What does it mean when someone leaves you on open on Snapchat

So I was talking to this guy on Snapchat and it was going really well. Then during the week we were still talking but he’d take like 24 hours to reply. I know he has exams and that he’s probably really busy. But also he is really popular and has loads of friends that are girls so he’s also likely to be taking to them. Yesterday, I send him something and he still hasn’t opened it even though he put something on his story so I know he’s been on Snapchat. What does this mean???

Should I stop talking to him or should I just be patient?

If I was you I would just don’t send him anymore and if he send something back don’t open it yet wait 2 days and he should see how it feels 😂💞

People are busy. They probably posted on their story because they wanted to update it but didn't have the time to reply to you. Or they cba to.

If you get anxious when you are left on read for a long time and this guy does it often, then you are really not all that compatible.

No-one had replied to you in the first hour of you originally posting this question, so you reposted it? Not very patient, are you? You also sound a bit jealous saying he's probably talking to other female friends. He's allowed to do this!

It's been a day. Step away from the keyboard and find something else to occupy you for the next 48 hours. If you haven't heard anything then, leave it. If he wants to talk, he'll get in touch, but don't obsess over how long it takes. He's just a guy on Snapchat. He has exams, he has friends, he's allowed to do what he wants and prioritise his life.

Why do people make things like this so emotionally charged? "Purposefully left on read"? At least he's replying to you eventually and, you know, people don't actually have to talk to you all the time. Even my boyfriend doesn't text me 24/7 when he's on his phone doing other stuff, nor would I expect him to. You don't have the right to take up his time, if he wants to post on his story and reply to you later, he can. It doesn't actually mean he thinks any less of you. People just read way too much into these things.

He might just not be interested in the way your interested in him. He could be busy doing something else he doesn't have to replay to you if he doesn't want to. I text this guy and he leaves me on deliver but that was only 2 times. He is a very hardworking guy, he plays basketball, trains a lot, and works out most of the time. I don't think he has time for his phone, I stopped texting him and decided to worry about something else, even though he is on my mind from time to time. I try not to worry about it. He will text me one day just right now is not the time. SO if he leaves you on read or delivered, spend your time on something else, he obviously doesn't deserve you if he is trying to ignore you so much, he doesn't want anything to do with you. Don't waste your time on him cause you obviously deserve better.

Well, maybe he didn't get the message yet or maybe he is doing something else. I think you should be patient for at least a week. But if you had such a good conversation with him and everything he could also be doing this to make you want him more. A lot of boys like to do that to girls. Or he could be a a player trying to make you want him more and then ditch you, you should play him at his own game. Next time he texts you leave him on read or deliver ignore but not at the same time. Then he will know what it feels and not only that he will want to talk to more and know why your ignoring him. Be like im not ignoring im talking to you right am I not.

stalk his snap score and if it increases dramatically each day, then he is definitely talking to others and not making time for you. Also keep in mind that he could've half swiped your message (if you didn't send a snap) and maybe didn't know how to reply/might not of liked what you said? These might not be the case but it's just what I see happen very often

I would say to stop chasing the guy, and stop texting him or putting in effort , because he obviously doesn’t want anything to do with you , and he most likely doesn’t care about you or want a relationship with you . Honey you deserve better . Never Settle , there is many fish in the sea. If he ain’t putting effort into talking to to you , neither should you . PERIODDT Ignore him and don’t text him at all , because if he wanted to talk to to you he would call you or text you . He should be chasing you not you chasing him . You are the prize and are worth so much more than any guy . Take my advice and just ignore him .

This is over-dramatic, and this thread is a year old.

I'm not sure OP wants to hear your opinion either, given it's a year late. But you still decided to give it for some reason.

You posted something to an online forum. You should expect an opinion.

If he leaves you on read either he is shy and don't know what to say or he don't want to talk to you full stop.

Wow, you didn’t have to be so rude. That’s the reason why she came here, to ask for advice, so she should be allowed to do so without being criticized. You need to calm down.

i legit made a whole ass account to reply to this comment,, it really ****ed me off. even if it’s a year late someone with the same issue (me for example) could be looking for this answer. idc if you said this 5 months ago personally, her comment was very helpful.

A poster bumped an old thread to express their opinion on the subject, and then when criticised over the content and timing of their post responded by rudely proclaiming that "no one asked for your opinion". I stand by my comment.

Now we should stop bumping old threads with posts that add nothing to the conversation.

hi if he is popular he prolly has other friends and your snap was at the bottom is his snap
