To think that you would check your spam folder?

[PlipPlop7clocks]

I emailed a close friend a few weeks ago and he never replied. We are normally in contact every few days. I have developed feelings for him and I don’t really want to contact him again because I am interested to know whether it’s just me driving the friendship and will I ever hear from him again?

My fear is that the email went to spam and he thinks that I just haven’t been in touch with him. There are reasons it could have gone to spam (title, attachments).

My question is, if a good friend who is normally in contact with you every 2-3 days just disappeared, would you check your spam folder to see if you had missed an email from them?

Nope. Wouldn't even occur to me. Why on earth would a friend's email, whose address is presumably in my contacts, go to a spam folder?

I can't remember the last time I checked my spam folder. Probably well over a year ago.

It wouldn't occur to me to look there.
I would just think it was odd that I hadn't heard from them.

I only check mine once every few weeks.

How do you usually communicate? Unless it’s by email and you’ve changed your address or something I wouldn’t think to check spam

No, I never check my spam folder.

How do you normally communicate? By email? If so I wouldn't even consider that suddenly an email might go into spam. Could you drop a text?

It’s very very unlikely that an email from someone who you are in contact with regularly would go into a spam folder.
In a situation like this then no, I wouldn’t check my spam folder. The only time I actively check mine is if I’m expecting an email from a company I haven’t dealt with/previously communicated with via email before.
I think you’re clutching at straws.

Maybe he never saw the email then. Arghhh!!!

I check my spam folder every day but only had the odd couple that weren't spam but they weren't from anyone in my email address book.

Tbh I wouldn't expect to be in contact predominantly by email with someone I was really close to. I'd find it odd if I'd received no texts/whatsapps/calls but it would never occur to me to check my spam.

We normally phone or text but I sent him an attachment along with a chatty email and he never replied. Which is very unusual for him.

It wouldn’t go into spam if your email is a known email.

Maybe hes ignored it

As others have already said, I never check my spam folder. Anyone I know is already in my contacts so won't go to spam.

I’d never think to check it then if you usually phone or text

Why not text him and then go from there?

Do you usually instigate contact? Whether he’s seen the email or not, I’d be wondering why he hadn’t got in contact with me if we were usually in such regular contact. You’d have thought he’d have emailed to check if you were ok/why he hadn’t heard from you?

Couldn't you just text him and ask if he received your email?

Just ask him by text if he got it

I wouldn’t check and if it were work it would get auto trashed.

Why aren’t you just texting him to check?

Also the friends but feelings is complicated and likely to end in tears if you don’t just ask

We normally phone or text...

Then do that then, and ask him if he received it. It doesn't have to be a huge mind fuck.

Just ask him if he got your email.

And then decide what to do based on his response

Just text and say did you get my email!!!

Was it a declaration of undying love? Because if it was they're maybe trying to draft a suitable response.

I don't check my spam folder.
I'm happy with the size of my penis.
I don't wish to help any princes transfer inheritances.
The only time actual legitimate emails go t spam is at work so I sometimes check my work one.

Have you checked your sent folder?
My phone email doesn't send emails with attachments if my phone memory is full.
They live in the outbox forever.
