few things are as powerful as silence. Ignoring a text isn’t just a passive move—it’s a calculated strategy that can shift the entire dynamic between you and the person you’re texting.
But here’s the catch: knowing when and how to ignore a message can make or break your connection.
Why Ignoring a Text Can Work in Your Favor
When Silence Backfires
Ignoring too often makes you seem disinterested or manipulative.
The wrong person might match your energy and stop texting altogether.
You could miss an opportunity to escalate the connection at the right moment.
How to Use the Art of Ignoring Like a Pro
Delay with Purpose – Don’t respond instantly to every message. Make them wait, but not too long.
Stay Busy (Or Look Like You Are) – A life filled with fun and adventure makes you more attractive.
Know When to Re-engage – Once curiosity is sparked, pull them back in with a well-timed, engaging reply.
