writes:Is there any point bothering with this guy. He always texts me days after we seen each other, sometimes i'll have to wait a week to even receive a text. And then when I happen to take a while to reply, I noticed that he also takes ages himself, it's as if he is being petty and doing the same just because i did... It's only whenever i take ages, he'll take longer to reply. But when he takes ages, i just reply normally i don't wait a day or hours on end to look like i haven't seen it, or am 'so busy' to reply.I just feel his messing with my head doing this and it's frustrating me, I sort of feel i should just not text back next time and move on because it does feel like he's playing games, which i'm not into. And maybe he doesn't use his phone much, but we're seeing each other and i've been out with him a lot so i know he uses his phone a fair bit and always replies quickly. I know girls and guys play games with texting, but i'm over that now and it's just making me loose interest... what should i do?

 Yes he is playing games. When you are busy he has to appear busy too so he doesn't seem too eager by responding right away. Mind games like this do suck. If you are interested in him then call him out on it next time, say "you don't have to fake busy just because I didn't answer. I apologize it took me awhile but it means nothing." and throw in that you dont like playing mind games when dating. Hopefully he will then stop messing around because he will know its obvious. If you aren't all that into him to call him out on it and try a change then forget him and move on.

Apologies to be so blunt but if he was interested he would text you - not take a week to reply. Sounds like this is something you should end and move on from

 No. There's no point to it. He's playing you....
