How long do you leave unanswered messages on the table?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I've had some really slow replies. After a week or so! Nice surprise when they come through but does make for a stilted conversation.
So with slow repliers, I tend to make statements rather than questions.
I certainly don't check and reply as quickly as normal with things as they are right now. Don't want people getting fed up of me, so I check and reply a couple of times a day now rather than replying as messages come in.
So I'd give it a few days wait. |

I suck. If I like the person I reply as soon as I can, but sometimes if I'm not feeling great I can easily forget a message and it slides down with so many others and gets lost and then I take ages to reply to it.
I really need to tighten my filters as I get too many and 95% of them are ignored as they are just standard messages that rarely interest me. |

If it's someone new and not related to a forum post or game I delete after sending.
I had a reply to one message after just over 6 months, got a meet from it too  |

I only seem to be able to find women on here capable of 2 or 3 word answers. The conversations will keep going, as long as I'm asking all the questions. I inevitably let those die when it becomes clear they're putting no effort in.
But with messages I find it best to fire and forget. If you get a reply, great, if not, who cares, there are plenty more fabbers out there. Admittedly it does get annoying when you were having a good, flowing exchange and then she stops dead, but if you're not expecting anything, it won't bother you that much. |

It is slightly amusing how many people talk about wanting connection / conversation but seem to struggle to do so in messages.
I tend to assume I’m not ticking sufficient boxes, they aren’t really interested or they’ve got other things going on.
The chats that stop dead mid conversation are the weirdest though. But you know how it is - move on! |

I'm managing to not focus on it this time round - it did bother me when I was still new to the site. I just keep in mind that it's kind of amazing to get a reply at all, plus lately everyone's been really lovely. |

This pretty much for me too  |
