10 minutes-1 Hour- She’s distracted or busy. Maybe she’s sleep or at work.
24 hours- She’s not obligated to reply fast. I won’t throw a fit.
48 hours-Maybe she got hit by a bus or something. I’m pretty awesome. Don’t know why she wouldn’t respond.
I used to get upset after being left on read but then I started dating more girls. I’ve had girls reply days after a text and ended up dating them. I’ve had girls reply fast but never followed through with dates. You don’t know until you know. There’s too much stress with worrying about it. I just wait.
The relationship matters too. If it’s a girl I just met, I never send another text after being left on read. I just wait because I’ve met a lot of girls who surprised me. If I don’t get a reply I write her off and move on.
If it’s someone I’m dating or in a relationship, being left on read for a long time has been the precursor to a breakup 90% of the time. You get this gut feeling. I mentally prep, get it over with, cry for a week then move on. The other 10% of the time it’s been emergencies or phones getting broken/lost/replaced. A girl I was dating once put her phone on top of my car and i forgot it was there before driving away. While I was thinking she ghosted me, she was looking for her phone 😂😂😂
First of all: "What's up?" is a stupid and pointless question. Even I would not respond to it most of the time. I have always lived by the motto "Dont talk, if you dont have something to say"
When I write something, it always has to has a purpose. A question to her, or something that has happened in my life. Something she can actually respond to.
If she kept that on "Read", I would not be bothered, because there are just two possibilities: 1.) she is busy and will respond later 2.) she is not interested and will never respond.
In both cases, continuesly keeping to write her would not solve anything. In case of the first option, I would only stress her more, while in the second one, I would only annoy her more.
Depends, if I've been speaking to them for a while then I'll probably message again but, if first message or minimal talking, I wouldn't care much tbh, just move on.
But yeah, I can't really say unless I knew the exact situation. I don't get "strong attraction" too quickly, I save that for someone who would actually respond to a first message, and someone who tries.
Honestly that's one of the most disrespectful things that can be done to someone. There's not reason to not message the person and either tell them you're not interested, busy, need time to yourself, whatever the case may be. Leaving someone on read shows that you don't respect them enough as a human being to tell them what's going on. If I am left on read, I will continue to reach out to find out what's going on until I'm either blocked, or they tell me what's going on.
If the guy disrespected the woman to the point that she feels like she doesn't want to talk to him, then she should tell him she's done talking to him and remove him, or don't open his messages. Leaving someone on read is honestly uncalled for and there are very few reasons to do so
I had this discussion with my friend who left some guy’s snapchats open. He was literally bombarding her. It seemed like he left her alone but after a weeks he still came back and sent her some snap. He was a fuckboy and a player, who did her wrong. We were debating whether he’s worth the explanation that she doesn’t wanna chat with him anymore.
It's okay. I dont expect you to always remember or respond to me. But if you are with me... be more mindful of me or dont get mad if it happens back. I love being there when you need me but this is a two way street. I need you and you need me. Beg to differ and I'll beg for departure. Cause we come first. OUR relationship is top point.
Well, my phone doesn't do read receipts, so I usually start texting someone else and figure they're busy, asleep, hanging out with someone. None of us is the center of the universe, I'm not even to my kids, why the hell should I be to another adult. And if I am, I don't want that responsibility, think of me maybe every 30 minutes or hour in a happy or naughty way, not staring at your phone willing me to care when I'm thinking of something else, even if it's just laying in the bath tub.
Better than being stood up in person lol. Though in all reality ill hove it time and try maybe one more time. Life gets busy for people and there could be load of things on their plate you know?
If im just constantly left on read though? Eh... fuck it. As much as it sucks, its not something to dwell on. If they wanna talk after? I just hold it back a bit and just chill
Feels like shit tbh, I think to myself did I do or say anything wrong? And I don't normally try to reach her again I just say I'm sorry if I said anything to make you mad, that's if we had a conversation ut if she left me on read just by me saying hi then I'd assume she just doesn't like me or doesn't want to talk lol
Would be annoyed and not talk to her. It's the same when you say something and they just don't respond to it but answer with something else or nor at all. like you ask how are you, they respond hey. that is annoying af
Well it really fuckin' stupis 2 ignore someone (better 2 say that people are not interested 2 speak with eachother), and if I see this and it's more than 1-3 days than I just delete that mesage, I'm also really sad and start 2 think 4 myself, that maybe I'm not good enough 4 her (that's a lot of times) :(
For the most part it doesn't really bother me. If I had an important question to ask, I would just follow up with her in a few days. Attraction or how I feel about the girl doesn't have much of anything to do with it, for me...
That is Humiliating. It's such a Shitty treatment to make a person so Embarrasses and ashamed of themselves and confused because there is no explaination of something said is wrong.
"Oh damn.. She seent it but didn't hit me back" LOL.. That's the first thing I think, but then I'm like, she has other sh*t to do in life, she'll hit me back when she's ready & if she's not then so be it..
I would rather just see the word sent instead. Just seeing that for an extended period of time kills. Basically says that she feels you're not worth the time to reply to. She'll see what you had to say, but that's about it.
As they say keep moving on there are too many fish in the sea to be caught up on one because you need to find that one and you still got to keep trying no matter how often it hurts
Balls in her court. If "read" is seen, obviously she saw it. If she did not reply, she is either busy or it is a hint. I do not send a second text. Again, ball is in her court.
Doesn't really bother me. I hear people getting mad about this stuff repeatedly. Honestly unless were discussing something time sensitive i don't care. A person can reply to me 24 hrs. Later.

Not interested. I will sent another message asking if everything is okay and wait until she sees it. If there was no reply again, I would leave her saying I don't like mind games
I've come to the point where if she leaves me on read I might give it one more shot but if I get left on read I feel like I did something wrong or she doesn't like me.
If I was insecure like I was in the past it would make me feel sad cause it would trigger feelings if neglect. Now I do not think much of it cause I don't take shit personally anymore
That she’s busy or doesn’t have her phone on her? If she was someone I’m trying to pursue, I would wait for her to respond and act uninterested—depending on how old and what kind of person she is.
