Maybe not having an answer may seem like no big deal — but the truth is, that silence carries a lot of weight. Not having an answer may seem harmless, but it’s sending you a compelling message. And it’s good not to ignore that sign.

No answer is also an answer.

Often in a relationship, when you usually expect an answer and don’t get it, you know something is wrong. You know something doesn’t feel right anymore because something is out of place.

Just because you’re not getting a response doesn’t mean a message isn’t being sent to you. Not having an answer is also an answer. In many cases, it’s a sign that things are getting worse.

When a person leaves you unanswered, it doesn’t mean they think you don’t deserve an answer. It means that she doesn’t want to waste time with you and that she doesn’t want to have any more conversations with you.

And without saying anything, she is saying a lot. By not saying anything, she is essentially telling you that she no longer trusts you with her feelings. She no longer feels like telling you about the essential things that are happening in her life.

This means that she is slowly trying to distance herself from you because she is no longer comfortable opening up to you. And even if she’s not opening up to you about her feelings, she’s still saying a lot about how she feels.

It’s very difficult when all you want to give someone is love but all you get in return is silence.

When a person remains silent, it means that person is going through many things; but, she prefers to go through everything without you.

Whether she’s going through good times or bad, she’s choosing to go through it on her own. She is choosing to face life alone. She doesn’t want to include you anymore, which is why she’s not guaranteeing any answers. She chose solitude over you. And that must say a lot about how she feels about you.

How to deal with this lack of response?

Of course, you could also argue that silence can mean many things. And you are right. But at the end of the day, you will have to face the truth.

A person who loves you will never give you silence for an answer. She will never let you down, as she knows that no answer is a very clear answer.

A person who loves you will always give you an objective answer. So when it seems like all your efforts are falling on deaf ears, you probably already know what’s going on.

Love no longer exists.

Because love will always guarantee some answer. Love is never silent. Love never ignores you. Love is not something you have to wrest from a person.

When your attempts to love someone are not reciprocated, it means that love no longer exists.
