They haven't texted in two weeks: should I text?
Short answer
Once, without pressure
After two weeks, a light, friendly message is ok if you still want to see them. Don't mention the silence or ask why. Their reply (or lack of one) will tell you where you stand. If you don't hear back, move on with a clear head.
Why this happens
After two weeks, both people often assume the other lost interest. A light message can clear that up quickly, one way or the other.
It depends on
- Who texted last
- How things were before the silence
- Whether you're still interested yourself
What you could send
- Hey stranger! How have you been?
- Just saw [something] and thought of you 😄
- Long time! Fancy catching up over a drink?
