    Hi,
    Well, I met a girl online a few months ago. She asked me for my number and since then we've been texting each other every week or so.
    Now, because of college and work we haven't had the chance to meet up but we have agreed to it. She hasn't replied to my last few texts, so I was just wondering if I should just ring her or just let it be (she's lost interest or met someone else)?

    Personally, I'd leave it be. Unless she's fallen under a bus or something, she's received your texts and she's not seen fit to reply to them.

    Whats the harm in ringing maybe she's lost her phone or something you don't even if the msgs have been recieved, do you? Nothing ventured nothing gained. If it does ring and she doesn't wanna talk at least you know where you stand. But just let it be a once off!

    I'd leave it be. The pace really needs to be quicker in the online world, a couple of months of weekly texting... its likely she has assumed you are not interested and moved on.

    There could be a ton of reasons why she hasn't got back to you, incl lost phone etc. I suggest ring and leave message of she's not there.

    Or get in touch online where you first met?

    How long did you leave it between texts and how many did you send?

    Personally speaking,if it was 3 or more texts over the course of a week or so I would leave it be.

    Youve tried a couple of times so I wouldnt bother unless she gets back to you.

    I'd drop it man. Dont go and make a fool of yourself.

    I asked a girl i know out by text...no reply. But when i txt her asking how is she, bingo! Reply!

    Some times girls just want to wreck our heads and dodge uncomfortable situations instead of just telling us blunt.

    Well it was 3 texts in 5 days. I don't get it, she usually always replies and I never said anything out of the ordinary to upset her.

    Well if she has always gotten back to you in the past then I would leave it.

    Thats just me.

    It depends on how much you want to check her out.

    Walk away if you are easily put off and can't be bothered doing anything about it.

    On the other hand if you like her and want to see if she is worth it then CALL her !!

    What exactly do you have to lose ? Because I just don't see any downside here ....

    All the best

    If you called her you did the RIGHT THING.

    It's not about 6th sense..... it's about how much want someone. If you called then you proved you have bottle and you care.

    All the best next time !

    Girls don't want you to text they want you to ring to ask them out. Full Stop
    Ring her. If you get her message minder leave a nice message if you don't hear back with 24 hrs run.
