Dear Lindsey:

Well, that emoji that makes all the difference! A winking smiley face gives a totally different context t the words you sent him. It is a very likely possibility that he’s been communicating with a number of women at one time, being that dating apps do provide this opportunity, multiple women to communicate/flirt with. This explains a man taking breaks between texting and disappearing altogether.

Imagine little to no technology: a man meets a woman in person and she is the only woman around that he knows about. Well, he is likely to pay attention to her because it is she or no one that he knows about. Dating apps on phones being carried around everywhere and.. well, I’ve seen an elderly woman on the phone going between Senior Citizen Match. com and Plenty of Fish, back and forth.
