One read, normally responsive
Do nothing
A single read from someone usually engaged is just life. Resist the urge to send a follow-up that hands him your anxiety.
Private dating wingman
How do you respond when he leaves you on read? Usually: don't chase the silence.
The reply to being left on read matters more than the read itself. Tell me the situation and I'll help you respond.

REAL DECODES
Left on read, your move.
You want to follow up
Wait, then go light
If you re-engage, do it later and breezy — never 'why'd you leave me on read.' Don't make the silence the subject.
It's a repeated thing
Match his energy
Stop over-investing in someone who routinely parks you. Let your effort mirror his — that's not a game, it's self-respect.
You're anxious and want to double text
Sit on your hands
An anxious second text rarely helps. Step away, do something for you, and decide later from a calmer place.

FAQ
More about being left on read.
What should I do when he leaves me on read?
Most of the time, nothing — don't chase silence with an anxious follow-up. If you re-engage, do it later and light, never about the read itself. DearHim can help you respond with your value intact.
Should I leave him on read back?
Pettiness isn't the goal, but you also shouldn't reward being parked with instant availability. Match real energy, don't perform a game.
How long should I wait to text again?
If it's worth re-opening, give it at least a day and keep it casual. If being left on read is a habit, the bigger question is whether to keep investing.
