How long does it take you to respond to a text?

Question

Lol they vary for me if texting-
Mom: I’ll text 5-10 mins later
Dad: I’ll prob text back never
Boyfriend: I’ll text back immediately
Best Friends: I’ll send multiple texts before a reply
Other Friends: I’ll text back an hour/half later
Other Fam: I’ll text back hours later

But for the Most Part i text back immediately

Like 2 second I don't play games Unless the person is my bestfriend and she just texts random messages like I do to her and I take my time to respond, we both don't mind.

I tend to text back as soon as I get it. I don't know, it's just what i do.

Depends on the gender. Usually don't reply to the guys unless it's a outing plan or booze invite If it's the woman it's spontaneous even if I were in my death bed.

Texts back immediately/on time unless im away from my phone.

Prof_Don · Answer

I'll check my phone within a few mins if I get a text, but my urgency of texting back depends on the urgency of the text.

"My car broke down in (city) can u come get me please?" ,

gets a more immediate response than,

"Hey fuckface, I'm kicking ass in this game online right now!"

Depends, I usually text back minutes or hours later because I´m not really interested in the conversations. However, if it´s from someone/ friend I like or find interesting I respond immediately despite the circumstances (college lol). That being said, if they take their time to respond, I´d change their rank as a priority to less important and mimic the same behavior. I said it before but I just don´t see the point in texting fast if I´d get a response after a time. It only frustrates me.

I HATE TEXTING WITH ALL MY HEART. Yet, I still reply to some that require particular infos like when I'm coming home, or what I am doing at a certain time with purpose of meeting up. I despite texting a small talk like
"how are you?"
"eating, you?"
"nothing. whatchu eating?"
I have a small circle of people (my mom, cousin, boyfriend, and 2 close friend) to whom I will answer maybe in between 15 minutes and 2 hours.
If it's someone else, it might take half a day to weeks.

As for how long it takes. I try to remember what the other persons job or schedual they keep. Sure I like responses right away. However I also am realistic. I don't get hung up over a response time thats longer then I'd like. I'll just call and leave a voice mail. Then its totally up to them. Their response time lets me know where I stand on their importance list.

nopedydoo · Answer

Depends. Sometimes i won't reply at all, especially if my friends send me a meme, but ill reply immediately if someone is asking a questiok or starting a convo and im not busy

didigo182 · Answer

Depends...

If it's an unimportant few hours.
If it's someone "special" I respond when i see, or when i have avaliable time.

But I always answer.

What I do not admit is someone's answer 1 week later. If that happens, I totally disregard that person.

witherwing · Answer

I text back right after I've read the message. I might not read it right when I receive it, though. Especially if I'm at work.

EvilAngel114 · Answer

Not long. I reply to texts very quickly. Message apps will take longer. I hate to use them and a lot of times forget I’m even talking to people on it.

SarahsSummer · Answer

Depends on what I’m doing. It may be instantly if it may be 2 hours or more. I’ll respond to every text when I am able to.

Whatthefluff · Answer

I don't get texted that often, and I respond ASAP. Within 15 minutes, unless my device died or I was sleeping or something.

Nina12346 · Answer

I answer immediately , that's if I'm in my phone, but unless I'm doing something important like downloading music, taking pics or something , they have to wait a few mins or so. But I normally reply right away.

CHARismatic110 · Answer

I'm pretty good with texting no matter who it is unless I don't feel like talking to them. I may take a bit longer to respond depending on what was said also.

QueenofCups · Answer

My boyfriend I always text back immediately unless I'm in a meeting. Everybody else usually has to wait a little while.

antonio_2017 · Answer

I text right away if I don't think it's too important I wait until I'm not busy and lastly I'll not text back if it's odd or pointless or someone I never text often or I just totally forget and then I have to apologize, if you know ow what I mean.

Yumix · Answer

usually pretty quickly... as within a couple of minutes

that's for messenger where I get notifications... on sites like this where I have to check it can of course take some time, especially now that I'm not often here anymore
