How important is it? Are you trying to arrange tickets to an event? I would be more inclined to contact them again likely by phone this time, if it's something time-sensitive with a deadline. If it's just to hang out generically, I wouldn't classify that as "important" as your subject line indicates. How long is the relative visiting?
If you pick up the phone and call, you'll have the answer in seconds. Or you could waste time starting a thread about a situation that could be resolved in less time than it takes to write the initial post. *shrug*
Depends. If it is a friend and I don't get a response I'll probably send a text. If I don't get a response I'll call them and then call again til they answer.
If it's a girl I'm trying to date.. I send one and if I don't get a response I just don't talk to her ever again. Not wasting my time.
One of the reasons I thought he was so sketchy is because he went for days with no contact at all in the beginning - I'm talking a fortnight.
Turns out his friends girlfriend broke his first phone then stole his replacement - and im not even kidding.
No one believed it but I saw the shattered screen of the cheap replacement with my own eyes and listen to him moaning about her smashing his iPhone to this day.
I would just like to thank the Phone Gods that he never got the horrid text I sent him after week 2 of (I thought) ignoring me.
Back in my day if a guy wanted to ask you out he called you and asked you!!!
Why on earth would ANYONE text an "important" question in the first place? Call her up and ask her!!
Where are your manners? Did your mother teach you nothing??
There is nothing wrong with texting....geez. Next your gonna be screaming 'get off my lawn'. Phone calls are only for telemarketers, customer service and bad news.
