Why has my crush seen my message but didn’t reply?

If you send your crush a text that doesn’t demand a response, they probably won’t respond. You really shouldn’t be surprised by that—just try texting them again a little later and ask a question so you can gauge if your text was the problem, or if they really don’t want to talk to you.

How long should I wait for my crush to text back?

It’s totally acceptable to send a message to check in after a couple days. Two days is a great amount of time to wait because it’s not too soon (it gives your crush a chance to miss you and reflect on the time you spent together/chatting!), but it’s not too long either. When you do send this kind of message, keep it light and fun.
