Why won't this girl respond to my Facebook messages?

[Raindomize]

Hello everyone. This is a long post, so read if you wish and if you do, please help me out!

So there's this girl I like and I try to chat her on Facebook, but she won't respond.

Here's the story:
This girl and I go to the same school and we're in the same grade. We finish our finals, and now we're on break.
I get on Facebook and I ask her (through chat) how her break has been and she said that she's doing fine. Then she asks me how I'm doing, which obviously means she expects a reply right? So I respond, telling her that I'm doing fine as well. The funny thing is though, she doesn't see or respond to that message despite obviously asking for an answer. You know the Facebook "seen" feature? Well there's no sign that she's "seen" my response even though she's asked me a question.

So I wait a few days and then ask her a question. There's no sign that she's "seen" that message either! On top of that though, she has been posting stuff and she has been showing signs of recent activity (e.g. liking and commenting on statuses and photos, "checking in" with apps, etc.), so I'm wondering why the heck she hasn't responded, much less "seen" my messages!

I'm tempted to ask her another question, or at least do something to get her attention, but I don't want to be viewed as needy or desperate.

I hear that the Yahoo! community is nice, and hopefully whoever's reading this can give me some nice feedback.

Thank you in advance!
I forgot to mention. I think she has a boyfriend but I'm not sure. It says on Facebook that she's in a relationship with someone, but his name is unfamiliar and:
1. He's not from our school.
2. He's probably living in the U.S.
3. I'm not sure if the girl is all that connected/close to him.
4. On that guy's Facebook page, it doesn't say he's in a relationship with her.

I only heard his name mentioned on one occasion, and that was when a friend of the girl I like mentioned that the girl I like should see her "boyfriend" when he comes here.

I honestly think that she didnt really expect an answer for you. She probably asked you the question back to just be polite. To her chatting with you might not have been that important and wants to enjoy her holiday. So just chill and wait around and see!

Hey there,

There are infinite possibilities as to why she didn't read or reply to your message, so lets look at a list of the most plausible ones:

a) You might not talk to her enough in person for her to feel comfortable having a Facebook conversation. She might (rightly) fear that it will be awkward seeing you in person and not saying much by comparison to having in depth chat online.

b) She might be busy, lazy or just not interested in the conversation. Don't take this offensively. Do you always respond to texts right away? Do you always feel like furthering conversations?

c) She might care about her boyfriend (if she has one) more than you think. Some people just don't change their relationship statuses or post public displays of affection on the internet. If he is possessive or has trust issues, he probably wouldn't want her talking to another male, especially if she has any idea that you like her.

What are your options?
Well here are some reasonable ones:

a) Make plans to meet up in a social group with mutual friends. This way, you can interact in person and establish whether or not she is interested.

b) Wait and see. This does not mean Facebook stalking her or constantly checking if she has seen the message. This means going out with friends and meeting new people. You might even meet a girl who is more interested, but whatever you do, don't obsess over the other one.

c) Forget about her. This is similar to option b). Spend your time exploring, gaining life experiences and having fun rather than waiting for some girl to respond to your message. Pour your energy into your hobbies and better your skills. Exercise, read, and work on your life's direction. If she does answer, it'll just be a bonus to a situation you have turned positive and used to grow.

Good luck
