The Pros And Cons Of Double Texting

One of the worst things that can happen when you text someone you really like is that they all of a sudden stop replying. There are a couple of things that can lead to this and you start to wrack your brain for the most likely solution, just to save a bit of your ego. As time rolls on you have to decide whether to send them a little reminder that you're still waiting or you can just accept it and move on. So the big question looms - to double text or not to double text?

Pro: They might not have realized they didn't reply.

I mean, it's a possibility. It happens. We've all been busy and not realized that we didn't finish the message.

Con: They might have absolutely realized they didn't reply.

You started to text back for the sake of it but now you've run out of steam and just don't want to anymore. Letting you stir for a while before giving a text back.

Pro: It can restart the conversation.

Maybe it started to get a little boring but you aren't ready to give up, you know how much fun you are. We know you can turn it around with your razor-sharp wit.

Con: It'll make you look kinda desperate.

If you wanna risk looking like a desperate, lonely weirdo then do. It could pay off really well or it'll just seem like you can't take a hint.

Pro: Some girls like persistence.

She might be playing hard to get or maybe she lost interest but showing that you're willing to put in a bit of work for her could intrigue them a little bit.

Con: You can become annoying and completely ruin your chances.

Ghosting is the handiest way to rid yourself of someone but sometimes people just keep trying to get back in contact and that is a quick way to get yourself blocked.

Pro: It might lead to a date.

Some people don't want to beat around the bush. Part of you being ghosted could be down to if you've been talking for a while and haven't made a move. Maybe they just want to see a text that moves things forward.

Con: You're gonna be freaking out while you wait for the reply.

Anything that could go wrong is now running through your head at a million thoughts a second. Until you get a reply you're gonna regret hitting send.

Pro: They might be too nervous to ask you.

Well... it's a possibility.

Con: You spend forever trying to think of something good enough to send them.

It needs to be good but snappy, they need to be able to digest it easily but be able to reply to it...maybe I should just send them a funny picture...

Pro: It could all go really well.

The best thing to do in every situation is remain optimistic.

Con: You won't be able to salvage it when you see them next.

If you know the person in real life then you could try and continue the conversation in person, online broke the ice a little bit and now you can engage with them in reality. Much better. But if you keep messaging them and then try initiate face to face you're just gonna be remembered as the guy that tried way too hard.
