6. Recognize when it’s time to stop.
If you’ve had some back and forth banter and then, out of nowhere, the recipient stops responding, let it go. If you text, “Why did you stop messaging?” “Where did you go?” or “Why did you leave me high and dry?” you not only come off looking desperate, but a bit aggressive, too.
When trying to keep someone interested, know that the power lies with the one who ends the conversation first. Just like you wouldn’t overstay your welcome at a party or event, get out of the conversation when you no longer have much to say or it’s starting to drag on.
