He told me that he wanted us to have a serious relationship, and he seemed to like me quite a bit. We continued messaging on LINE every day, and he sent me a message saying, “I’m looking forward to seeing you again.” Since we’d exchanged that kind of message several times, I eventually stopped replying.
After that, he stopped messaging me too. My birthday was coming up, so I thought he would at least send me a “Happy Birthday” message—but he didn’t.
Even though I was the one who stopped replying, would you really ignore the birthday of a woman you supposedly want to have a serious relationship with?
When I talked to my friend about it, they said, “Maybe he felt awkward messaging you on your birthday because you hadn’t replied.” What do you all think?
Based on my own informal research, a lot of older men get hurt when their messages are read but ignored.
These days, people use Instagram to communicate and get information. LINE is already outdated, and more young people don’t even check it. For some, LINE is like an inbox full of spam that they no longer bother opening.
So don’t worry about being left unread or read and ignored.
Maybe Univa should explain this when new members join and offer some social media guidance.
Personally, neither unread messages nor read-and-ignored messages bother me at all anymore. Even after being left unread, I can usually contact them normally later. That’s been my experience.

Um, isn’t it perfectly normal not to get a “Happy Birthday” LINE if you didn’t reply to the previous one? The questioner places a lot of importance on the other person being “serious,” but seriousness can’t exist on just one side.
Of course, I’m not mocking the questioner for supposedly not being serious. Not replying to the papa’s LINE wasn’t a problem. Besides, any papa who starts talking about being “serious” after only about three dates is pretty questionable himself.
Meanwhile, Osamu-kun, sitting next to me and knocking back Hoppy, is inexplicably furious, shouting, “What a stupid woman!” He was absolutely delighted just moments ago with the ultra-expensive dress shoes I gave him as an engagement present.

Does what everyone else thinks really matter?
Maybe he found it hard to reach out because you hadn’t replied, or maybe he decided that a serious relationship would be difficult with someone who doesn’t respond.
Either way, I think it’s foolish to expect anything from someone when you don’t even reply to their LINE messages.
If you have enough time to make a post like this just to kill time, you’d probably have a better chance of getting your birthday celebrated if you spent that time replying to him instead.
If you’re asking this seriously, I think you have some serious problems communicating with other people.
