Left on Read
2019.06.01
Meaning:
If you are left on read, it means that you sent a message to someone and they read it, but they didn’t respond. That person may have forgotten to respond, they may be writing a response, or they might just be ignoring you. In any case, you don’t want to be left on read. (Note: the other person must open your message so that the conversation shows that they saw it—indicated by “ read at 1:57”, for example.)
Example:
A: So when’s the next date with Mr. So-and-so? You know, the hot dentist?
B: There isn’t going to be a second date.
A: You’re kidding! Why not?
B: I sent him a long message saying how much fun the first date was, and can we get dinner this Friday!?... but he just left me on read!
Talking Point(s):
Have you ever been left on read? Have you ever left someone on read? Why?
