1.He’s\she’s playing games
If you’re in the early stages of dating and he’s ignoring you, he might be playing hard to get. It’s all about power. He wants you to experience that uncertain, panicked response so that you’ll be more receptive to him when he does reply.
It’ll be a relief when he does, and that relief could affect your decision making and make you feel more invested in the relationship than you really are.
If this feels familiar, remember that game-playing and manipulative behavior isn’t acceptable at any stage of a relationship. Trust that if someone really likes you, they won’t play games. After all, why would anyone who likes you want you to feel panicked and uncertain?
