Why Hasn't My Friend Replied?

[abbeylee90]

My friend hasn't answered and she's read my message I can't think of anything I've done why might she not reply?

Please stop this nonsense Abbey, you're not doing anone any favours.

Maybe she was in the middle of doing something else when she got it. I often don't reply immediately to messages. 

[Floko]

How long since your message was sent ?

There could be any number of reasons. Maybe she is trying to think of an answer but unsure  what to  say?

 

[Moorea7]

Might depend on the content of your message?

How do you know she has read the message?

[THECORBYLOON]

If it's urgent, why not 'phone her?

 

If it's not urgent, she might be doing any number of things and be too busy to reply or she might have meant to reply and got got caught up in something else.

 

There's been times when I have written a reply, got distracted, forgotten to send it but thought that I had.

If it's a WhatsApp message, the sent message shows two green ticks when it's been read.

[Floko]

I always get a " read" symbol when sending messages on FB or mobile so I know when they  have been seen

[Neveracrossword]

MooreA7, if it's a Whats'App message, your phone shows two bluck ticks when it's been read.

Abbey, there could be all sorts of reasons why your friend hasn't answered. You must have encountered this in the past, maybe even done it yourself - real life can get in the way of responding to a text!

Moorea, if it's a Whatsapp message you know the person has seen it if there are 2 blue ticks to the left

[Moorea7]

19.26 Thanks.  Don't use it!

[bednobs]

blue, black or green i wonder :)

As TCL has effectively indicated above, the device that you're using to send mssages is called a smartPHONE because it can make PHONE calls. 

Texts (and, for example, Whatsapp messages) are an excellent way of sending very basic messages (such as "Don't forget the meeting tonight") but they're a totally pathetic way of conducting any sort of relationship, whether that be 'true love' or 'simple friendship'.

STOP sending text mesages if a swift response is important to you and simply PHONE the person instead!

Check the hospitals and the morgue, I'll do traffic info. We'll get to the bottom of this.

[Floko]

Yikes Doug, such humour but hope Abbey didn't take you seriously.  😂

Abbey, did you phone her or get a reply ?  just curious

[abbeylee90]

As if I would do all that but no 

[THECORBYLOON]

Did she reply in the end?

[naomi24]

What was your message to her?

[THECORBYLOON]

You've taken twenty-four hour to respond to our initial responses.

Would it be appropriate for us to think if we had done something wrong and wonder why you hadn't replied?

[Floko]

I can't think of anything I've done...

[Tilly2]

If she's a friend, just phone her.
