Untyping is the moment you start writing a text, then delete it before sending, often out of doubt or anxiety.
Untyping is the act of typing out a message and then erasing it instead of sending it. The other person may even see the typing bubble appear and then vanish without anything actually arriving.
It happens when you second-guess your words, worry about coming on too strong, or rethink whether a message is worth sending at all. The draft gets written, reread, and quietly scrapped in a matter of seconds.
In dating, repeated untyping often signals real anxiety about how you will be received. The flickering typing dots can also leave the other person confused or even a little anxious themselves, wondering what you almost said.
If you keep deleting messages before they go out, the hesitation may matter more than the exact wording. Sending a simple, honest note usually beats endless rewrites that never make it out of the text box.
