If my crush responds after one day, should I do the same?

Why does the response time matter? If you like them, reply back!

It always irks me how people have to have a "timeframe" in how long they take to reply back to someone, especially if you like them. If a guy takes too long to reply to me without a good reason (ie: work, school, or is just unable to access his phone), I'm going to assume he's not interested in me. Meaning I don't talk to him until he decides to reach out to me again... assuming I reply back.

In other words, respond when you want to. But if you notice they're constantly taking their time responding back to you? I'd put the ball in their court and make them initiate conversation! That will show you how serious they are about you, and if they're wasting your time or not.

Yeah you're right. But the girl sometimes initiates and usually responds once a day (because she's busy I guess). Sometimes twice.

But sometimes she goes online and doesn't respond to me (even if my message was sent almost a day ago).

I would suggest to keep it on a 'like-for-like' basis. Meaning, if you're unsure whether he likes you too, match his actions.
If a guy knows he's got your attention without having to put in any effort, he may start to take advantage of this. If you reply immediately after he takes a couples of days, he'll believe he can just message you whenever he wants and you'll jump at it.

Let him make some effort :)

No, don’t do the same, she is probably just busy and also trying to make it seem like she has a lot going on pretty much making you as the guy do the most effort. You can answer, now if you see she continuously does this then you may tighten up a little bit and do the same

she is just using you to get free attention.
