This blog is packed with funny responses to someone who doesn’t text back—perfect for friends, crushes, or group chats. These 50 zingers will keep your vibe chill and your humor on point. Get ready to turn ghosting into giggling! 😎
What Does Someone Doesn’t Text Back Mean?
Someone doesn’t text back means they read your message (or didn’t) and just… vanish. For example, your friend sees your “What’s up?” but stays silent for hours. It happens—busy life, forgotten phone, or lazy thumbs. It’s casual in friendships or dating, but repeated ghosting can sting.
So, use these funny replies to poke gently and restart the chat. However, skip them if it’s serious or they’re upset. 😅 Keep it light to show you’re cool and witty!
