Dear Tessa, the guy I’m talking to told me he was “too busy to text” but then I saw him active on TikTok. He even posted a video during the time he said he was slammed. Am I overreacting?

Yea babe, you’re not overreacting, you’re just catching him in 4K. Let’s be real: no one is too busy to send a text, especially when they’ve got time to lip-sync to Drake on TikTok. What he really meant was: “I wasn’t too busy, I just wasn’t prioritizing you.” Ouch, but true.
Here’s the thing, people make time for what matters. If he can scroll, post, and thirst-trap on the internet, then he could’ve carved out 10 seconds to say “hey, I’ll call you later.” He didn’t. And that silence tells you way more than his TikTok ever will.
So what do you do? Stop giving him the benefit of the doubt. If “busy” is his favorite excuse, then congrats, you’re dating a man whose schedule is magically wide open for social media, but mysteriously packed when it comes to you. Translation: he’s not busy, he’s just not invested.
Final Thought: If he’s got time for TikTok, he’s got time for you. Don’t accept “busy” as an excuse for “bare minimum.”
