I wouldn't take it personally if I were you. Who knows. Maybe they were at work at the time and couldn't respond. Maybe they had Facebook up on their phones, and something went wrong. Sometimes I have friends tell me, hey, I tried to talk to you on FB...Why were you ignoring me? And I have no idea what they were talking about because I wasn't aware I was still logged in and got any messages or anything. Remember, it's just a website. If you really want to talk to your friends you should call or text them! Happy MyLotting!

Facebook mobile has an option to stay logged into chat, so that you will always be logged in even if you aren't on the chat app. Maybe that is what they are doing and thus why they are not responding back to you.

nope as i said that it was not by any other thing ,it was always intentional and they only chat with girls of facebook so that they can make girlfriend by facebook. that is their only aim.but i think i is very cheap thinking.and that is why i removes them from my profile because i don't such kind of friend.

I think lots of facebook user experienced this and I'm one of them. Although I experienced this kind "no reply thing", I didn't think any wrong thoughts to those I greet, if they don't reply back,I will switch my attention here in this community to comment in many discussions.

I have experienced the same thing and actually felt bad sometimes. But anyway I have tried to understand friends... maybe they have other reasons why they don't want to communicate. It can also be that they are not receiving our messages. My brother could sometimes not see my message to him when he was online using his phone.

Hi vt689586,
It could be perceived as being rude but there may be any number of reasons as to why when you start a chat conversation with them that they do not reply, other than ignoring you intentionally.
If logging into Facebook via a mobile phone one appears online but at least with my phone, I can't see if someone is trying to instant message me. Sometimes people log on and leave the page open while doing other things online or at their computer. Sometimes they may not even be sat at their computer yet are still online because they didn't log off or they left their FB page open.
From a personal point of view, I don't let this get to me when it happens.

yeah i understand what you say and i also thought about that,this could be the reason that they did not reply my chat but there is nothing like that because one when i messaged one friend but he did not reply me,it was ok for me but at the same time i am chatting with my friend(female) and she told me that she also chatting with that person because both are my colleague.then i realized that it was intentionally so that he can chat with only female friends.

hm, can i ask you one question....is that person (who did not respond to you) so important that it would make you upset, and make you think about him so much that u would for a moment forget about your family and loved ones, to be just upset for the reason that he did not revert to you. is that person worth ur feelings...if your answer is yes then i can pacify you..(the only thing i can do), otherwise, in case ur answer is "no"...then move on...life is much more then waiting for a reply....
