We have all been there. You send a message to him, an hour passes, then a day and no response yet. You even reboot your phone and remove the battery just to make sure that your phone is okay. Still, no messages from him.
What could be the problem? Is he okay or is he just ignoring you? We have listed some of the reasons as to why guys take so long to respond to SMS.
1. He doesnât want to seem desperate

If itâs a guy you just met recently, he is probably trying not to seem so desperate. So he is just buying sometime but he will finally reply if he is interested. Men donât want to seem so needy and they know that if they do, you might lose interest in them.
2. He is paying back

Why guys take long to reply to messages(Peep Show)
Sounds petty but believe you me, guys enjoy this game. If you usually take long to respond to a guyâs messages without a good reason, why wouldnât he do the same?
3. He is not in the mood

4. He is not interested

When a guy has no interest, he won't respond to messages(Giphy)
Sorry honey, but if a guy always takes hours to respond to your messages, he might be trying to tell you that he is not interested. So, will you just stop flooding his inbox with messages? Itâs good for your heart.
5. He is not an SMS person
Texts messages are not for everyone. Some guys feel that they canât express themselves well through text. With such men, they would rather call than send messages.
6. Heâs truly busy

Some guys are genuinely busy. Once they get time, they are likely to reply and apologize for taking too long.
