We’ve all been there. You meet someone hot, exchange numbers and realize you actually enjoy talking to them about more than where you can find the closest can of beer. You have a few conversations, start seeing them pretty often and suddenly, you’re 100 percent hooked. They cross your mind more than what’s probably healthy, and you begin texting them more than you probably should. Whether they know it or not, they’re your new bae and you’re convinced you are theirs. That is, until, the dreaded no response.
But don’t worry – it’s definitely not your fault! Here are 29 commonly accepted, yet totally illogical thoughts we all have when we don’t get the text back right away.
1. I definitely sent that message 30 minutes ago *checks timestamp*
2. Or three…oops
3. Okay, but why did they reply in two seconds to the last one? Clearly their phone is right beside them
4. Maybe they got up to go to the bathroom
5. Guys take a long time in the bathroom
6. No wait, those are girls
7. Okay, well, they could’ve gotten in the shower
8. No, they definitely always shower in the morning
9. Unless they went to the gym?
10. Yep, they’re probably using their phone for music – has to get in the zone
11. You do your thing, boo
12. I’m sure they’ll reply when they get home
13. WHO TAKES THIS LONG AT THE GYM?!
14. Oh no, maybe they left it in the locker room
15. Or worse, lost it FOREVER
16. No way, they’re not that dumb. They’ll get it back!
17. Maybe I’ll actually do some work to distract myself
18. Lol, what a joke
19. Maybe I’ll just stalk their social media to see the last time they were on
20. THEY UPLOADED TO THEIR SNAP STORY TWO MINUTES AGO?!?
21. What the hell are you doing?! Don’t you see that little red circle near your icon? It means you have a message!
22. Maybe our convo was opened when I replied so they never saw it
23. Okay, I’m just going to put my phone on loud and throw it across the room so I don’t have to stare at it anymore
24. *Ding* Finally! Took you long enough
25. *Checks phone* Ugh, mom, stop texting me. I am very busy!
26. They hate me. They definitely hate me. What’d I do wrong? Am I not cute enough? Did they meet someone else?
27. You know what? Screw this. I’m better than this *throws phone across the room*
28. *Ding* Dear god mother, what did I tell you…*checks phone*
29. BAE, YOU’RE BACK! I knew you loved me. Don’t you ever do that to me again.
