7 Text Messages Someone Might Send If They’re Just Not That Into You

Let’s face it: much of the getting-to-know-you stage in a budding relationship is done over text message. Sure, you might flirt with each other between classes or while waiting for the bus after school. But most of your communication probably takes place over text, which definitely has its pros and cons. On the plus side, you have time to think about what you’re going to text your crush instead of having to come up with cute, clever things to say on the spot (and you get to add the perfect emojis to match). But the downside is it’s really hard to tell for sure if someone you’re texting is really into you... or just stringing you along.

If you consistently initiate the conversations or spend more time waiting for a response than actually talking, it might be time to put the phone down and reevaluate the situationship. Don’t worry, we gathered some major red flags to look out for when you’re texting your crush. If you see one of these in your convo, it’s possible that your crush isn't that into you and it might be time to move on to someone new.
