    Are you the sender or receiver? Generally I assume I'm never going to hear from someone after a couple of weeks, especially so if I get a notice that it has been read or my profile viewed. But I never rule someone out of my interest unless I get a reply stating a lack of their interest. I have even had successful exchanges with people who haven't replied in months. It also depends on who you send a message to. If it's a profile likely to receive shitloads of messages, you have to give them plenty of time to even notice, let alone read and respond. With others it might be one of the only messages they receive. The other reason I never actually rule anyone out is because often their situation changes, and in time they might be able to consider your request that at the time of writing they couldn't. - Posted from rhpmobile

    It's going to depend entirely on the request , who made it and to whom, and a whole lot of other factors. If the recipient has read your request, but not replied within a few days, either they are no longer interested, or busy, or thinking of how to respond. Again it's going to depend on the request, it's wording, the context in which it was made, and the history of messsges between both parties. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I rarely send first messages, not sure why really, just never seem to have time to search. But regardless, if I reply to a message let's say, and then don't get a reply for that long, I've long lost interest. Actually I'm pretty bad, more than a day and I'm starting to wonder how many messages they sent at once lol but after a week or two, I would be pretty certain I wasn't much of a priority. Not comfortable being gap filler for them, so I then wouldn't reply, generally speaking, there can be exceptions. On the rare occasion I do send a first message, I never go back and check. They'll either respond or not. The first thing I do though with any incoming message is look at message history, one of the best functions on this website. It can be very revealing. Past abusers resurface to try again lol at which stage I wonder why I never blocked at the time 😏

    I find I can be occupied elsewhere with potentials that end up not working out and then going back through my inbox to see if there's any potentials I now have time to message. That's why I think no not interested is not the best idea as it closes the door completely. - Posted from rhpmobile

    As a receiver of messages, I have plenty of time to respond due to the shear (lack) of demand :p. So my response time is reasonably quick I guess. When I see the msg, I read it and review the profile and respond accordingly. As far as getting a response, well just like CT before me, I assume I won't hear back. It's surprising how many people respond so far after you've forgotten you sent the msg. You can't assume the person receiving a msg is logging on daily. Maybe they received you msg and logged on to 'read' it, but didn't really read it. Maybe they weren't in the mood or physical situation to actually respond... Sure - plenty of people ignore instead of saying 'no thanks' and there's plenty of reasons why someone might do that, but never assume. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Several messages/flirts that l have replied to within a day or 2. But their reply has taken several weeks to a few months. Same, l reply in a timely fashion to their keen message. Again, the message sits there for a month or 2. Going on that rate of enthusiasm, a root will take several months or years to achieve. Wtf is the thought process of these people? If you are here to hookup, check your messages. Only takes a few minutes of your day.

    If someone is keen they will make an effort and promptly. Male that is, sorry or female my bad! Not keen won't hear from them or maybe delayed which basically means that you are not a priority. So up to the individual how that sits with them. - Posted from rhpmobile

    How long to keep them on the hook before you strike ? Guys tend to respond straight away appearing desperate, females tend to string you out to make you "earn it" I hate this aspect of "the chase" Suffice to say if I get a whiff of game playing, your gone.

    why play games. That is school playground stuff. Reply good or bad. Anyway rejection is always awesome...because you know where you stand. But if there is no rejection then why waste time when you could be finding out more about each other in the time that you have lost playing games. just saying who cares if you may think you look desperate.

    You're right about reading but not always wanting to respond at that moment. I can be hard to catch during the day. I find the forum relaxing, no pressure, but with direct messaging, I need to be in the right head space, don't like messaging when I'm shattered or busy, so understand others are the same

    Normally I'n with I touch.... A day or two and I'm not interested anymore. In saying that, it I happened to see them at a club/party or chat in the chatroom. My interest might rekindle. But my time on here is select and being a single female you have a lot of messages to filter through and not much time to do it. I agree with the consensus that reply straight away does imply your keen. Sure life happens, but we are here for what we are here for, and for me... That's to fuc. And I don't have a lot of time to waste on people who message me back two weeks later.

    I partially agree Hornyalltime72, Annie and MsSexyDeviants had to say. I did not had much luck in hear so far, but in saying that do believe that is partial by my cultural attitude/ taste. But yes if someone is seriously considering they should message you in a day and if not at least have de courtesy to say no thanks. So far no good reply but tge bad ones come back in a day usually. - Posted from rhpmobile

    If someone wants to dish out some abuse or criticism that doesn't take a week to think about !

    Just respond when you get them and stay in contact and let the person know if you're turning up or not.. theres no games or time frame required. Just respond normally - Posted from rhpmobile
