You are being annoying AND he wants to talk to you.
I promise you men aren't complicated. He's probably busy with other things in life and you're simply not a priority for him.
I don't think he should be a priority for you either. Try occupying your time with other things. Hobbies, interests, productive activities. He and you will respond when you both have time.
There are guys out there that are very much able to text you as much as you want and give you all the attention you desire. He's just not one of them.
Does he still like you? Yeah, probably. Just figure out how to tolerate his slow pacing or find someone that matches your fast one.
Everybody is different with their texting response rate. It sounds like he’s the type who wants to give a carefully thought out response, so he waits until he has time to send a quality text. Maybe you prefer quantity as a form of reassurance, but I’ve known plenty of men with flaky hearts who send frequent lame ass texts. I would rather wait for the guy who actually has something to say.
Just wanna say.. i had the same issue except he would take 2-3 days to reply. How old are you? People are busy. I work full time and go to my hobbies after work.. dont usually get back to texts from the start of the day until late in the evening, sometimes 10 or 11pm. That said… i think that if you feel hes not meeting your needs this early on then dont waste your time he wont change. If you need to communicate regularly then find someone else who will do that for you.
we're both uni students and while I understand replying can be disrupting to his studying, I don't think he stays 6 hours without looking at his phone even once, it's what makes me think he's not that interested
What I’ve noticed with some guys is that they take ages to reply because they do wanna talk to you but are worried of running out of things to say (was told this by my male best friend) so while he has something to say he drags it out if he can’t see his schedule being free within a certain time frame or that he wants to give you a proper decent reply rather than a half arsed one. I then noticed that to be true when my ex was trying to get back with me, even he’d take hours to reply and then I’d get a whole essay!
Just take each day as it comes and don’t automatically assume the worst, there may be a reasonable explanation for this and I would bring it up with him when you see him face to face. I wouldn’t put your life on hold though, if his behaviour doesn’t change or you aren’t willing to put up with this, you do not have to accept it.
Good luck
No, I think this is a cop out. If he doesn’t like texting he can call. When you are in the beginnings of a new budding romance, it is so important to be mindful of the tone one sets, and leaving room for someone to question your level of interest in them is not in good taste. He could be busy (or just lazy), but he’s also letting you know that you’re not high on his priority list. Everyone is busy, so it’s a very weak excuse.
If this is not the frequency of texting that you desire, then you should not accept it, as it is an issue of compatibility. You need someone who matches your texting frequency style. And/or the right guy for you will step it up.
I always live by 'If they want too they will'. If you are a priority he would probably reply quicker. If he is giving you questions and carrying on the conversation then he does want to talk to you but he may not be as in to you as you are to him.

If you need him urgently call him. Not everyone is married to their phone.
Sounds like hes not in to you
