If your boyfriend does not text you back then the first thing to do is not jump to any conclusions. Try not to let any insecurities you have make you overreact and do give him the benefit of the doubt. Males are not renowned for their ability to keep in contact regularly and often it is nothing personal, it is just in their nature. Often men prefer to speak either via a phone call or face to face. If he hasn't replied to your texts for a couple of days, trying phoning him and see if he will pick up. Sometimes, with anyone, if you text them and they have their hands busy they may simply forget to text you back. Normally a phone call or a missed call implies that you wanted to speak to them directly and can signal a more pressing need for them to contact you back.

How long have you and your boyfriend been in a relationship for? If you are still in the early stages of your relationship then it could be that he is still adjusting from single life and hasn't quite got used to the idea of being in more regular contact with someone. If you and your boyfriend have been in a relationship long term then he could just feel as though you speak regularly enough. Either way you should be able to talk to him if his lack of contact is upsetting you. Try speaking to him face to face and explain that you would like it if he could be more reliable with his contact. Give your boyfriend time to express why he thinks he doesn't text you back and the two of you should be able to come to some sort of compromise. Rather than text numerous times a day you could limit it to one phone call a day or every two days.

I would say send two text messages. You don't want to seem like you're obsessed with him right? So send one saying "Hey" or "Hey baby" or whatever, and once he doesn't reply, say "Hey, are you there? Text me when you get this:)" So it doesn't seem like you're going crazy. He is probably busy, and the next time you see him, ask him about it.

Ok, so when your bf doesn't text you back, you don't want 2 sound desperate. Texting him things like'Where have you been?' or 'y don't you text me back' makes you sound worried. He may be doing it so that you will seem like you would b worried or sad about him not texting you, but if you don't pay attention to it, he will probably end up texting you to get attention or start a flirtation.    If it turns out that he really isn't texting you because he doesn't like you anymore, I'm really sorry. All you have to do is act strong. Try to get your relationship back together, and if you break up with him I the end, act like you don't care. Boys gets confident boosts when girls are crying over them. If you act like you won't care, he will lose some confidence, and who knows, he might get back together with you. If he doesn't and he gets another gf, don't worry. You r both happy, rite? And if he wasnt texting you in the first place because he didn't like you, then you weren't meant 2 b. Its no big deal. Shake it off, and start the day feeling relieved. Not regretful.

If he usually reply this instant and this time he doesn't, then try calling him..if he avoids your calls then give it a little time, maybe a day or two to see if he will reply...do not jump to negative conclusions..

If your boyfriend doesn't text back then first of all I would give him the benefit of the doubt and think he is busy and cannot be disturbed. I would perhaps text two or three messages - after that I would wait for him to contact me. If he has not heard from you then I would expect him if he was interested to try and contact you. If he still doesnt contact you then I feel he is losing interest and perhaps you should consider looking elsewhere.
