When a message is not read by the recipient, this is usually because they are disinterested in what the person has to say.
On occasion, the user will read the message in scroll or drop-down feature of their phone, which will still leave the message unread in the chat.
Joey: 'Hey Samantha, great time last night, we should do it again sometime'
Samantha to Georgie: 'Did you see Joey wants to talk? I left him unread, so he thinks I never saw the message.'
