Will a Player Text You Every Day?
One of the most exciting things that can happen in our lives is when we form a brand-new romantic connection with a handsome new man. Those early days are filled with wonder, electricity, and hot anticipation of everything that might be to come. But while everything can feel like an exciting new adventure opening up, there’s always the possibility that you’re now seeing or dating a “player,” which can complicate things somewhat.
In this blog, we’re going to first clarify what we mean by “player” and then take a closer look at the core question about whether or not a player you are with will text you every day. The truth might surprise you. Then again, it might not. Read on to find out more.

What is a Player?
In modern dating parlance, a “player” which is sometimes also spelled “playa” refers to a successful man who is dating many different people at once. Being a player implies that this guy juggles his various love interests deftly and without there appearing any major conflict with his partners. At the same time, should he ever be rumbled or otherwise found out, he would casually take it all in his stride as “part of the game” and simply seek to replace anyone in his roster that he loses for some reason.
It may all sound rather shallow, but so many people remain attracted to players even when they know the kind of person they are and what they’re up to. Why is that? Chiefly, people like players because they’re outward and confident, which has a natural allure. On top of that, their dating habits and routine often involve generous, kind, and affectionate behavior that people also find hard to resist.
You may know deep down that this person is a player that is using the same routine on you as he is with a bunch of other people around him, but you love it all the same. You may try to explain away the “player” nature as harmless, or perhaps believe that you will shine through and make them abandon their other pursuits in favor of you. It’s all possible, but we should remain realistic.
How Do Players Operate?
As you might expect, players/playas will spend time during their nights out at bars, clubs and other social venues harvesting phone numbers and contact information from as many people as possible. They then juggle these various new acquaintances, texting back and forth, eventually perhaps leading to in-person dates, and possibly sexual encounters.
The main goal of a player is to keep as many people on the hook as possible and enjoy everything they can. It’s not necessarily that they’re completely averse to something more serious — though they often might claim that — but you shouldn’t expect them to bend to your will or anything.
Will a Player Text You Every Day?
Now we come to the core question of the blog – will a player text you every day if you’ve connected with them already? We’ll share a couple of the most likely scenarios:
Scenario 1:
They Won’t Text You Every Day
One thing you have to remember if you’re talking to a player is that they will certainly be juggling a lot of interactions. If you’re desirous of their attention, the sad fact is that you might have to wait a while for them to text you, or to reply to a text you sent them. In addition to that, players are known for playing it cool when it comes to texting back.
This means that, busy or not, they may leave you on the hook for a day or more, partially to gauge your level of interest, but also because they want to build anticipation.
Scenario 2:
They May Text You Every Day
Remember that while players may juggle many different romantic interests at once, they may not treat every love interest equally. This means that you might be put on top of the pile as a “favorite” of their current interest group, and thus you’ll get more frequent communications from them. It sounds rather callous, but it’s more often than not a reality that comes when dating or connecting with a player.
In this scenario, therefore, you could indeed expect a text from your player every day. However, there’s no way to really determine how likely this is because asking a player about it would require them to admit that they are juggling multiple people, and that’s generally not part of a player’s game.
Conclusion:
Should You Be Worried?
Dating a player has its benefits and its drawbacks, just like anything else in life. You will undoubtedly enjoy the attention they lavish on you, not to mention the charming comments, the flirtatious texts, and possibly quite a lot more. If you are dating someone who is a player, it’s just important to be realistic and maintain an air of caution.
It can be great fun and an exciting time dating someone with so much experience in dating, but at the same time, players are a lot more sexually active, and invariably a lot less emotionally attached to their pursuits. This could leave you in an awkward position if you engage in unprotected sex with them, but also leave you emotionally compromised if you over-invest in your relationship with that person. So, proceed with caution.
