How long should I wait before canceling a friend request that I sent him on Instagram?

[Anonymous]

I really like this guy, he seemed interested at first but I don’t know he just keeps giving me mixed signals, but now we don’t see each other as often
so I just wanted to send him a friend request and get it over with
so I won’t regret anything later , I hope.
how Long should I wait that I won’t seem too desperate?

If he's sending mixed signals, it's likely because you are, so, he's not sure how you feel

You need to show him how you feel

How long has it been? I’d say a few weeks is definitely long enough

[Asker]

It has been a day and it feels like a week tbh

[Iron_Man]

Try around three days

[Asker]

Um I don’t know Isn’t that a bit too long?
I mean if he wanted to accept the follow he would have done it right away

[Iron_Man]

Give it two more days

[athlete_7]

2 days. Depends from guys to guys

[Anonymous]

I would give it 24 hours only

[Asker]

I thought that too

[Guy13]

Like now do it…

Really, there’s a politically correct protocol for that too⁉️ What happens 🤷🏻‍♂️, does the Instagram 👻 appear and all of IG 👻 you in unison 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
