As long as this is a guy who has been promptly replying to your text messages, until this isolated incident, you should still give this guy the time of day.
Even though he left you on read for over 24 hours, don’t read too much into it.
This isn’t an indication that he doesn’t care about his relationship with you.
Something came up during that time that made him unable to reply to your message in a timely fashion.
Consider what is currently going on in his life.
Although you have a decent amount of free time on your hands, this doesn’t mean that he does.
Has he started a new job or personal project?
Does he have major family obligations that he is attending to?
A guy that is suddenly preoccupied, won’t have the time to quickly reply to a message after reading it at every instance.
Given that his schedule changed in the last few days, he requires a period of adjustment to adapt.
He was excited about reading your message but didn’t have the time to reply to it fully.
Rather than sending you a perfunctory text, he held off, thinking that he would wait until he had the time to send you a fully-fledged text message.
Unfortunately, it took him longer to reply to your message than he wanted to, but that wasn’t his intent.
Don’t forget that up until this incident, he had been promptly replying to your text messages.
Keeping this in mind, avoid getting carried away with the fact that he left you on read for over 24 hours.
In getting carried away, you choose not to give this guy the time of day, and this leads to regret.
Life happens.
A guy that has been quick to reply to your messages in the past, deserves the benefit of the doubt on this occasion.
Even though you are used to guys replying to your messages quickly, never have this expectation of every guy you date.
Hopefully, there won’t be too many moments where you are left on read for over 24 hours by this guy.
Nevertheless, it won’t be the only time, especially if he has a lot going on in his life.
It’s too soon to judge him based on this incident alone.
This is the first time he has left you on read for over 24 hours.
As aforementioned, you have a greater amount of time on your hands than he does.
Consider what his life is like and the responsibilities that he has.
It is never good to expect an instant response in every instance from someone that you are seeing.
As long as the guy is generally quick to reply to your messages, he has earned a few instances where he doesn’t reply as quickly.
