How late is it considered rude for a reply in dating?

[Anonymous]

Matched with a guy on tinder and followed each other on instagram. We were texting on instagram and had great convo. The next day he texted me at like 1 am I didn't read his text till 3 am and thought I wait a bit to reply and left him on read because I felt weird messaging back at 3 am. The text was on vanish mode meaning if text get read and you dont reply right away the message disappears so I read his text and haven't get back to him yet and I was also taking time to think about the answer to his question. Woke up around 2pm and was going to reply but he deletes me off his account and blocked me. Was I being rude? Or was he too impatient I mean its not like I left him on read for days. I felt so bad because I actually really liked him now I messed up my chance and couldn’t get over him omg.

Maybe he thought you didn't care about that message. There are some people due to experiences in life dont care about you if you show not interest but this is a extreme in my opinion...
Try not to let in read people and if you do it try not to do it for so long.

It's never too late. Listen take as much time as you need especially if you don't even really know the guy. If he don't like it oh well. It's too bad he block you. Had he not, you could have told him to go fuck himself if he didn't understand your time frame in a answering his asking you out. Besides who in the fuck wants to be rushed into anything?

Tinder to Instagram to texting?

If you can't figure out what is wrong here, you are too immature for dating.

He’s being a dick. You didn’t do anything wrong.

You matched and the next day things go south and you are that upset by it? That sounds very desperate. It was one conversation you had. That is nothing.


You weren’t rude tho. That type of thing happens. Could be any number of reasons. It was rude on his part to not have good communication with you. But that’s sometimes what happens.


Just gotta move on.

I'd say it's: past 8 p. m.

People must have a right for privacy.

Don't sweat it. If he is that immature, he isn't worth the follow-up. Nothing lost.

He was being impatient.
For me it depends on why they were as late as they were.

guys who are texting at 1 am and later, are not "decent" men. theyre looking for sex

That's one Way to look at it always send a message anyway and then they'll get it when they click on it in the morning
