When to Stop Texting a Girl: The 11 Key Signs

There’s nothing worse than texting a girl and waiting for a response that never comes.

Trying to engage someone in conversation and that person does not respond well can feel like a letdown.

But there are ways to tell whether she’s interested in staying in contact with you.

This is a guide to help you recognize when it’s time to stop texting with a woman.

How to know when it’s time to stop texting a girl:

---

1) She doesn’t respond to your texts.

It happens to the best of us. 

She may be busy with school or work and want to focus on those things rather than texting.

It could also mean that she doesn’t like you enough to respond!

The only way to find out is to ask her on an actual date.

Try to meet up with her and see if she’s interested in spending time with you. If not, move on!

2) She’s Not Emotionally Stable

If she breaks down crying in the middle of a conversation or gets angry for no reason, it could say she’s unstable.

An emotionally stable woman can handle her feelings and emotions without losing control.

If unstable, she may be a danger to herself and others. It could also mean she has some serious issues that must be addressed.

In my experience, most of the time happens with young girls.

A mature woman can handle her emotions; a young girl is still figuring it all out.

A woman with her life together doesn’t tear up over something minor.

Disclaimer: You never know what that person might be going through, so you should treat every person with respect. Use common sense, she needs help, or she’s too young?

This is a delicate topic because it’s hard to tell whether a woman is emotionally stable. If you’re unsure about her, ask her friends and family.

• See if they have any insight into whether she has issues with stability.
• If she’s young, you must accept that many of her habits and behavior may be bratty. You can’t force someone to grow up; they must do it independently.

You should focus on dating someone your age or with more life experience.

3) She never initiates text conversations with you.

In the early stages of a relationship, it can take time to tell if someone likes you.

If you like someone, it can seem natural to start conversations with them. But if the other person isn’t doing the same with you, they probably aren’t interested in dating you.

If a person seems disinterested, you may wonder if they are out of your league or not interested in dating.

If she is always busy and seems to disappear whenever you want to meet up, then chances are she’s not into you.

If a girl is interested in you, she will make time to hang out.

She will call or text when she says she will and show up on time for dates.

If this girl isn’t doing any of these things, chances are good that she’s not into you.

4) She’s always canceling plans with you.

When a girl is interested in you, then she will find a way to make plans with you. She will be willing to rearrange her schedule and do whatever it takes to hang out with you.

If she makes excuses for why she can’t hang out with you, chances are good that she’s not interested.

Don’t waste your time and effort on girls who don’t care about you.

If you want to find out if a girl is interested in being more than friends, then pay attention to her body language.

If a girl is giving you signs that she’s not interested in you, it’s okay to move on and find someone who does.

Don’t try and force her. If you try to force her into agreeing with your plans, then she’ll see that as a sign of weakness.

5) She’s always talking about someone else.

If she’s always talking about other men and comparing them to you, there’s a good chance she won’t be happy with you.

This might be because of something you’re doing, or it could mean she has higher standards than you.

Or she could be bored with her life and looking for excitement, so she talks about other people.

If she frequently criticizes others, she may struggle with feelings of inadequacy.

This may mean she is jealous and can’t stand the thought of you being with another woman.

If she acts jealous, it’s unhealthy, and it means she has issues with insecurity.

6) She’s never satisfied.

If you spend a lot of time trying to make a woman happy, she may have unrealistic expectations.

This is something you can change. If this bothers you, it’s time for you to talk about what matters in a relationship.

In a toxic relationship, one person is never satisfied.

You don’t want to be in one where the other person can’t appreciate all that’s good about you.

If your partner always wants to do new things or go to new places, she may be bored.

Are you dating someone who is never satisfied? If so, this will be a constant source of frustration in your relationship.

Save yourself pain and struggles, and stop texting her!

7) She’s Playing Games

When someone doesn’t commit to their true feelings, it can be difficult to tell what they want.

Ask yourself the following questions to understand whether this behavior is happening:

• Does she seem interested?
• Do I feel good around her?
• Is there any doubt left?

If the answer to these questions is yes, then chances are good that she’s not stringing you along.

The problem may be that she’s afraid of commitment, she’s not ready for a relationship yet, or she is just a bea**.

Yet, there’s reason to worry if the answer to all three questions is no.

However, if you answer yes to these questions, it’s time for a reality check.

8) You are Getting into a Toxic Relationship

If your relationship is toxic, it’s time to move on. Unhealthy relationships are draining and usually not good for your health or self-esteem.

Something is wrong if you feel drained after spending time with your partner.

It’s important to recognize when this happens so you can make the necessary changes to be happy again.

What are some things that these women do?

• This type of girl tends to screen many guys, so they may disappear and reappear in your life as if nothing happens.
• They are usually girls that are not easy to get, have a lot of options, and can be pretty superficial.
• They believe they’re special, but there’s nothing exceptional about them.

If you date someone like this, you will likely feel like you have become a disposable commodity.

This type of girl will likely have a lot of drama in her life, and you will be dragged into it if you are dating one of them.

• They tend to be very needy and expect you to meet their needs above yours.
• They are masters of manipulation and will suck you dry if given a chance.

If you let this type of girl into your life, she will try to control every aspect.

She is self-centered and does not care about what you want or need.

She is a master at making others feel guilty for not meeting expectations that they have set up in their head.

You know what to do; run as fast as you can.

9) She may be testing you.

These girls may use texting as a way to weed out potential partners.

She will reward you with affection and interest if she considers you a suitable mate. If not…well, then it’s time for her to move on!

Don’t panic if a woman stops communicating or disappears entirely from your life, don’t panic.

It could be that she’s trying to get a sense of your intentions before giving you an answer.

10) The girl you’re texting replies with one-word answers.

If she gives short, one-word answers, it’s probably time to stop texting. If you can tell she isn’t interested, don’t keep trying.

There’s no point in drawing out the conversation for your ego. 

If she’s not into you, it’s better to know immediately.

She’ll tell you if she likes you by being more open and fun.

You can try a different approach using open questions instead of closed ones.

Closed questions can be answered with a simple yes or no, like “Do you want to hang out?”

Instead, ask open-ended questions like “What do you think about our town’s new mayor?”

This will give her more room to talk and feel comfortable around you.

11) The girl you’re texting takes longer and longer to reply.

If a girl is interested in you, she will quickly respond to your messages.

This can be as little as 10 minutes or even less. 

If she takes longer and longer to reply, it means she is uninterested in you.

She could be testing you to see if you will chase her.

If a girl takes more than an hour or two to reply, it’s clear that she wants to make you feel bad by making herself feel good.

She doesn’t care about your feeling; she wants attention and validation.

You deserve better than this nonsense. Find someone who appreciates you!

How to stop texting a girl so much? The dangers of over-texting

Here are a few reasons why over-texting is not a good idea:

Over-texting can make you come across as Needy.

If she doesn’t respond to your texts as you want her to, there may be an underlying reason.

Maybe she’s busy and unable to text then, or she isn’t interested in talking with you anymore.

It is time for self-reflection if she makes excuses for not talking on the phone or seeing you in person.

Texting a girl too much is like playing with fire:

If someone sent me fifty messages daily, I’d get annoyed.

Texting a girl daily may be tempting, but remember, she has a life outside you. If she wants to talk with you, then great!

Don’t take it personally if she doesn’t respond to your messages or invitations.

The best way to prevent it from becoming annoying is by keeping your messages short and sweet.
