This allows them the time and space to approach the text and answer it when they are ready or available. I spoke with Anita Chlipala, licensed marriage and family therapist and author of First Comes Us: The Busy Couple’s Guide to Lasting Love, to get a better understanding of what's really going on when we leave people on read.Ĭhlipala says that some people leave their read receipts off for the very purpose of not wanting to respond right away. Why do I always procrastinate such a simple task with someone I actually want to talk to? But I still find myself wondering why I can't get myself to text back right away. Hours, and sometimes even a day, later, I realize I never actually responded and quickly text, "So sorry! Crazy day!" I carefully look at the memes, the funny videos, or the long paragraphs my bestie has sent, and then put my phone down. I hear my phone vibrate against my dresser when I'm getting ready in the morning, and instantly rush over to see who texted me and why. You're aware that they can see your read receipts, but you wait to respond regardless. But you wait and respond to each message with a lot less urgency, apologizing for the delays.
They respond to each of your messages in a timely manner. You're talking about your favorite restaurants in the city and what shows you're currently streaming. Imagine this: You're laying in bed on a Saturday afternoon and texting your crush.
