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?

I usually wb about 5-10mins after. I think it shows you're not at their beckon call, not too enthusiastic, and keeps you on their mind for those few mins while they wait. Longer than say 20mins is just annoying to me.

I do it as soon as possible. But that might mean several hours if I am busy.

Don't waste time. Write back now.

If people spend more than 5 mins writing back when they're not doing anything, i start to think that they're carefully planning, editing and re-writing some wretched SMS i won't look at twice.

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 agree with lhyviathan.

does it really matter?? i'd be a bit worried if guys (OR GIRLS) cared about this - sometimes people can't reply straight away coz they're in the middle of something. once i replied to my bf's sms three days later coz i'd completely forgotten about it. he just laughed and poked my nose.

Apply this to girls - is it easier for them to reach orgasm?

I would SMS back ASAP. I hate waiting around for messages, and I'm just going to assume that the guy does too.

i didnt start this forum for my own personal use.. i usually write back as soon as i get the msg/check my phone so i don't forget...

i heard my friends talking about it that other day, and they said to wait 10mins to keep him/her interested... and was wondering what other people thought..

When you're on the phone do you wait 5-10min before answering their question? No.

Write back when you read the message/have a chance to write... it annoys the shit out of me when I have to wait for messages =\

i hate people who write "wb (write back)" at the end of messages. It's fucking annoying. If i want to sms back I will. That way you kind of have to. I wouldn't be pissed off if its something important, but half the time its something you can only possibly write "thanks" to.
And the wierd thing is that only chicks do that.

Stupid females. Of course you want him to write back asap. Thats why he doesnt. In antagonising he creates an emotive response - leading to you wanting him even more. Its evolution baby.
