How long does it typically take you to text back?

[frerardsprincess]

Obviously it varies depending on what you're doing at the time or who the person is but I often notice some of my friends have frequent very fast response times and some have frequent very long response times so I was curious

For me it's usually around half an hour because I'll often ignore notifications for a while unless it's about something urgent or from someone I really want to talk to

Under a minute

A few minutes

Half an hour

An hour

A few hours

A day

Multiple days

I've been known to go several hours or a full day before responding to a text, unless it's an emergency. I don't really enjoy texting. Besides, I'm usually doing something else, so I see a text, put it down to finish what I'm doing, then forget about it for who knows how long. If you really want to talk to me, you're far better off calling so I can talk while still using my hands for other things.

Multiple days. Any conversation gets boring if you text all the time. Give it a few days, you'll have more to talk about. Also if they were a true friend, they would have patience for you.

It depends on how busy I am. But usually I reply back within minutes!

Only hours or longer if it's a really long reply and I don't have the time to reply right away so I wait until I'm free. Or it's someone I don't feel like talking to... like that one annoying coworker that messages me on the weekend when I'm trying to relax and not think about work 🙄

It depends who the person is. Anywhere from a minute to a few days. There's only one person I text back immediately these days. Most people I text within the hour

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I usually reply to text messages within seven to ten business day! On the other hand when it comes to my sister if I don’t reply within two minutes she’ll send me seven more messages & if she gets pissed off she’ll call.

could be within a few seconds or daaays or even a couple of months. Who knows?😂

I'm a horrible texter. I'm not very talkative.

[DizzyDesii]

Usually 2 mins or less unless im at work. Then its like 30 mins or less

[potatoiswhoiam]

Anywhere from right away to a few hours. I think on average it's about 10mins

[BlackWidow93]

If it's someone I like then a few seconds to a few minutes. If it's a friend then a few minutes. If they're bugging me then a 15min-2 hours

[Jeff9743]

I try to respond as quickly as possible, unless I'm doing something

[HerLucidNightt]

A day unless it's my mom cause she'll freak the fuck out.

[chriscdi]

when im not doing anything its fast, i dont like wasting time so if the convo is going then the flow is quick, if im busy it can be a while

[Anonymous]

If I like you, in less than an hour, If you’re a friend or someone I’m not attracted to, 3-7 business days

[jamesgoldman]

It depends on what it is... something with money making potential will be fast as will meeting plans but other stuff could be a week

[7771999]

I'm quick to text back. But every once in a while I might be too busy 😬

[lnva87]

Few minutes if i hear my phone.
If im doing something so that i dont hear it it then it takes untill im done and check my phone.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

If it's for a girl within seconds, if its for a guy he will call me if its urgent I am biased 🤣😅😜

[MadBoy]

B to D, depending on if I'm near my phone and/or busy. But nine out of ten I'll text back.

[coffeewithcream]

Couple months. A year. Not more than two years. Depends.

[Browneye57]

You simply cannot forge a relationship by texting. FAIL

[19magic]

Generally soon as I see it

[Anonymous]

You can tell when you text someone and they with want or don’t want to talk to you. A good friend is patient even when that person dismisses you.

[aly34]

As soon as I see a text, I try to reply back.

[Torari]

Ranges from a minute to an hour
