Me, along with every other girl in our modern world, turns an un-returned text as a social disaster. But sometimes you need to step back and calm down because there could be any reason why he isn't texting you back.
So if you're waiting on something really important, read this list over and I'm sure he will text you by the time you finish the list- and if not then you might want to consider a different boy.
Maybe in life, it's good to have the last word, but never in texting.
