I sent my friend a message and she swears she responded but I never got it So is she lying?

Answer

Well, there can be problems with delivering messages from time to time, so don’t be too quick to think that your friend might be lying to you.

If .01% don’t get delivered, then that’s about 1 in 1,000,000. There’s probably a better chance of you winning the lottery but let’s check a few things:

Is her Internet connection down? Maybe it was temporarily when the message was sent.
If Facebook down? Here’s a website where you can check that. Maybe it was down when she tried to reply to you. That website shows some history of when Facebook has been down.
There is a threshold on Facebook when people send too many messages. This probably didn’t happen but it’s possible she hit that limit.
Her connection could have been blocked. If she got on a network, like at work, then some workplaces block access to Facebook and the message could not have been sent.

Facebook usually tells you if there was a problem with a message being sent. Maybe that happened and she missed seeing that message, so it didn’t go anywhere and then just went away.

Ask her to send it again. Don’t assume the worst – give your friend a chance and the benefit of the doubt and don’t get hung up on this one instance. If it keeps happening, then you might want to suspect something is wrong with your relationship with this person. Ask them if they have any problems with you and explain that you’d like a good relationship with them. If you use that angle instead of accusing them, you’re bound to get a much better result and have less drama.
