You’ve been see this guy or girl for a few weeks and things started off great. You talk all the time and text constantly.  A few more weeks go by, you talk less but you’re okay with that – both of you are adults who work and have your own friends and family. It’s been a month and the conversation has come to a halt. You try to meet up or set dates but you get nothing in return but a “How are you?” or “I’m fine.”

Now you’re left wondering what happened, was it something you said? Are they going through something and would rather be left alone? Should you attempt to contact them again?

Give the person some space, if they felt the same connection you did then they’ll message you.  If you receive that “I’m fine” text respond with “You don’t seem fine, is everything truly okay? I understand if you don’t want to talk about it, I was just worried that’s all.”

With this at least all your cards on the table and it’s up to them. Either they’ll apologize for the silence and example what’s wrong or the guy/girl won’t answer you and you can move on.
