has not said "Delivered"? I sent this 8 hours ago. Can it be delivered without stating so? Does this mean the phone is off?

Sorry, it's an important text and because this is also a person I like, would rather not send another in case he actually did get it.

Before any of you people go - oh he just isn't into you, etc, get over it.... If he got it and hasn't replied - FINE. What's annoying me is I don't know if he got it or not. He gave me his number and I am trying to move things along.
