If you text a friend one night asking if he/she wants to hang out sometime next week, how long should you wait for him/her to reply before texting him/her again? If it helps, this person always takes about 1-2 hours to text back, but it's the morning after you sent the text and you still haven't heard back. The person also has a relative visiting from far away, and you know that he/she is spending a lot of time with that relative, so might not be near the phone as much. I am in this situation, and I'm not worried about it, but I just want to know how long I should wait before sending another text.
You don't send another text. You just wait til he contacts you next time he is free. Maybe his phone is off because he is trying to entertain his company. Your wanting to hang out might not be his priority if he has relatives visiting..

Just one more text and saying this like I had to do a couple of days ago
"Um I sent you a text yesterday and didn't get a response"
Once I sent that she responded with some bull about being swamped at work.
But definitely don't send anymore than one after no reply and make sure it's not in the same day

You can always CALL the person. It is a phone, after all, and sometimes people don't receive the text because it falls in a hole in the electronic netherworld. But that would be too simple and personal
Personally, I'd wait until late Monday and if no response, text and say, "hope you had a great time with your relatives. Not sure if you missed my other text, but you want to hang out later this week?"
Simple. It doesn't matter if he did or didn't see the text, whether it even got received or disappeared into the ether as happens often enough, or whether he chose not to respond, or just forgot.
This isn't mission critical or time sensitive so just leave it until his guests are gone.
there are reasons why people dont answer texts right away. there are some days i dont look at my phone at all intentionally or unintetionally. Just busy doing other things, low batt, personal problems, phone charger not charging, no money, don't like you, etc.
It is amazing how many especially young people, think the only way to communicate is by text. A lot of people have texting turned off on their phones. Or they may read them only once a week or so. They think texting is kind of stupid. When you pick up your phone, you can call them and if not available leave a message. Those messages they get. Texts are considered not worth even looking at by a lot of people. They consider it so high school, to text.
