- QuestionWhat if the person seems uninterested in texting you altogether and you seem to be the only person keeping the conversation going?Community AnswerHave you considered the possibility that means he or she most probably doesn't like texting? If that is the case, then the fact they even text you is a good sign. On the other hand, if this person isn't keeping in touch with you in any way whatsoever, then they may just not be interested in connecting with you.
- QuestionHow can I deal with people who don't text back immediately?Community AnswerPatience, my friend. They may not be texting back immediately because they don't want to text, or because they're busy doing other things. Not everyone has at phone at hand all the time.
- QuestionWhat do I do if I can't think of interesting things to say to keep the chat lively?Community AnswerSee what that person likes. If they feel passionate about the subject you guys will talk for hours.
