Girls, How Long Do You Intentionally Wait Before You Text A Guy Back?

The only reason it would take me longer to text back is if I really wanted to not make myself look like an idiot or something, so I would think about my reply. I know I don't like the feeling of waiting for a reply in an important text conversation, so I don't intentionally make the guy wait. Unless I don't have time to reply.

Often I reply really quickly, if I can, because I'm anxious about the guy's response.

I have friends that do that, and usually it's just like, "Ugh! he took an hour to text back, I'm gonna wait an hour too and see how he feels"

But personally I just try and text back as soon as I can~ I don't see the point of delaying a message.

10-15 and the reason is that I don't want to look desperate and I like to seem busy as if I have better things to do rather than text him.. but now I think about it actually answer ASAP 70% of the time.. and now I realize it depends on how fast he replies too .. if he always answers an hour later its okay for me to reply and hour later if he's an asap person that 70% of the time I would text back asap

I don't play any mind games with guys unless they start. I reply when I'm done typing out the message. I think girls who are so fukin worried about coming off as desperate are desperate. If the guy thinks you're desperate just because you text back quickly, then he is an asshole and so not worth your time. And vice versa.

Well, it really depends on my mood sorry to say! If I'm in a flirty mood, I'll drag out the response for quite a while. On the other hand, if the texts are just chitchat, I'll generally answer fairly quickly.

It really depends on what I'm doing when the text comes. If I'm with friends, I'll wait a bit because I don't want to be rude to my friends; if I'm not doing anything then I will usually reply right away. :)

If I'm busy I wait until I'm not, but when I'm not busy, I purposely respond as quickly as he does :P If he responds right away I will, If it takes him 20 minutes I'll wait at least 15 so he thinks I'm busy too :P I admit it's probably dumb, but I guess it's habit! I don't wana seem too eager! And I guess I think you seem more desirable if you're a busy lady.

I text him back as soon as I get it. But if he made me wait to get the text, usually I make him wait.

Depends on how busy I am and on his answer speed.

If he replies right away and I don't have any urgent thing to do, I will also reply as soon as I get the message.

if I like a guy, I won't play mind games. unless he starts it. then it's on. so if he's texting me back right away, I won't wait. I'll reply back cause I want to have a conversation with him.

Sometimes we'll make them wait, but then other times we just really want to talk to you so we'll reply immediately. Unless you give us half assed answers like just "okay" or "lol yeah" that always pisses me off cause it makes me have to think of another topic and its really tiring if you do it all of the time.

other. I text back when I see that I've got a text or if I notice I have one but I'm busy I'll reply later. I don't play childish games in relationships.

i make him wait a few minutes. hm. around 10-15 mins. I have the impression that guys always want a chase. they prefer that than easy girls. I don't know, that's just my opinion.

it depends if he is responding fast then so will i...unless I'm busy with something while texting so ill try to multi-task as fast as I can =)...but if the guy takes awhile to respond ill take a while to respond but not as long as he took

Depends on what I'm doing. If I'm just chilling at home, then right away or within the minute he texts. If I'm out and about, then I might not get to text him until I settle down.

I never intentionally wait to respond. If I can respond immediately I do, if I am in the middle of something I wait.

I don't intentionally wait for any period of time. I text back when I have the time and I'm not in the middle of something.

Sometimes I don't get a text right away, like it doesn't come through or I just don't notice it. But when I see it I reply right away. (usually) :P

I text whenever I have time to reply; if I'm washing the dishes I text when I'm done, if I'm driving I text when I reach my destination, etc.

i reply back right away. if I like the guy or not, I reply back right away because I think its really rude to keep them waiting

I don't play any sort of waiting game. If I'm not busy, I text right back. I don't understand why people overanalyze everything and are so afraid of seeming desperate.

five minutes I don't want to look desperate texting him back straight away ! weird I know !:)

if he is making me wait, I usually make him wait. But otherwise, I text him right back

i text right away otherwise ill forget later...i believe in professionalism and being real. no games.

I reply when I have time. I'm a busy person! :D If I have time when I get the text, I'll reply then.

If I'm not doing anything I'll text back immediately.

Depends on my mood. I don't have a rule. I expect guys not to f*** with me like that either. I just assume that if they don't text me back, then they aren't interested.

whenever I want to, usually when I get the text unless I'm really busy then whenever I'm not busy. I'm a grown woman, I don't play little girl games like making a guy wait a certain amount of time =)

The guy I text most texts "Whats taking so long" after about 10 minutes. I like making him wait.

i seriously hate waiting to reply. if I don't reply right away, it's because I'm busy. I hate it when my friends are all like you should wait to reply your crush play hard to get I'm all like pfftt f*** that sh*tt I hate that srsly why do that

Well if its a guy a like then I will wait about a minute and text them as soon as I get the text from them.

Yes I do wait to text a guy don't want to seem so clingy or needy.

If he takes long to reply to my texts ill do the same.

I don't usually wait to respond, once I read the text I will reply back, however, sometimes I won't read a text for awhile so my response will be later

it depends how long its taking him to text back, usually after I've read it and all but if he's taking bout 10 minutes il do the same.

I don't intentionally wait, if I don't text right back its cause I don't have my phone on me.

i like to reply right away, because I like to have conversations on text not wait forever haha

2 minutes answer mine? link

provdided I have something to say, I text back right away.

Usually I'll wait 5-10 minutes or right away depends on how long he takes to text me back.

ofcourse it depends on how much you know the guy

Sometimes I might forget honestly. This makes me feel bad because I usually receive a reply right back when I text.

depends on how much I'm interested in the conversation and the guy.

That spends on if you don't sleep while. Cause I did that once.

If we aren't close I tend to take awhile, if we are then we text instantly or whenever we can.

No they don’t wait...why guys wait and how long?

pretty much as soon as he texts.. I'd even pause a videogame to text him back C:

if I like someone, I will text them back right away. unless I'm busy doing something but other than that, asap

i'd rather not play games and just answer quickly.

Depends on who is texting me and what its about

I don't respond right away, usually wait a couple minutes. but nobody likes a texting lagger!

Straight away unless I'm busy with something else

Depends on the guy.
