Is it okay to ignore good night and good morning texts?
« on: March 18, 2022, 11:32:45 AM »
I have a guy friend that texts me good morning/ nights every single day and I always feel like I’m obligated to respond back every single time. (It’s been going on for months…) So I always do, but it’s becoming so annoying…and I want to politely tell him to stop but I’m scared to hurt his feelings… would you just ignore it or respond?

The guy is a friend whom I meet through a friend. Since the day he got my number he texts me every single day. He is very sweet! Sometimes we have long phone conversations but he mainly texts me pretty much all throughout the day…it’s annoying but I guess my real question should be

HOW THE ACTUAL FUK CAN I POLITELY GHOST THIS GUY WITHOUT HURTING HIS FEELINGS?

You gave him your number for a reason. It’s best to politely let him know that you don’t want him to text you anymore and give him a reason. It’s rude to ignore.

It's cute how you call him 'friend' when he sure doesn't feel that way about you.  8) No guy is going to text you that much and think of you only as a 'friend'. Anyways, you don't have to respond immediately.

I don't know him, so I wouldn't respond.

haha not going to lie, but i was once probably that kind of guy...but even still subconsciously I always thought, hmmm if her reponse doesn't seem genuine or she's only answering her phone not to hurt my feelings, I really shouldn't call her so much anymore or anymore alltogether..l ols...it's just a phase some guys go through...when they reach their full game, they'll look back at what a fuking simp or dumbass they were..lols.. I since learned, if someone's not interested in you or showing interest, don't put in anymore effort or energy..althou gh for some persistency does pay off, and for some women, they do want to be chased and worked for- I see this trend dying down compare to just 10-20 years ago..thinking back, i would had just prefer the girl tell me what Im doing wrong..like hey, go ahead tell me, i'm too clingy, or im trying or doing too much...lols or you're too softhearted..l ols or you laugh too damn much, you don't have to chuckle after every fuking sentence..lmao

I thought we was just friends but perhaps I’ve developed some feelings along the way and need to end it. I know it’s wrong but I want to do it without hurting feelings…  :-\ and being weird about it

I think you're sending him mix messages.  Have a honest conversation to find out where you and he stands on things instead of wondering/guessing.

The Confucius in me says if after three times she doesn't respond, it is clear she isn't interested and another is waiting.

Now, this expert seems to suggest 4 tries. But I'll make that last try a quit.

Yes. She did give him a mix message by giving him her number.

One day when her world crashes though, she will remember his annoying sweetness.

I think you're sending him mix messages.  Have a honest conversation to find out where you and he stands on things instead of wondering/guessing.

If you enjoy talking to him then why not? I don't see what the problem is.

In your situation Rebel, I think he has a feeling you like him only as a friend and I think you're aware he likes you more than a friend.  I'm sure you send him plenty a signal and that doesn't seem to work.  Instead of sending clues and signal, put a closure to it so both of you know where things stand.
