1. He’s running a marathon…in Norway
He obviously forgot to mention that he frequently travels the world to run marathons because he goes so often it’s simply second nature. Gosh, he’s so dreamy, and athletic, and well-traveled. One day the two of you will wander the world together traveling to exotic places.
How to React: Obviously, if he’s in another country, his cell phone isn’t working so he can’t text you back. This also means you can’t text him good luck wishes. Try sending flowers to his house with personalized haikus of affection. He’ll be impressed by your literary skills.
2. He reached into a bag of grapes and was bitten by a black widow spider hiding in there
It’s terrifying and totally plausible, I swear (I read about it on the internet somewhere). There he was, snacking on grapes while sending you cute texts and next thing he knew, he was clenching his hand in agonizing pain. Those fingers aren’t going to be able to text for a long time.
How to React: Okay, this is the test that separates the best from the rest. Now is the time to show him how devoted you are. I recommend sending him flowers, candy, love notes, etc. You can even hire a sky-writer. His friends will be impressed by how far you will go to wish him the best health.
3. He’s at work
This is totally reasonable. Of course he can’t text you back. He’s busy selling Cutco knives door-to-door and can’t stop mid-sales pitch to reply to your winky face tongue combo emoji. Work can be very demanding and he needs to put time and energy into his job.
How to React: Demand that he quits. I’m sorry, but this relationship will never survive if he is going to let trivial things stand in the way of your love. He’s abandoning you for the useless gain of monetary wealth. Your love should be the only thing he needs for his survival. If you explain the logic behind this, he’ll understand that a job is nothing compared to your affection.
4. He’s on a date with another girl
While this may feel like a bad thing, it’s actually a wonderful thing. He knows he’s going to be spending a significant amount of time with you: the gem that shines brighter than the rest. This can be quite terrifying for guys. He’s scared now and his trepidation might cause him to do something rash. He just wants to see what else might be out there. Now that he’s on a date, he can see how every other girl pales in comparison to you.
How to React: Make it easier on him. Show up to the restaurant and sit a few tables away. Make sure you stare at both of them the whole meal. He’s feeling anxious about letting this poor girl down easy. Of course he is, he’s a nice guy. With you there, he’ll want to cut to the chase, rip it off like a band-aid, and leave before he strings her along any further. He knows it’s the right thing to do.
5. He’s just not that into you
How to React: Keep texting him. He’s just shy and needs the right encouragement. I’d say one text every hour should do the trick. Heck, one text every minute. He’ll build up the courage in no time.
