How To Respond When He Finally Texts You Back

Everyone knows: Dating isn’t always an easy affair.

No matter who is involved, it always comes with their fair share of problems and confusion.

Here’s a common scenario:

You feel a strong connection and attraction for a guy. But when you text him, he takes ages to reply to you.

Even if he says he likes you, you may notice that he just isn’t putting as much effort into talking to you.

Don’t worry – We’ve seen this situation time and time again.

As international dating and relationship experts, we’ve helped thousands of women around the world deal with problems like this.

If you’ve been waiting for him to text you back for days and he hasn’t, here’s the RIGHT way to respond when he finally does.

How To Respond When He Finally Texts You Back

When a guy finally texts you back, make him wait by not responding right away.

The purpose of this is to educate him the importance of being on time and respecting your boundaries.

Alternatively, tell him you’d like it if he texted you back more frequently since you don’t want to be with someone who can’t make time for you.

This is very important, since it establishes a standard for acceptable and unacceptable behavior.

If you simply resume messaging him and being your loving self or lavishing him with attention, he will believe that it is acceptable to leave you hanging and waiting for a text endlessly.

As a result, we strongly advise you to put all emotions aside and simply explain your boundaries in this case.

By doing so, you’re not only showing him that you’re not willing to cope with a jerk, but you’re also demonstrating a high level of self-respect.

And if there’s one thing that we’ve learned in years of coaching women, it’s this:

Guys are attracted to women who value themselves.

The takeaway is simple: Don’t encourage bad behavior in your man.

It might be tempting to “let him be” and allow him to do whatever he wants. You might feel like this is the nice thing to do, when in reality it only makes you look cheap and unworthy in his eyes.

Allowing him to do whatever he wants with no consequences will encourage this sort of poor behavior while also devaluing your worth.

The foundation of a strong relationship is that two individuals choose to be together. They want to communicate with one another, be with one another, love one another, and support one another.

In other words, it is simply impossible to maintain this kind of relationship if it was only a one way street, where you’re putting in all this effort and he can’t even text you back in a reasonable amount of time.

By clearing the air, you’re giving him an opportunity to not just show up and put in more effort, but also to show you more appreciation and care.

With that being said, let’s go into some detail about how to respond when he eventually responds to your texts:

1. Don’t Text Back Immediately

This might feel a bit petty at first, but if someone treats you unfairly and refuses to listen to reason, you may need to give them a taste of their own medicine.

We’re not suggesting you sink to that level, but you should exercise a bit of patience and wait.

In other words, don’t give him the satisfaction of knowing you were waiting with baited breath for his text. Make him to wait a few hours or even a day before responding.

This will show him that you’re not desperate for him, and that you’re not going to wait days or weeks for him to respond to your messages.

Obviously, you should adjust this according to how late his replies are. If he didn’t make you wait that long, just waiting a few hours before messaging him back is enough to get this message across.

2. Don’t Brush It Off

If you’re reading this right now, you’re probably a kind girl with a big heart who only wants the best for your man.

And that’s why it hurts so much when he doesn’t seem to return this passion to you.

There’s nothing wrong with you expecting and waiting for him to respond to your texts. In fact, it’s a sign that you truly care about him and want to speak with him.

But let’s be clear here: If he’s not replying to your texts in time, he’s acting in a way that doesn’t match your degree of desire for him.

So don’t reward him for that conduct. Don’t just brush it off and go back to having a light-hearted conversation as if nothing happened.

He needs to understand that not putting up a decent effort will result in him taking you for granted in the future.

This doesn’t mean you need to confront him angrily. Usually, a slight change in your tone or a drop in enthusiasm will be more than enough to show him that you’re disappointed in him.

3. Don’t Argue Or Overreact

As much as you want to confront him and tell him that not responding to your texts isn’t working for you, you should avoid the temptation to argue or overreact.

Lashing out at him is only going to make things worse. And your goal is ultimately to build a closer connection with him.

Just keep in mind that you’re not trying to force him to pay more attention or spend more time with you.

Instead, you’re just trying to establish a standard for acceptable and undesirable behavior, and expressing your own needs to him.

If you don’t do this in a calm and patient way, you risk driving him away and appearing desperate or immature.

Remember: You’re a woman of high value, and you shouldn’t have to struggle to have someone to be with you.

So take a deep breath, relax, and address the situation with grace. Avoid letting your own emotions get the best of you.

As tempting as it may be, do not berate him or try to guilt him into acting in a certain way. Simply express how you feel and what you require from him.

Continue to be kind and caring, and rekindle the romance with him once he realizes what he’s done.

On the other hand, don’t waste your time chasing him if he doesn’t acknowledge your needs or even lashes out at you for raising these concerns with him.

A guy who actually cares about you and loves you will understand that these requests come from your heart, and they are just motivated by a desire to chat to be closer to him.

4. Tell Him How You Feel

When you do respond to him, be sure to express your displeasure with the fact that he made you wait for a reply.

Even if you’re in a relationship, people get busy, and it can take a couple of hours to respond to someone.

That’s perfectly understandable and acceptable.

Even if he didn’t text you for a day, there are times when he couldn’t or didn’t because of a genuine reason.

Here’s the important thing:

If there was a genuine reason for his silence, he’d tell you as soon as he messages you back, if not immediately.

And you’ll know what to do based on his explanation.

Obviously, you can skip all of these steps if he experienced a family tragedy or some other reason for not responding to your texts for a while.

But if his excuse was that he was too busy or anything, you should let him know that this isn’t going to work for you.

Because in reality, he’s really telling you that he was busy with something more important than you. And that’s not a good sign for any relationship.

If he’s going to be extremely busy for a while, he should at least send you a text stating that he’ll respond as soon as possible.

It’s just good manners, especially when you’re trying to build a connection with a man.

5. Don’t Text Him Too Much

Sure, texting is a great way to stay in touch with those you love. But at the same time, you should not overdo it.

Love is a two-way street. It requires both partners to be putting in roughly the same amount of attention and care.

So if you find that he’s just not reciprocating your efforts, you should limit how often you text him.

If he doesn’t respond to your messages after a couple of days, you should stop messaging him altogether. You don’t want to keep pushing and pushing to get his attention.

Maybe it’s not something that will lead to the end of your relationship, but a lack of communication between partners is always a symptom of a deeper issue.

So when in doubt, open up to him and let him know that your messages and texts are important for you and that he should be more responsive to them.
