you, in particular, are a very conscientious person, and i assume you are texting with a male.
although it might cross my mind that they might not be interested, it's more likely they're staring at the pic, then trying to take a decent one to send back.

@pentacorn yes. It is possible
@pentacorn usually it’s best if you just talk to them on video call and see if you like that person.

@mysteryespresso that seems pretty common nowadays, to just video chat with someone you meet and like online. i've only done it once, and we dated for years after, but i made him wait for 3 months of texting and emailing first. i was very nervous!
@pentacorn no that’s right. Better to know the person well
Once I met someone online and we’d talk on long long emails.
I don’t know if that person is dead or not they just stopped replying one day
It was back in 2014

@mysteryespresso they're probably still alive... although we will probably never know for sure!

@pentacorn No. It’s just an etiquette thing I’ve noticed, whether it’s on here or men I’m talking to irl. I’d be thinking “well” also. Sure a video call is good, but people still send selfies every so often. So it’s interesting when it comes to response times. It can turn me off honestly if it happens too often.

@marsbar yeah, i agree. if they don't show appreciation for the effort of sharing yourself in good time, it's a killjoy. there's a theoretical window of opportunity (not sure of the exact amount of time), because sometimes things don't go smoothly starting out. it does become more apparent it's not gelling as the clock ticks on, though, for sure.
