6 BS Texting Excuses From Guys That You Should Never Put Up With
Dudes are stereotypically not as into texting as girls are. But let’s be real, it’s 2016, everyone has their phone by their side at all times like it’s a newborn baby. Guys have group chats with their friends just like girls do.
There’s no such thing as a “bad texter,” no matter how many BS excuses a guy gives you for not hitting you back.
Chances are, if he tells you he’s a “bad texter,” he’s not a bad texter, he’s just bad at texting you. But here’s a rough guide just in case.
1. If He Only Texts After Midnight…
First off, I shouldn’t have to tell you that if he only texts you late night asking you to come over, he just views you as a booty call. Like, c’mon, this is the most basic fuckboy detecting method in the book. If he only wants to talk to you in the evenings, it’s because that’s when he’s horny and free for you to give him a BJ, ditch his ass pronto.
2. If He Doesn’t Text You From 9-5…
Yes, these are the prime hours of the day, and it’s annoying that he can’t entertain you with his witty jokes when you’re bored at work. But maybe he has a super serious job or a work culture that looks unfavorably on cellphone use. As long as he texts you after work, or maybe even before work if you’re into morning texts, he may still be a contender.
3. He Only Texts On Weekends…
This isn’t nearly as bad as the booty call texter, but it’s still essentially the same thing. If he only texts you during the weekends it means that he’s only interested in you when he’s partying and looking for a one night stand. You don’t exist from Monday to Thursday.
4. He Only Texts Basic Responses…
Lots of guys who do this shit claim they’re a bad texter, but they’re not. They just DGAF about their conversation with you enough to put actual effort in. Sending responses like “haha,” “cool,” and “nice,” might not mean that he’s a “bad texter,” it means that he’s texting you back the bare minimum so that you’re still into him and he can bench you while he has a real convo with the girl he’s actually crushing on.
5. He Texts You And Then Disappears For Days…
Nobody is “busy” for 24 hours at a time. And nobody forgets to check their phone for 24 hours at a time unless they’re in a coma. The reason he hit you up and then disappeared for days before responding is because he probably has a girlfriend and he doesn’t want her to know that he’s texting his side hoe, which is probably you. Don’t waste time trying to confirm that he has a girlfriend, just ghost him, save your dignity while you still can.
6. He Only Texts You During The Week…
This could be a couple of things. There’s the potential that he’s in a relationship where he only sees his bae on the weekends and therefore only texts side hoes during the week. There’s also the potential that he reserves the week for “dating” and the weekend for getting blackout drunk and groping girls in the club. Either way, it’s kinda weird. Obviously you don’t want a dude who texts you non-stop when you’re out with friends, but it’s also plain weird for a dude to disappear all weekend. Approach with caution.
