Answering the question: "To the men who randomly stopped texting a girl after you used to talk to her all day, everyday - why'd you stop?", users gave their insight into what saw them go cold on relationships.

It became a one-sided conversation

“Our conversation has gotten stale and it always circled around her and the s**t that she likes to talk about, however, when it's MY turn to talk about myself and the s**t that I like to talk about, not only would the enthusiasm drop it would be followed by one word replies,” writes surnguy.

“It'd become sort of a habit, I'd contact her, she'd somehow kill the conversation or I'd have to do all the work. Happened gradually, didn't notice at first. And then came that day when the thought just popped into my head "Why are you making this effort? Why are you interested in this girl?" And I couldn't for the life of me find a decent answer,” RedAndBlackStillPlay.

Emoji overuse

“Turns out I wasn't talking to her, I was just talking to her bank of emojis,” says Wakkajabba.

“I'll only stop texting if they stop taking interest, e.g one word answers or 'haha omg emoji' you can tell they're having a better conversation with someone else,” adds DabidoZ.

He’s scared and can’t handle the idea of relationship

If we slept together after the first date I usually stop texting because I feel like if we continue sleeping together we might end up together and that scares the shit out of me," ILOVE_PIZZA.

“In my case it was because I was scared. I could tell she was into me and I was into her but I was just too scared to make the next move. Definitely don't feel good about it,” explains Hey__Victor.

They just don’t feel like texting

“I don't feel like chatting and then get guilty for not responding,” explains rossmosh85. “Then I have to come up with some excuse and I don't want to, so I avoid you.”

He’s a tightarse

Mine was a bit more practical. I switched to a prepaid phone and every text cost me $0.10 so I really needed to cut back on frivolous conversations,” writes tempmike
