If a guy keeps blowing you off, it’s hard to know what to do. Do you text and ask what’s up, or do you just wait until he gives you a good explanation? Your best move is to focus on self-respect and strong boundaries. We’ll walk you through how to stay calm when you communicate with him. Try out these tips to empower yourself and tell him you know your worth.
Things You Should Know
- Ask if he’s still interested in talking to you with a quick text like, “Hey, I haven’t heard from you in a while. Do you still want to hang out?”
- Set boundaries and communicate them to him. If you can’t be with someone who’s blowing you off, text him that you need somebody who’s more available.
- Understand that him blowing you off has nothing to do with you. Focus on self-care, hang out with friends, and remember how amazing you are.
