We have all been there. You are chatting with a guy and things are going well. Then all of a sudden radio silence. He fell off the face of the earth and stopped texting. Why? With no explanation, you are left to constantly wonder. What do you do? Is he just being a jerk? What do you do when a guy stops texting you?
When a guy stops texting you, the first thing you do is go nuts trying to figure out why. Maybe he is still watching your Instagram stories and posting, but isn’t texting you back. You want to believe the best and hope his phone just isn’t working right. But then why wouldn’t he message you on one of the millions of apps available?
A lot of thoughts fly through your mind when a guy stops texting you. You might think of something you want to do or say to him. But before making any decisions you may regret, there are some steps you should take.
# Cool offBefore doing anything, just relax. When you first realize you’ve been ghosted you feel bad, maybe even pissed off. You want to go off on him. But before giving yourself the crazy girl label, try to cool off.
Take your mind off of him. Even if you have been texting nonstop and got used to hearing from him and even shared some personal things, he stopped texting you, so take some time to regroup before doing something dramatic.
# Vent to a friend
This is something you can do whether you are cooled off or not. You can be pissed off or upset or frustrated. Get it all out. You can trash talk him to your heart’s content. Just be sure you are talking to a trusted friend and not someone who will spread gossip.
# Be sad
Getting over texting a crush can be hard. You want to mourn the loss, but you were never really dating, so it feels like you can’t. Well, you can. Go ahead and cry and drown yourself in mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Just don’t let this go on for too long. He is not worth your time, energy, or tears.
Talking to a friend will also remind you how amazing you are. Instead of being down on yourself, your friend will perk you up and remind you that you deserve better than this jerk.
# Distract yourself
Instead of trying your hardest not to text him, avoid your phone all together. Do something to keep yourself busy so your mind isn’t revolving around him. Try a DIY you’ve been wanting to do. Go check out a sale at the mall, go to the gym, or get some work done that you’ve been putting off.Before you know it, you will forget all about this jerk.
# Live your best lifeGo out with your friends and be happy. You might still have a little sting from his rejection or rather lack there of, but the best way to get over him is to own your confidence.Go dancing, get dressed up, and feel great. Now I’m not saying to show off or depend on others to feel good, but posting a killer selfie and raking up the likes certainly won’t hurt. Plus it will show him you don’t need him and are doing just fine without him.
