facebook question

Post Reply New Topic

currently on facebook, when someone receives a message from you, it says 'last seen + timestamp'. my question is this: if you dont think someone knows about this, should you tell them? i feel kinda off kilter (for lack of a better word) at the moment because i asked this girl that i like if she wanted to talk tonight. i saw that she saw my message, and its been quite some time. i really dont mind that she doesnt want to talk right now, its really no big deal, i just think its kinda rude to see someones message to you, asking a simple question, then just ignoring it like you never received it. so what should i do? should i just let it be? or should i address it in some way?

as much as i'd like to say:

"last seen: timestamp" to let her know i saw that she saw my message, this absolutely cannot be the optimal thing to do.

advice would be appreciated!

no. don't make an issue out of it with her.

let's say you do hint her that she didnt respond, and she already knows this, what good will it acheive?

If you're convinced she seen it the logical explanation is she ignored it. Is it rude? Absolutely. Does she have to explain it? Absolutely not. Chances are if you confront her she will either A. deny it, B. tell you off, or C. ignore you again.

Based on personal experiences of a similar context I would advise that you find someone else who will make time for you, they're much more deserving of your efforts.

thanks for the tips! makes sense

Don't mention the timestamp. If it popped up in the chat box it's going to look like she read it even if she didn't. Time s**t is creepy, don't mention it. Act like you didn't notice.

If she's a pretty girl with lots of friends, your message was just one among dozens. Don't take it too personally.

Not only that time stamp thing creepy, I don't think it is reliable either. I think all it means is that message was fully visible on the facebook screen, that doesn't necessary mean they saw it.

It's not 100% reliable. I've left messenger signed in one computer while I was out of the house.

That said, if she constantly says reading but not replying, move on.

If she is an NT, it's pretty obvious she's not going to respond but she'll look just to see what you put.
Most of the time, people like that aren't interested, harsh but true.

I do mention that sometimes and it never ends well but always gives a humorous situation for me personally.

If you like the girl don't mention anything about, it'll always make you come across as the creepy guy.
