Initially texting like gangbusters on both sides, so it's not like it was an annoyance when we started. I knew he was going out last night (no problems there). We had been playing a game together online. He didn't say goodbye when he logged off. I sent him a text a few hours later to say goodnight. It is now 14 hours later and no response.He can't afford to do things for me financially. So to show me he cares, the least he could do is say "goodnight", right? I've asked him about this before. He's offended when people ignore him. But he ignores me? I just don't understand. It's thoughtless. Do I mean that little to him?

 maybe he didn't get the texts.
Texts are not sent on their own, they piggyback on other packets on the network (why we can get cheap or free texting it costs the company almost nothing for us to use texting) and sometimes they don't get where they are intended for hours. Or if the phone is not receiving they won't get the text.
this happens with my BF and i a lot... I've actually seen him reboot his phone and watch 3 or 4 texts from me roll in one right after the other...

 The problem with texting is that everyone expects an instant response. Maybe he read it and meant to get back to you when he had a free moment and forgot. Unless he does it frequently, I wouldn't worry about it. And when you are first dating, you have that urge to want to always talk to that person but it does wane with time.

 He probably was just tired. Unless it happens often, I wouldn't read too much into it.
