Sometimes she takes long to reply, but she always does

[Alostor]

Hi all,

I've had a crush on this girl for years, and a couple of months ago, I started a conversation over Facebook with her. We chat nice, she sends me funny photos and I do the same, we joke and discuss things we both find interesting. The only problem is that sometimes she takes really long to respond. As in, a whole day long. After that time her respond will continue the topic, and sometimes we will chat more, sometimes less. Then it goes again. A 12-24 hour period before she finally responds. I have noticed her coming online quite often and staying for at least a couple of minutes, so she must know that I've sent her a message.

I am 20, and she is (almost) 18. I know she is not too bussy during the day to reply to a simple message, and since she comes online at least a couple of times and does not answer, the only two reasons she does not write back that I can think of are: either she is not interested in me, or she is playing hard to get?

I would really like to hear about someone else's experience on this matter!

I think she is playing some sort of game. It isn't worth it for her to play a mind game with you!

We can't tell you what's going on - either of your guesses are possible. What's she like when you see her in person? This is where you'll find the answer.

If you aren't seeing her in person, then ask her on a date. But stop messing about on the computer.

Maybe she's busy reponding to her other friends or just run out of what to say to you. Doesnt seem like she's playing game. It seems quite normal. Sometimes me and my friends take long to reply to eachother. Or just end the message without any reason. Why not ask how she's doing. Eaither in person or just a little message on her board/inbox.

She has a life outside of sitting at a computer and you two aren't dating so she probably thinks what does it matter how long it takes to get back to you or anyone else as long as she does.
