Why Is He Ignoring Me All Of A Sudden?
Let’s be real, he’s probably dead. I’m kidding. There could be hundreds of reasons why he might be ignoring you all of a sudden. I know I’ve said this a few times, it’s probably not you, it’s them. Don’t take it personally. If he’s ignoring you, he’s basically ghosting you and you can’t help but ask why? What’s going on? What’s wrong with him or me? Just try to understand the situation and see if it’s worth anything to get all rattled up about. With that being said here are 10 plausible reasons on why is he ignoring me all of a sudden.
1. Are you sure he’s ignoring you?
Some people could get really paranoid because he didn’t send a good morning text or he didn’t text you back within 1 hour. If that’s the case, don’t worry he’s not ignoring you, he’s just busy with life at the moment like 90% of the people. So, there’s nothing to stress about. But you should probably start questioning his loyalty towards you if you texted him a question, and he doesn’t respond back to you within 2 days. And if he doesn’t even bother to hit you up within 4 days, you have now entered the friend zone. Give it one week and you’re still hearing crickets coming out of your phone; you have now entered the pre-ghosting stage. One month in and still nothing, he’s officially a ghost. To combat this, don’t invest too much time on him initially because you’ll end up going in too deep and when things like this happen, you’ll find it hard getting yourself out of it. But do move forward at a pace where you both are comfortable with.
2. Did you scare him away?
Did you do something obnoxious? Did you bring up marriage and kids when you guys aren’t even dating, yet? That might have been it. He’s going to be long gone if you did something like that. But assuming you didn’t and was just overall quote on quote clingy, that might have also scared him away. Sometimes he just needs his own space and do the things he wants. Sometimes it’s better not to rush things and take things slow so he has time to think and actually enjoy life in the process.
3. He’s going through something
No, he’s not PMSing or maybe he is, I don’t know. But what I do know is that if someone is going through some major life changing event like if he has to relocate to somewhere else, someone in the family past away, he has major emotional problems, or he might have ran into some financial issues, or he may be caught up in a drug deal and something went wrong, he might be in jail for a few days and can’t get a hold of you, true story. Things happen. These are just a few reasons why it seems like he’s ignoring you. He has some bigger problems to deal with at the moment and temporarily can’t get back to you so if you want, you can wait it out or simply ask what’s the real reason why he hasn’t talk to you for so long.
4. He’s probably intimidated by you
During your casual conversations did he find out something that might be too much for him to handle. Are you a straight A student and at the top of the class? Are you popular and liked by everyone? Are your parent’s wealthy and that you can afford thousand-dollar designer t-shirts? Or are you super hot. Like a 10 out of 10 hot even the sun can’t tame you. If so, he’s probably embarrassed hanging out with you or simply can’t keep up to your level. So, it’s up to you how you want to play this one out. If you’re interested to know, here are 10 signs he’s into you.
5. He’s dating someone
Granted some guys are players. He could be talking or flirting with a dozen of people. When he finds that special someone, he’ll probably drop off the map or not and spends more time with that person than with you, now if he does, he probably won’t have time to talk or hang out with you anymore. I know it’s pretty sad, but don’t worry. I’m still here at least, I’ll still reply to your comments and remind you that there’s someone out there who will like you for you, one day, it’s just not today. That’s why he’s ignoring you all of a sudden.
6. He’s not doing it intentionally
Perhaps he’s treating you like any of his plain friends. Like any other plain old friends, he’ll text them randomly when he needs something or if he’s going to tell you something it’s going to be short and simple. He’ll say “hi” to you when he sees you but he’s not going to make it a mission to hang out with you. Your status is like between an acquaintance and friend. You have yet to reach his close friend level and that’s probably why he doesn’t care as much. And you think he’s ignoring you. In reality he doesn’t know he’s actually doing it and you’ve been misreading the signs that he’s into you. So basically, he’s just an innocent dude minding his own business.
7. He sucks at texting
Going back to having a life. He could just be busy in general. I know when I’m busy; I can be away from my phone for hours. In addition, he might not like texting or chatting online in general. If that’s the case, switch to video chat, in-game chat, or actually plan to hang out in person. This way you get a way better quality of communication than just simply texting a screen. Sometimes quality is better than quantity. This way you both have time to do your own thing and when you guys do a video chat, or in-game chat or hang out in person, you guys can share whatever you want with each other and the conversation will be much more meaningful.
8. He doesn’t want to hurt you
At this point, he’s probably not interested in being friends or being romantic with you. He started to ignore you because he doesn’t want to deal with the drama or be there and suffer through an uncomfortable conversation. Or perhaps he wants you to slowly forget about him so your interest or whatever you guys have going on will fade away. Now that might be an excuse, or not. He probably just doesn’t want to deal with it right now, he may even have found someone else to talk to or hang out and if that doesn’t go well with that person he has you to fall back so he’s going to ignore you for a bit and see how things are going to play out. Sounds like a player. He’s probably one. Here are 5 signs he’s not into you.
9. He knows you like him.
Yeah, he’s going to swerve away if he has no interest in you. He just doesn’t want to lead you on. What an honorable guy, right?
10. He’s bored now
Initially things were all fun and games but that slowly fades away when you do the same things over and over again. For example, if your texts and talks keep on revolving around the same conversation topics, or if you guy keep doing paint night ever week and eating pizza every time you guys see each other, it’s probably time to switch things up and find something else to say or do. Variety is good because it keeps things interesting and fun.
Overall, as you can tell there are good and bad reasons to why he might be ignoring you all of a sudden. To truly know what’s going on, simply ask. I know he can just make an excuse up or lie, but it’s up to you to decide if he’s even worth it or not. If not, it’s okay to move on. But unlike him, you know I’m always here and I’ll come back every week on your notification and even reply back to your comments. I know my usual commenters. And unlike him, I do reply. Sometimes I don’t even have to wait a day to get back to you. Haha but that’s just me. So that’s why is he ignoring you all of a sudden.
