I have met 2 guys tried talking with them but when Im talking with them texting the just stop then hours later respond. Or I will call and they won't answer and I know they have their phone we just texted. Why do they do this?

Ummmm Cause they are no longer interested?

Um ... because they have things to do besides talking. Guys are like that.

because he is getting a thrill out of keeping women hanging on the line
cause it inflates his ego to have a passle of women that he texts with and talks with each day but only when it is convenient for him

because he really is not that interested in you
just feeds on the attention

i think they were buzy with someone

People wanna play hard to get....and they do this via texting. It's actually a good example of why texting is killing the art of conversation.

I wouldnt take it personally if I were you hun. Dont ever assume a man is talking to you alone. You are probably one of 5 awesome ladies competing for his attention. Luckily for us, it is a terrific guage in determining how interested a guy is in us. If the guy is TRULY into us, the gaps in his response time will get shorter and shorter. If that doesnt take place, then the onus is on you to kick him to the curb. PS: Some women are also multi-taskers where chatting is concerned. Its not just a guy thing

There could be lots of reasons and I'm not saying this is the reason but bear in mind some people are just born ignorant b--tards.

Either they are busy or are not interested.

why do women think we are just supposed to answer every text right away? guys are always busy, doing guy things... don't expect us to put down the controller right in the middle of a heated halo battle, or when we're on the crapper contemplating the mysteries of the universe...

Was the slow response during business hours? If so, cut the guy some slack, he may have been in a meeting or he may have been actually working!! But if it was outside business hours... no excuses, unless he was not interested in you. Speaking from experience , I send very short texts during business hours, long texts and long phone conversations after hours. And my replies are almost instant , but that's just me!! Just saying.

Too many variables to make any really useful deductions.

I myself will ignore my phone often, for all sorts of reasons. Rarely does it have anything to do with how much I do or don't want the person in my life.

As someone else said, sometimes it's because life at my end doesn't permit an immediate response. Sometimes it's a technology flaw: just because the message you just sent went right through, doesn't mean the next one will. Servers go down, people go into elevators, or move to a different cell tower that is flakey.

But sometimes, it is a necessary method to manage the conversation, too. If you've sent a series of "chatty" texts, and nothing else is going on, I might not want to keep that going, because I really AM busy. So when you call, I'll pretend the phone stopped working, so that I can calm things down a bit.

I might be head over heals for you, and looking forward to the next chance I have to put the squeeze on, but that isn't really a verbalization sort of thing for me. It's an action thing. And if I'm trying to deal with real life, chatting you up about things I can't do, can be really irritating, no matter how otherwise delectable you may be.

So no, you really can't even reliably deduce how interested many guys are in you, based on how rapidly and consistently they respond to texts.

And of course, the dedicated players of the world, and the ones who are after your money, are the ones MOST likely to be at your beck and call on cue.

I think the key here is observing a person's pattern gradually over time. We may not be able to make conclusive statements about a person's interest after the first two or three interactions really.. But I suspect if a man or woman is still claiming they are too busy to talk to you after those initial interactions, then you can assume that you don't hold any significant slot on the person's agenda. People MAKE TIME for the things in life that are important to them. Even if a person is busy at the moment or even that week, they will suggest a CONTINGENCY PLAN to maintain the flow of communication with someone they are beginning to value. Try not to buy that "busy" excuse for too long. Most people use it as an excuse for neglect.

This!

Yeah, trying to figure out how to capture 2 boogers with one foray..

Close, but could also be a pesky nose hair.

Especially with a nose like mine.

yea, that's a rare occurrence... but i think you get a wish when that happens...

To be honest ... it sounds like you are chasing after them too much...
That works like a repellent so stop it.

Try to be the one who ends the conversations. Don't go on and on and on till he ends it.
And if he doesn't reply, NO friggin way should you phone him!
Don't spend so much time texting. Texting should be for SHORT exchange only, so a short flirty, or playful or funny thing. Longer conversations should be done by phone or meeting.

So keep it short and sweet and say goodbye before he has the change to do so. That keeps them longing for more.

Crystal offer good advice.
