About this test
Think of one person and your latest exchange. Rate what is true now; choose Not true for unknowns. Any no-contact request or safety concern comes first, whatever the other answers say. A reflection tool, not a promise of a reply. Respect no-contact requests and safety concerns; no texting strategy earns you love.
Methodology
16 original Likert items add 0–4 points to one of five patterns. Four peace items have weight 3; three items per other pattern have weight 4, giving each a base maximum of 48. Any agreement on a no-contact request (item 5) or safety risk (item 16) adds 100 peace points each, overriding every other pattern. Other ties prefer wait, peace, let them come, light question, then text now. These are reflection patterns, not predictions.

FAQ + disclaimer
Can a should I text him quiz decide for me?
It can help you sort your intention, timing and the effort balance. It cannot know what he wants or promise a reply. An explicit no-contact request always comes first.
Should I text her first?
You can take the initiative when contact is welcome and you have something kind to say. Gender does not decide who must text first; look at mutual effort rather than rules.
Should I text my crush?
If contact is welcome, one genuine question about a shared interest can be a gentle start. You do not need a perfect line, and their answer is not a measure of your worth.
Should I text my ex?
Check any boundaries and why you want contact. Do not bypass a block or a no-contact request. If you are hoping a message will settle all the pain, pause and seek support first.
Should I double text, and how long should I wait?
There is no universal waiting rule. A useful practical update is different from repeated messages seeking reassurance. Give an unanswered message space, consider their schedule and carry on with your day.
