A guy I am talking to takes forever responding to my texts. Is he really that busy? Or is he playing games with me?

This is an age-old strategy that men who watch Red Pill Content on YouTube will use in order to appear less interested than they really are.
One of the main reasons why women lose interest in men – according to dating coaches and Red Pilled content creators – is that men act too “needy”; they make themselves too available, and by acting this way, they subconsciously display that they have little to no options with women.
If he is only texting you back and forth yet not planning dates, this would be a great indicator that he has no romantic interest in you, instead, he only sees you as a texting buddy; someone good for engaging in meaningless conversation with while he waits for the woman he really likes to respond to his texts.
Here is the good news: He still likes you if he is planning dates.
There is a term in the dating community called Sexual Market Value (SMV), and a man’s SMV is primarily determined by the caliber of women he dates.
A man never wants to be seen in public with a woman that could tarnish his sexual market value, therefore, if the two of you are going out together, there is some level of interest.
A man also never wants to waste his time with a woman he does not like. Every second a man spends with a woman he is not serious about is one less second he has to pursue a woman whom he actually has genuine interest in.
While continuing to plan dates is a good indicator of interest, you still need to be aware of what his true intentions may be.
If he is only interested in sex, he will continue planning dates until the two of you become intimate. How much longer he will continue dating you from this point on depends on factors such as how many other women he is dating, as well as the sexual chemistry between you and him.
If you are seeking a serious relationship, continue dating him while determining whether or not he is looking for the same. Here are several questions you can use as guidelines in order to gauge whether this man may indeed be someone worth settling down with:
  • Have you met any of his friends and family?
  • Are the dates romantic? Or is he inviting you straight to his place?
  • Does he ever mention a serious relationship, living together, children?
Also keep in mind that interest levels vary. As mentioned earlier, he could be dating other women even though he is still planning dates with you.
Planning dates means he has some level of interest in you, it does not, however, guarantee that you are the woman he has the most interest in.
He could continue dating you, introduce you to his friends and family, talk about a house, cars, kids, and a white picket fence… all to three months later leave you for another woman.
Since he is taking a while to respond to you, you need to return the favor and take a while responding to him.
This man has you to the point where you are online searching for advice, trying to find out whether he likes you or not.
I guarantee that if you start waiting just as long or longer to respond to his texts as he is to yours, he will end up being the one searching online for answers, trying to determine whether you like him, or if you are the one playing games.
I know this sounds immature, but in the age of the Passport Bros, where we have men going overseas looking for companionship, and countless YouTube channels telling men to follow rules such as blocking a woman’s phone number over the most trivial matters, do not be surprised if you begin noticing men display this type of behavior more often.
Welcome to modern dating.
