How do you communicate with someone who is silent?
Communication should take place freely and shouldn’t be forced. We can take a look at ourselves, ensure we are approachable, and change our behavior if necessary so that the silent one feels comfortable with opening up. Focusing on ourselves is always a good option, so take time out and do things that feel good.
What happens when a man goes radio silent without warning?
Nothing seems amiss. Suddenly, without warning, he goes radio silent and shuts down. He’s nothing but shrugs, one word answers, and denials of a problem.

What should I do if my boyfriend doesn’t talk to me?
If he doesn’t, don’t waste any more time on him! Keep your messages short and to the point. If he does get back in touch, keep things short and sweet for a while. Texting him an essay about your feelings and scolding him for his lack of communication will only hurt your chances at keeping him interested.
