I don't think they will percieve you as desperate if you reply ASAP.
Its all in the wording of your SMS anyways.

Yeah, i guess i just dont get it. Id never even think about smsing when drunk. Dancing like a madman and making out is way more fun. :cool:

hahaha true. I think I do when I'm still drunk but on a bus from the city on the way home all alone.

I don't know how people who drink alone do it without going insane.

Waiting to keep them interested?

How fucking childish.

If thats what you have to do to keep someone interested in you, your one sad individual.

I write back straight away to everyone. What is the point of waiting? SMS is meant to be quick. Not to wait around so the person doesnt think you like them or whatever the fuck

Not sure if this has been a thread before, but anyway...

When's the right time to write back to a msg from a girl/guy you have a "thing" with (ie. in the chasing phase)?? Should you wb asap, or wait 5/10/15/20 mins?
Straight away, why wait around,unless you don't know what to write back and have to think about it.
I usually msg back straight away unless I don't know what to say that's when I think about it first.

Usually ASAP, unless I'm in the middle of something...or they're asking something that requires some thinking about. If they don't return it within say, 15-20 mins I'll usually put my phone away and won't bother worrying about it for another couple of hours.

is it just me (or my phone), or do i often receive messages half an hour or so after they've been sent? some people think i'm always ignoring their messages

and for god's sake, just reply as soon as you see it. no one is going to try guessing why you replied 5 minuntes and 34 seconds later. even if they are, their conclusion might not even be the one you wanted them to come up with (eg. you waited 10 mins before replying to show you're cool or whatever, but they might think you spent that 10 mins editing and re-editing your text)

Why give a fuck?

Do you honestly think a guy is gonna sit there, ticking off boxes that say:

0 - 5 min: desperate
5 - 10 min: easy
10 - 15 min: acceptable
15 - 20 min: prude

Just reply whenever you damn well have something worth replying with.
I would. :cool:

geez its not a big deal. it's just an sms..
if it's important i'll write back within like 15 mins, otherwise i might leave it for an hour or so, or until i could be bothered

it annoys me how some ppl reply the instant you send a msg, like they're waiting with their phone beside them. that = desperate
