I have been talking to a guy for about two weeks, and we’ve been texting consistently every day.

Yesterday he seemed insecure about whether I actually liked him or wanted him. Earlier this week, when I took around 8 hours to reply once, he double texted me asking if I regretted what we said/did, so he definitely seemed emotionally invested.

Last night I reassured him and basically poured my heart out in a long vulnerable text. I sent it pretty late, around when he usually sleeps, and he also has an job during the day.

The issue is that it’s now been around 18+ hours and he still hasn’t replied. I’ve seen him online/offline multiple times during the day, which is what’s making me anxious. At the same time, I know emotionally heavy texts can sometimes take longer to answer.

I’m trying to approach this logically instead of catastrophizing. How would you interpret this behavior at this stage, and at what point would you consider the silence meaningful enough to address directly?

Update: He replied. He said the reason it took so long was because my message involved a lot of self-reflection/emotional depth and he wasn’t sure how to respond properly at first.

Hey! I’m 24F in the EEST time zone looking for some people to game with regularly.
Right now I’m mainly looking for people who play Age of Empires 3 on PC, but I also play Warframe on PlayStation. I’m into Crusader Kings 3 too, though lately AOE3 has been my main focus.
I’m pretty flexible schedule-wise since my work hours are flexible, so I’m available most days as long as we plan ahead a bit.
Mostly looking for chill people to play, chat, and have fun with. bonus points if you don’t mind some casual strategy chaos XD.

Hey! 24F here. I’ve been living abroad for about half of my life, so languages have become a big part of who I am. I’m fluent in 3 languages—English, Romanian, and Indonesian. I’m looking for someone to help me with French/Spanish, for my career but also because I genuinely enjoy learning languages. In return, I’d be happy to help you practice English / Indonesian / Romanian. If you’re interested in learning together, feel free to DM me
