Hey ok so i know this probably sounds lame but if you could take the time to help me out i would REALLY appreciate it!(:
Well im going through a tricky time right now. I have a boyfrind he is 17 and im 16 and we have been dating for almost a year. We text alot but mostly at night when we are not so busy. He stays up really late like me, but anyways sometimes we will be texting and then out of nowhere he just stops for like 20 minutes or more and i always ask, what are you doing? And he says "not much". Its so frusterating and i have talked with him about it many timea and told him how i feel. He always apologizes but he still does it. Like right now for example we were textng and he hasnt responded to me in 2 hours! What should i do about this? And also can anyobe please explain to me why boys do this? Thanks!
As the others have already said: Guys don't care much for texting, and don't go asking him what he's doing and why he isn't replying because that makes you look clingy and desperate.
What you should do is always keep the boy chasing you! So next time, you should be the one not to reply and he should be the one to text first. They say absence does make the heart grow fonder. Just get on with something and don't reply. Before you know it, you'll have him missing your replies instead. :P [ soph0900's advice column | Ask soph0900 A Question ]

My boyfriend used to text a lot and then when we were together for awhile he stopped texting me as much, but it was because he didn't really care for texting.
I don't think there is much you can do about it. You can't make him text you and you've already talked to him. Maybe try phone calls instead of texting. Other than that, I really don't think there is a fix unless you keep the conversation more interesting. [ lightoftruth's advice column | Ask lightoftruth A Question ]

I would stop being so paranoid about it, Asking him what he is doing because he is not replying back in 2 seconds is annoying after awhile. Wait until he text you, See if he does.
Try talking on the phone instead of texting him. How often do you both spend time together? Perhaps he doesn't have much to talk about. Let him come to you instead of always initiating the conversation. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
