Okay, so I’ve been seeing this question pop up a lot: “How long will a Gemini man ignore you?” And honestly, it’s a tricky one, because Geminis are, well, Geminis. They’re known for being a bit… unpredictable. But I decided to put it to the test, in a very scientific way, of course. (cough)
The Setup
I have this Gemini friend, Mark. We talk pretty regularly, sometimes about deep stuff, sometimes about the latest memes. So, I figured he was the perfect guinea pig. My plan? To subtly annoy him and then go completely radio silent. I wanted to see how long it would take for him to reach out.
The Annoyance Phase
This part was kind of fun. I started sending him those really long voice notes that ramble on and on. You know, the kind where you lose the point halfway through? Yeah, those. I also started “accidentally” liking really old posts on his social media. Like, really old. We’re talking 2018 profile picture old. Subtle, right?
He responded to the first few voice notes with short, slightly confused texts. The old post likes got a couple of raised eyebrow emojis. I could feel the annoyance building. Mwah-ha-ha.

The Radio Silence
Then, I went dark. No texts, no calls, no social media interactions. Nothing. This was the hard part for me, because I’m a chronic over-sharer. It felt weird not to send him a random TikTok at 2 AM.
The Waiting Game
- Day 1: Nothing. Crickets. I started to wonder if I’d gone too far. Maybe he was genuinely busy?
- Day 2: Still nothing. I peeked at his social media (I know, I know, I cheated a little). He was active, posting stories. Okay, so he wasn’t abducted by aliens.
- Day 3: A breakthrough! I got a text: “Everything okay? Haven’t heard from you in a bit.” Bingo!
The Results (and Some Thoughts)
So, in my highly unscientific experiment, it took Mark, a Gemini man, three days to reach out after I went silent. But here’s the thing: every Gemini is different. Some might reach out sooner, some might take longer, and some might not reach out at all (ouch!).
My takeaway? Geminis are curious creatures. They like communication, and they probably will notice when you go quiet. But they also value their freedom and independence. So, while a little bit of the silent treatment might pique their interest, don’t overdo it. You might end up pushing them away instead of drawing them in.
I,of course,texted Mark back and explained that he was the subject of my * found it quite funny and asked me to send him another voice note,which I did. LOL
Anyone else tried this? Let me know how it went!
