Why Your Texts Don’t Get Replies (And How to Fix It)

Why Your Texts Don’t Get Replies (And How to Fix It)

Hey,

Ever sent a text… and got nothing but silence in return?

You check your phone. No reply. You wait. Still nothing.

So you send a follow-up. Maybe something “casual” like:
👉 “Hey, did you get my last text?”
👉 “Guess you’re busy lol.”
👉 “Are you mad at me?”

And guess what? That second text just made it worse.

Why She’s Not Responding

Most guys think texting is about the words they send. It’s not. It’s about how those words make her feel.

If your texts feel:
🚫 Needy (“Hey, why aren’t you answering?”)
🚫 Boring (“How’s your day?”)
🚫 Overly available (Texting instantly every time she replies)

Then you’re giving her zero emotional spark.

How to Fix It

Here’s the truth: Texting should create anticipation, not obligation.

Instead of predictable, dull texts… send something she actually wants to reply to.

Best part? Morning Brew’s newsletter is completely free. Sign up in just 10 seconds and if you realize that you prefer long, dense, and boring business news—you can always go back to it.

Texts That Get Responses

 Tease her playfully
👉 “You strike me as the type to put pineapple on pizza. Be honest.”
👉 “You look like trouble. Should I be concerned?”

 Spark curiosity
👉 “Okay, so something hilarious just happened to me… but I’m not sure if I should tell you.”
👉 “I just found out something about you that blew my mind. Any guesses?”

 Be unpredictable
Instead of “Hey, how are you?” (which she’s seen a thousand times), try:
👉 “On a scale from 1 to ‘I should be worried,’ how’s your day going?”
👉 “You have exactly 5 minutes to convince me you’re not boring. Go.”

Bonus Rule: Keep It Light

Most guys try to “prove” their worth over text. They send long paragraphs, overshare, or act too serious too soon.

Instead? Make her smile. Make her curious. Make her feel something.

THAT’S what gets replies.

Text smart,
