First question: how would you handle situations where you show interest in someone by writing a thoughtful blurb (maybe even witty), and they liked it enough to match with you, but not actually respond?

Second question: for those people out there who have someone show interest in you by writing a thoughtful blurb (maybe even witty), why would you not at least also say hi or some other basic acknowledgment? What is the expectation?

    Everybody moves at a different speed, and if the speed isn’t working for you, take it as a sign. I have found that people who take their sweet time responding end up being a little selfish, because they don’t see you as a person who’s investing time to get to know them, all they see is when it’s convenient for them to reply.

    I take my time because I have a busy life and I’m not on my phone most of the day. I reply when I’m ready to reply. I am not going to reply just because some stranger has anxiety/control issues with texting. and I’ve found people who get upset at your lack of timely replies (in terms of hours/minutes) always always have massive control/anxiety problems. I’m not compatible with people who operate like that.

      We’re were talking days. Only a complete freak needs minute or hourly replies but if a person doesn’t reply after days, don’t bother with them.
