How come it takes guys several minutes or even hours to respond to you?
Well, it is simpler than you think. Most guys have activities going on throughout most of their day, whether it is playing sports, doing homework, or even hanging out with the bros. It’s not that he doesn’t like you, but he is not
waiting by his cell phone every second for you to text him. Most men don’t think it is a big deal if you
respond to his text slowly.  However, it’s the “text back” that counts. If he still texts you back, even if its two hours later, it still means that he’s thinking about you.Â
Do girls over analyze text messages?
Of course. But don’t we all? It is hard to see the tone and expression of the sender when all you have is words in front of you. There is always a time when a simple texting conversation goes horribly wrong just because of a misunderstanding of a text. It has happened to me.  However, I do believe girls over analyze texts more than guys only because girls tend to be more speculative while guys tend to not waste energy over something as simple as a text.Â
Can texting be a way to avoid real conversation?
Does your boyfriend or crush text you when you wish he would just call you instead? I actually do not
think texting can be a way to avoid real conversation. Why? Because texting is still a form of
conversation. If a guy really wanted to avoid having a conversation with you, then he would try to text
and call you as little as possible. If he answers most of your texts and calls, then you have nothing to
worry about. Â
