How to Get a Virgo Man to Respond to Your Text

When you see obvious signs a Virgo man likes you, it may confuse you when he doesn’t text back right away. Why does he wait so long?

You need to understand what to text a Virgo man to get his attention in the first place. He doesn’t respond to small talk. He needs a reason to respond.

A Virgo man doesn’t like to waste time doing anything that isn’t productive. He doesn’t text just to make conversation. He waits for something important.

Why Virgo Men Text in the First Place

Even when you see typical Virgo man crush signs, you may expect your Virgo man will start to open up more and become more communicative. Yet this won’t always happen. Especially when it comes to texting.

It’s important to understand a Virgo man doesn’t text for the same reasons you send a text. He only sends a message when he’s trying to communicate something important, timely and practical.

He may drop a line to wish you a “Good Morning” or “Good Night” but he won’t usually use texting to make small talk. He doesn’t like to spend time doing anything that doesn’t produce some tangible, real results.

He doesn’t see the purpose of texting for any other reason than to share vital information that you will need in order to do something practical. He’ll send the time, place and other pertinent details when you’re meeting up.

He’ll tell you what he thinks you need to know. He doesn’t see this as being cold. He’s just busy and doesn’t see the need to converse excessively. This is essential to understand. When you text him with flirty statements, he’ll see it as unimportant.

Understand His Response “Rating” System

A Virgo man has a system for everything. It’s how he keeps control of his life and feels empowered. He’s got rules for every aspect of life and is always organized.

When it comes to texts to reply to, he’s got his own rating system. He sees some messages as urgent, others as priority, but not urgent (these can wait) and also as unimportant.

When you send him cute videos of cats or a message saying “Hello, how was your day?” this is a sure way to get ranked lowest on his list. These are not urgent messages. They aren’t practical. They don’t command a response.

This is the equivalent, to a Virgo man, of small talk. He has little patience for this. Yet when he loves you he will respond. He’ll do it in his own time.

Keep it Brief

How does a Virgo man test you? He doesn’t exactly. He simply follows his own rules and sticks with his agenda. He doesn’t let himself get distracted by small talk.

Whenever you text a Virgo man you should keep in mind less is more. He doesn’t like to read paragraphs. In fact, even if you have an urgent matter, he will ignore it if he sees huge blocks of text.

A Virgo man doesn’t like to stop what he’s doing when he’s busy in order to scroll through a long text. Especially if it is just to make small talk. He’ll get annoyed by this.

Keep it short and to the point when you text a Virgo man. If you want a response right away, make sure you are texting him with a productive message that has some kind of practical implication.

Ask Practical Questions

The best questions to ask a Virgo man have to do with practical things he can do to help you. This is what separates a text of “How was your day?” from a text such as “My computer crashed again, can you stop by later to help me fix it please?”

The first is an abstract question that he sees as endearing but not really useful. Whether you empathize with him or not, his day still was what it was and he doesn’t really see the point of going on about it through text.

The second question is direct, to the point, specific and making a practical request. It is much more likely to get a reaction from him. Even if you think its more selfish to ask for help than to ask about him. He doesn’t care.

He would rather be productive than take the time to explore his feelings or talk about his day. He’ll gladly tell you how his day was when you talk on the phone or see each other.

Another practical question to ask a Virgo man can include “I’m going to the store, do you want me to pick anything up for you?” This shows interest in him and also engages him to respond. It’s practical, not abstract.

Make Sure Your Message is Response Worthy, in His Mind

Just because you see the signs a Virgo man is serious about you, doesn’t mean he will loosen his boundaries at all. He sticks to a tight routine and schedule. He doesn’t like to waste time.

You may think it is important to text “I love you” five times each day because it’s a sweet and loving thing to do. Yet in his mind this is more of an annoyance than endearing.

When you decide whether to send a text to him, ask yourself what the purpose of the message is. If the only purpose is to gain his attention or let him know you are thinking of him, think again.

This alone will not meet his criteria as an important message. While a nice gesture, there is no practical implication. If you want your text to get a response, it’s got to be respond worthy in his mind.

Don’t Rapid Fire Multiple Texts

When a Virgo man goes silent, you may feel compelled to text him again. Maybe he didn’t see it? Maybe he didn’t get the notification? You may make excuses to explain why he didn’t respond.

Don’t keep texting him though. This will come across to him as a nuisance. Try to make the most of one text. Be clear, concise and direct. Give him a chance to respond.

Whatever you do, don’t contact him repeatedly. If he doesn’t get back to you he may be busy or just deem your text as not worthy of an imminent response.

Use the Word “Urgent” Sparingly

With a Virgo man, the key is to communicate only when it is urgent and when you need practical help. Yet you don’t want to outright use the word “urgent” repeatedly.

In a Virgo man’s mind, if everything is an emergency, nothing is an emergency. You want your texts to stand out to him. Don’t give him the sense that you need his help right away unless you really do.

Don’t use this technique all the time. He will start to feel taken advantage of or will become annoyed. Instead, be practical and let urgent matters speak for themselves.

Break Ordinary Texting Routines Only Occasionally

A Virgo man is a creature of habit. He’s tied to his routines. He may answer your texts only at a certain time of day. This is because he’s got you in his routines. This is actually a good thing.

He doesn’t like to be spontaneous. A Virgo man follows his own schedule and has his own sense of timing. If he really likes you he may break ordinary routines to text you more.

Yet this will be the exception, not the rule. He will stop from time to time to answer a text when he’s otherwise busy. From time to time, drop a practical, brief text during a time that you don’t normally communicate.

This will give him a sense that it is important and will encourage him to break with routine to respond to you. Don’t overuse this technique or he will think you are becoming too needy.

Be Respectful of His Time

Always text like you know your Virgo man is in a hurry. He usually isn’t one to hurry but he is always busy. He will be more responsive to you if he feels you respect his time.

No need to go on in your text about how you “know he’s really busy but…” Virgo men don’t like this preface. He will wonder to himself why you are bothering to text him if you know he is really busy.

Always show through your actions that you understand he has many tasks on his to do list. No need to state the obvious, show him you respect his boundaries by not acting needy or demanding of his time.

Tell Him You Need Help or Advice

While you are following the guidelines about keeping it brief and respecting his time, try to pinpoint your texts around specific things you need help with. Keep it brief.

If it’s a complex situation, give him a brief explanation and ask for a time when you can talk about it more. Virgo men love to share advice and guidance. He loves to show you he’s the expert on everything.

Ask him if he can give you his opinion on the best phone to buy, the best model car, the best way to accomplish specific things. He’ll be flattered that you are seeking his help.
