Lately I’ve been getting so many questions about texting and what it all means so I decided to bring back this oldie-but-goodie 45-second video in which I answer the question…what is a reasonable TEXTpectation??? If you’ve ever felt angst about someone you’re interested in not texting you back you need to watch this video now. Then, let’s discuss!
So, what do you think? What do you think is a reasonable amount of time for someone to text you back? At what point do you assume they aren’t interested because they didn’t text you back? When you’ve taken longer than what you think is reasonable, what was your reason? Has anyone ever gotten mad at you about the amount of time that passed before you returned the text? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below. Let’s really open up the conversation and get real with each other. Also, if you like this dating advice video please share it with the single ladies and single guys you know!
I had a girlfriend a few years ago who would always ask a million questions if I didn’t text her right back, not cool.
Andrew, thanks for sharing and I agree that there are many logical reasons why someone can’t text back right away. It sounds like she wasn’t the right one for you.
In your video you stated that if the person took a week to respond they are unavailable and to move on. The woman I met takes a day or two to respond to my text messages. Also, one time it took her a week to respond to my text, but she apologized and thought she responded to me sooner. We never had the opportunity to speak on the phone yet.
Would you consider her unavailable?
It depends. How long ago did you meet? Why haven’t you spoken on the phone yet? Have you asked to meet up with her for a date?
We have met about two weeks ago. I called her twice and she did not answer my phone call. She texted me back instead of calling me back. I have asked her to meet up, but the venue is another 5k race in July. I want to ask he out on a date, but on the phone instead of texting her.
Neither one of you sound so available to me! If you’re interested you may want to text her today and invite her for a drink this week. If she doesn’t respond with a yes in a day or two move on to someone worthy of your time. Good luck and keep me posted 🙂
