Should I text him, or wait?
The message is already typed. That is usually a sign about the hour, not about him. Get one read on this moment — advance or hold — and sleep before you send.

What this question usually is
- Almost everyone asks this at night, and almost everyone answers it differently in daylight.
- Wanting to send it is not the same as needing to.
- The reply you are imagining is doing most of the talking.
What actually helps
- 1Draft it and do not send it. Save it in your notes.
- 2Put the phone in another room, and read the draft at breakfast.
- 3If it says the same thing tomorrow, send one message and no follow-up.
Tonight you are not deciding whether to text him. You are deciding whether 2 a.m. gets to press send.
One question, one direction — not a verdict about him.
Questions people actually ask
Should I text him or wait?
If you have to ask at this hour, wait. Not because of a rule, but because the version of you at 2 a.m. is not the one who should be deciding. Draft it, read it in daylight, then send it or delete it.
Will texting him push him away?
We can't tell you what he will do — nobody can, and anyone who says otherwise is guessing. What we can say is that one clear message lands differently than five half-messages sent across two hours.
How long should I wait before texting after no contact?
Long enough that you'd be fine with no reply. If a silent phone would wreck your day, you are not waiting on him, you are waiting on a verdict — and that is a bad reason to break a silence.
