“He stopped sending me emails, what do I do now?” In this technology-driven age we live in, that’s a very common dating question. Many of us communicate with the man in our lives through text messages or email. It’s convenient, unobtrusive, and leaves us with a tangible and lasting account of all the things we’ve talked about. But what if that communication suddenly stops? What if he no longer responds to his emails and doesn’t respond when you text or call him?
There are a few reasons why they may have stopped emailing you. One is that it has actually gotten very busy. Although men tend to use work as an excuse when their interest in a woman starts to wane, don’t jump to that conclusion right away. Actually, he may be buried under the job. If you think this is the case, give him a quick call to see how the job is going. You will be able to tell by the sound of his voice if he is overwhelmed by it.
Another more common reason why men stop emailing is because they are testing you. Men are a lot like us in that they want to know what’s going on with your heart. Want to gauge your level of interest, and what better way to do that than by trying it out? He may have suddenly stopped emailing you just to see how you react. You may find this a bit manipulative, but in the world of dating, almost anything gets done.
If you think he’s actually testing you to see if you’re as interested in him as he is in you, be careful how you proceed. If you’re too upset by the fact that he stopped emailing you, it will catch him off guard and he won’t find you so attractive after all. Too strong a reaction suggests that you fell in love with him too quickly. In his mind, if you’re that head over heels for him so soon, you’re likely to feel the same things about every guy you date. That is not attractive to any man.
On the other hand, if he stopped emailing or texting you and you don’t react at all, that sends him a completely different message. That reaction suggests that you are interested, but not to the point of being obsessed with him. He’ll start to worry a bit about whether you’re going to chase him down, and if you don’t, he’ll not only start emailing you again, but he’ll also call more often.
