Were you messaging a girl, only to find that the last message she sent has disappeared? Now that the unsend feature has rolled out on most social media platforms, it can pose a lot of questions: why did she unsend her message? And how, exactly, do you restart the conversation? In this article, we’ll tell you the possible reasons why a girl might have unsent her message, as well as some ways you can ask her about it.

She’s adjusting her message.

  1. She might reread her message and realize it’s not what she wanted to say. Have you ever sent something that sounded super serious or mean when you didn’t want it to be? If she reread her message and realized that it sounded a bit harsh, she might be adding in a few smiley faces or an “LOL” to convey that she’s joking.[3]
    • For instance, maybe you two are flirting with each other and she sent something like, “I’d never hang out with your ugly mug.” On its own, that can sound a little mean—but adding a winky face or a heart eyes emoji will show you that she’s just messing around.

She regrets something she said.

  1. She may have said something emotional in her message. Maybe she reread it and doesn’t want to send it anymore, or maybe she’d rather talk to you about it in person. People unsend messages if they feel a little awkward or embarrassed about them, so it could be the reason why she unsent hers.[4] She might have also sent something a little forward, and then felt weird about it later on.
    • She could have also messaged you something while she was drunk, and then unsent it in the morning. Drunk messages usually aren’t fun to read the next day, and she might be feeling silly or embarrassed about it.
