What does it mean when the guy you’re talking to doesn’t text you back for 4 days?

it probably means one of two things. he's not that into you, or he's just not much of a texter.

Honestly it takes two seconds to send a text. I would voice my opinion to him and explain it to him. Remember theres a difference between trying to strength your relationship and being a clinger. If I were in your shoes I'd say this to him: "I know your busy with yoir major and im happy your making your dreams come true. But I do miss your text messages. You dont have to have a conversation but just reading that I have been on your mind all day or how much I mean to you, it really brightens my day."I wish you luck and hope it helps.

4 days is a long time. he could at least send a small text i seriously doubt he has absolutely zero free time.

how about if they also have a part time job?

the reason i came to this question is because of a situation between my ex and I, she didnt talk to me for about a month, claiming to be busy, it was a few months with up to about 5 messages between us. i dont want to see someone else go through what i did, i didnt know what happened at first. for all i knew she could have been hit by a bus. but it is different in your situation, please, find a way to explain how you feel to him. i understand that she had no interest in me, but like i said your situation is different. like alice said, voice your opinion.

It really does depend on the situation, could you explain the relationship because it would be hard to say anything without understanding what is going on. To answer your question, it would depend on what he was asked, and the nature of the question might be causing him to no respond. If you guys are dating then I would say 4 days is a really long time, and maybe you should try to talk in person to figure out what the issue is so you can avoid the stress of running through infinite "what ifs" in your mind. Good luck

Firstly, relax

He still has his own life, and you are not entirely certain of his schedule or of what he does on his day-to-day, it is easy to lose track of something like a text conversation. it is possible it just slipped his mind, or he could just not feel like talking.

Catch him with a phone call and calmly, without sounding accusatory, ask him if he's just been busy or if he didn't feel like talking. Don't take his answer personally. Even best friends don't feel like talking to each other on occasion. There is nothing wrong with that.

Just text him first. I think it doesn't mean anything. Maybe he read your message, wanted to reply, but didn't have time and he forgot about it. 4 days are a lot of time, but shit happens.

Actions speak louder than words.....

Why dont you text him again,see how he is.It may simply be as you mention that he is busy.BUT... if he still doesnt respond,it could be that he isnt wanting to.
But as we cant tell by what little you give us,if you have been friends long,or how long you have known him,or what have you been doing with the relationship its hard to answer this well.
Give it a little longer.May be ask him to meet you somewhere and see then if he responds,if not just let it go and if you dont hear soon after that then Im sorry it might be best to not be bothered by him and if he gets back later than it's a pleasant surprise. to tell here.
