Q / The guy I’ m hooking up with is constantly on Snapchat and Insta but ignores my texts. He Likes my pics and views my Stories, even when he hasn’ t yet replied to a text I’ ve sent him! He’ s clearly on his phone 24 / 7. What’ s the deal?
A When in doubt, remember that most guys are just too lazy to play games. He can double-tap a photo without even thinking about it, but

texting? He has to decide what to message and then he has to type it with two whole thumbs! If you’ re happy just hooking up with this dude and he treats you well, don’ t read too much into it. But
if his delayed replying bothers you that much, tell him you deserve some small amount of effort, even if it’ s just a message that says,“ Busy now, will text later.…” If he won’ t agree to do that and only wants to communicate on his terms, then maybe you’ re the one who shouldn’ t text back.
Q / MY BOY-
FRIEND’ S BEST
FRIEND IS
HANDSY, ESPE-
CIALLY WHEN
HE DRINKS. I
DON’ T WANT TO
MESS WITH
THEIR FRIEND-
SHIP, BUT IT’ S
ANNOYING AND
SLEAZY. HOW
DO I ADDRESS
THIS WITHOUT
DRAMA?
A Most guys prize loyalty. We tend to stick up for our buddies and are blind to their faults. If you
accuse his pal of shady motives, your BF may get defensive and blow off your complaint. So stick to the facts, which he can’ t argue:“ Have you noticed your buddy gets handsy when he’ s drunk? It makes me uncomfortable. Can you talk to him?”
