I get this with my Aries female, except i have to initiate it every time.
I've gotten this so much throughout the years, but I just don't really understand it lol it's a waste of both of our time really ? Very annoying lol
Gamesssss
A) Immature

B) Daddy/Mommy issues

C) Attention seeking

D) Bored because s/o is out of town/had a fight/dumped them and they need validation

E) Insidious - getting off on toying with your emotions
Because in theory you shoudn't care...he texted you first right?


So let's say you mention it and act needy...he will know you care, wish makes his insecure self feel good.


If he acts like this often...i would say with 99% certitude it's intentional.


Now if you say something that doesnt require an answer, it's ok. Make sure to ask a question next time you text...and see if he responds

That's what I was assuming also. Maybe he's just trying to get a rise out of me or expects me to act needy and he wants that attention. Too bad he doesn't get that out of me lol I'll try that - I'll ask him a question next time and see what happens

Well i'm on the verge of completely giving up with this Aries, i can move on, i have other people who would actually appreciate what i am.

Yeah same. I don't like games. Makes me lose interest quick. We don't deserve this! Lol

Do you text back something that requires a reply and they never reply at all?


Have you tried texting first as well? Sometimes if the person who always initiates the text might think it's only a one way thing?

How about I text today and then after you respond I'll answer a week later ?

If it's friends I don't see very often I can be guilty of a delayed reply. But it normally when I get the text during a busy time. Read... think oh I'll reply later and then forget ?

lol ? We kinda think alike ???

Some people, once you've given them the attention that they need, they have no need to interact with you further.

Funny thing..an aries female in family is ditto this . She will msg and then never reply or reply after 3 days. If you miss her call and call her back she wont answer and neither call back . Beyond my level of comprehension
