Usually when a guy is ignoring me, I try texting/calling him first to see if he'll actually answer. If he doesn't, I give him three days to answer me back until I break up with him because he isn't worth my time. :)

Being ignored can make you feel really alone and like you have done something wrong.However it's important to try and look at the situation objectively even though you are very much in the relationship.What factors might be causing his behaviour and does it relate to you eg.Is he simply very busy with a work or university deadline ?, Does he need to speak to his family or other friends too (I know it may be tempting but you cannot be his whole social life).If it persists long term though and you feel it is really impacting on your life it might be worth bringing the issue up in a calm manner and asking him to explain the reasons while also telling him how it makes you feel.If you have worked on other areas of your relationship and this is the sole 'issue' I would very much hope he would be responsive to your concerns and attempt to change his behaviour.

Simple answer -tell him you'd like him to pay more attention to you! Communication is the lifeblood of a relationship. Is he ignoring you more than usual? Is he ignoring you for something specific? Is he ignoring you because he's preoccupied with something? Maybe he'd like to talk about it, and especially to you, but he doesn't know how to communicate. I'd be happy to talk to you more on this.

Let him ignore you. Don't show him that you are dependant of him. If he ignores you, maybe he needs space. If he never quits ignoring you, you obviously deserve better.

In times like this, I usually focus more on myself. Doing things I love, reading lots of book, taking good care of myself (such as; exercise, making sure I'm in good shape, taking enough rest and etc.). The more you seek attention the more you will look unattractive to your partner. The more you take good care of yourself the better and the more attractive you become.

Go on about your own business, treat yourself like you would your best friend and do things that you enjoy. Men need a lot of space. When he inevitably comes back wanting your attention, explain calmly but assertively the way you feel when he acts that way.

look at the cause...either his love is fading, or he's got some personal problems, or he needs more room, or its just a love game? once you get to know which is it, you might find a solution too! *hopefully*

From my own personal experience I have found that its best to wait until he talks to you and then ask why he was ignoring you.

The best thing to do in this kind of scenario is to be calm, cool, and collected; don't let it get to you too much. Keep positive and stay firm with yourself, don't show defeat or become too apprehensive; don't hound him, just text here and there and let him know that you hope he is doing ok, that you are missing him, that you are a bit concerned, but don't over do it. It's important to keep in touch, despite the fact that he may be ignoring you, do not make any kinds of irrational threats towards him, and if he continues to ignore you, then let the situation settle as it may. Show a bit of concern, make an impression, try, and then let time do what it may. Showing initiative makes you the bigger and better person in some cases; letting things fester sometimes solves things, and sometimes makes others worse. Keep calm, don't jump to conclusions, and try to avoid making irrational assumptions. Your health and composure is the most important; you must remain steadfast, perhaps admit to wrongdoings, be attentive, and sometimes let things go. Time will always tell; don't let ignorance or insecurity overpower, or dominate you, or your feelings. Remain composed, remain true to yourself.

I would just try to distract myself from him. You do not need him to pay attention to you for you to have value, and sometimes, I think we get so caught up in those we love that we forget that.

I'm sorry to say this, but you should break up with him. If he's ignoring you, he's wasting your time when you could be with someone who doesn't ignore you.

When one is ignored by a significant other, it can make them confused, angry, and scared. It's hard not to text and call just to make sure they haven't forgotten you! Sadly, this often makes them avoid you more. People like space and when they smell desperation they run. The best thing to do is relax and let your boyfriend come around on his own. Don't think he hates you, maybe he's just busy or worried about his own issues. The important thing is to not take anything personally.

Seek out your own personal growth and development. Have fun and keep busy until he calls or messages.

If your boyfriend is ignoring you - it's important to look not at the reason he's ignoring you but the health of the relationship. Is it healthy for you to be in a relationship with someone who cuts off communication? Is it healthy for you to put time and energy into someone who would rather shut down than work it out? From there you should formulate if this is the relationship for you to be in and if this is the relationship that will keep you happy long term. In my life anyone who shuts me out is not someone I'm interested in being with. Open and honest communication is more important to me than someone willing to ignore me.

If he absolutely won't let you state your case and he disrespects you personally then ignore him and walk away. It's possible that the space will allow you both to gain perspective on the situation.
