How long do you take to respond to a communication with someone? How long do you expect for that person to reply to you?
If it's someone I think has romantic potential I respond always within 1 to 2 days. I feel 'immediate' is usually too soon, and anything more than 2 days leaves a person feeling that I'm not seriously interested. I apply the same standard to others.
I expect a similar level of courtesy, and will allow up to a week to see what the level of genuineness is. No response after a week is a clear sign of dis-interest.
If I was communicating via an online service (dating or general) I will block/delete normally after a week. If it's via email, I block/delete the whole conversation after a week. If it's text message or some other sort of online communication via phone, I will block/delete the person's number and/or other linked online credential after a week.
Most women demand/expect almost 'instant' reply to any communication and jack up if that doesn't happen, so as a man I apply a similar standard to a woman's communication when it's in a leaning-into-possible-romantic-connection territory type of conversation.
How do you approach how you manage communication with a similar situation that might be developing in your life?
