Ghost 1,857 Posted March 11, 2014 Say you're messaging someone and no matter how long it takes YOU to reply to them, they always reply within seconds of your message. I ask this because I type fast and (usually) reply fast also, if I just happen to be online. Sure I multitask and do other things (homework, reading, games, drawing), but I'm always veeeery quick to reply to someone if I get a message. I don't know, do you do that? If you know someone like this, do you think anything of it? See, I'm afraid of coming off as idk... I'm just cautious about it now. "Oh, she took two minutes to reply to me? I'll wait a bit too.." just because I wouldn't want to sound up their asses or anything o_o But yeah. I mean unless I'm out or too busy to reply then of course I won't, but if I'm just chilling and someone messages me then even if it takes them a while during a convo, I'm usually pretty quick. Well, was. As I said I'm trying not to be so quick now... Thoughts? 2 Cucco and Aqua7KH reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Queen Tery 4,591 Posted March 11, 2014 I usually reply back as quickly as possible because I don't want someone to feel like I'm ignoring them. People could be doing other things, so I try not to feel like I'm being ignored when they don't reply right away, but it's hard not to feel a little shitty when people take a while to reply. 3 Jilly Shears, Neptune Vasilias and Ghost reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taeyeon 1,137 Posted March 11, 2014 I reply fast out of instinct. For me I get annoyed because I'll send them a fast text, and I'll have to wait like 5mins hah , 1 Aqua7KH reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dracozombie 4,554 Posted March 11, 2014 A speedy response to a text for me usually just shows promptness. If it's not immediate, then they get to it when they get to it. I don't speculate the hidden meaning behind response time, if one ever exists. I myself try to respond when I get the chance to. I just think it shows professionalism... even though we're talking about a text on eating too much spicy food. 2 Jilly Shears and Ghost reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silvia Kuroi 1,480 Posted March 11, 2014 I reply, usually as soon as I can. No one seems to mind the speed, even though my mind likes to find all sorts of hidden meanings in why it took someone an extra ten minutes to reply.. 1 Ghost reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ruby Rose 8,591 Posted March 11, 2014 Yes, I don't wanna seem clingy so I normally take my time before responding Same thing with the phone- only pick up from the third ring onward Gotta play it cool 2 Ghost and King Demise reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to be honest, I don't want to sound clingy or crazy or anything, but I text as soon as I can (sometimes it'll take me a while) But when I wait like an hour or something for a reply my mind jumps to conclusions and I get pissed. ^^' However if I find out that person was busy or was napping I don't mind. When it happens all the time though I do get mad. ._. 1 Taeyeon reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think Pink 1,967 Posted March 11, 2014 Usually no. I tend to get annoyed if it's been a few days and they haven't answered (I don't text much so this assumes it's a fairly important conversation) but in general, as long as they respond to me within a day or two, it doesn't bug me. I completely understand getting busy and forgetting to check your phone or temporarily losing it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anti-SOLDIER 68 Posted March 11, 2014 I usually reply late purposefully because I'm one of those people that like to give good replies and keep the conversation interesting. I'm not too worried on how long it takes for them to reply unless it's like a day. It also helps from not seeming to be clingy or not having a life. :tongue: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyDixieRect 2,061 Posted March 11, 2014 It's tough. I'm not the best at replying (I swear Ducky I will reply to our PM tomorrow or the day after, whenever my laptop comes!) but if someone replies to me in seconds or mitts then I will almost surely try to reply them back soon. Taking hours to reply after someone else only takes seconds, without giving any notification that you're busy is honestly quite rude. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SSGoten 59 Posted March 11, 2014 I also reply as fast as I can because I like to carry on conversations for as long as I can. I will take time to reply if I'm playing a multiplayer game or if I'm doing homework, but if I'm helping I usually leave my phone unlocked (I don't have to anymore though 'cause I jailbroke my phone) so I can help them and get them on their way. I tend to forget to answer if I don't answer right away so I don't really think it's a problem. I prefer speedy texters because I love having and carrying on a conversation. 1 Ghost reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sora's Baby 729 Posted March 11, 2014 I'm a slow typer....(yes I'm that guy.). So I guess I can't really think much into it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Sideris 1,551 Posted March 11, 2014 Well ,if anyone here has chatted with me before , they probably already know that I am replying really fastly . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DragonMaster 1,166 Posted March 12, 2014 No, that would make me a hypocrite, seeing as I'm one of those people who take forever to respond. If I didn't initiate the conversation, then there's no telling when I'll find the text. Then, of course, it takes me like five minutes to type a response because 1) I'm slow at typing on those dang touch screen keyboards with their tiny freaking keys and 2) My awkwardness is pretty much ten fold when texting as compared to actually talking to me or posts I make online, so I have to take my time in order to not look stupid. It doesn't really matter, since I only have one of my friend's number, we hardly ever text, and sometimes she'll just drop out right in the middle of a conversation.

Jilly Shears 2,144 Posted March 14, 2014 As long as it's not like a one word response or some bullshit like that, I wouldn't read too much into the delay between the person responding to you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
