What Do You Do When Your Boyfriend Ignores You?

It's difficult to know how to react when your boyfriend ignores you.

• It is probably best to try to talk to him first. There is nothing stopping you other than your pride. If he continues to ignore you, then you may want to cease further communication with him but you may also want to throw in a parting "Call me if you feel like talking again."


• Go hang out with your friends and guy friends. Make him think you don't care that he's not talking to you. Some guys like the fact that they know their girlfriend will always be waiting for them. You have your own life too so live it.


• Don't let it get into your head. Getting sad and emotional about it just lowers your appeal and may be the goal of some chauvinistic men. Be happy and smile more, then your days will not be hindered by the fact that he is ignoring you.

You may want to take a break for awhile. Turn your phone off, keep away from the computer, and just leave him alone.  This is likely to be a move by him to either find out if he can click his fingers and have you come running at his every word, or he is trying to force you into being the one to break up with him as he is too weak to just do it himself.

On the flip side, it depends how long your boyfriend has been ignoring you for.  Sometime, people just need a little bit of space.  Maybe you have seen a lot of each other recently and he just wants an evening chilling out by himself or with his friends?

Either way, as a first port of call you need to speak to him, preferably face to face if he wont answer his phone or texts, and ask him out right, "is everything ok between us?".

If you care about him, you will give him a reason to pay you more attention. Do something he wants to be a part of or that raises his curiosity. Become more exciting or catch his imagination.

If you don't care about him enough to go to this trouble, then just dump him. You aren't meant to be then.

You know the difference between a pond and a swamp ?  A pond has a free flowing exchange of water, allowing it to clear, to take in oxygen, allowing life and growth, beautiful clear water.  

When that free flowing water is cut off or cut down a great deal, it becomes a swamp, the still water is great for all that humans find annoying,  snakes, bugs, etc. 

Without the exchange of water and air, it starts to stink. 

And that's stagnation, kind of where a relationship ends up when their little to no conversation, respect or recognition of the other party or the relationship, your fooling yourself, no relationship can move forward like that and to allow it to stagnate is doing the same to your future, your life and your happiness. 

You may not be able to sense the smell yet, but you should be able to feel the death of movement, the feeling of being stuck, missing the flow that use to be.
