Why Her Texts Are Slow: Understanding Mixed Signals in Dating
The Situation
"She texts me first then takes forever to reply"
The Brutal Truth
Her taking forever to reply after texting first means she's not as invested as she appears. She's stringing you along, causing confusion and insecurity. If she wanted to communicate, she’d make it a priority instead of keeping you in limbo.
❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
An anxious person might obsessively check their phone or escalate the conversation, trying to gain reassurance. This only pushes the other person further away, as it can come across as clingy or desperate. Instead, focus on your self-worth and set boundaries.
