I cute girl messaged me around midnite. that was a surprise. we are only a 59% match, but I like what she wrote on her profile
the only person I messaged deleted their profile after. we were 97%. It was a normal message referencing things she wrote. they must have found someone or got tired of online dating. but I wish they would have at least messaged something back.
also, both are lawyers. that's strange.

oh. i'm not sure if i understand, but have you tried forgetting about it immediately after you send it?
overthinking can be a legitimate problem
i would be using my offline time to experience the world around me; if i'm thinking at all it is of opportunities to meet other fellow offline daters.
i don't think ppl are understanding my question. it's more of an etiquette question. i'm wondering what the norm is from other ppls experiences, since i haven't online dated in a while. i am doing other stuff.
A few days. I didn't always log into a computer everyday when I did it, so it could take me a few days to get back to someone. If I was writing back and forth with someone I really enjoyed talking to then I would probably make writing to them a little more of a priority. But it's silly to keep track of those things, in my opinion. What if you say someone should get back to you in 3 days, but a woman takes 4 days. Are you going to ignore her message because she took 1 day longer than the amount of time you decided is normal?

Mine was 35% match when I first found her profile. So much for their compatibility algorithm.
Bottom line, dudes, pursue the most mismatching once in a while, she may be more compatible than the other ones and could eventually become the love of your life.

Whenever you feel like it.
But if you wait 7 days, chances are slim she will respond.
If someone says you messaged them too soon, then you know there wasn't enough interest.
I have messaged anywhere from a minute after receiving a message, to over a week. I have received responses in both scenarios.
I have also never had a response following such. situations. It all depends if she likes you (well, your photo, and a 1-3 paragraph profile about you).

i'm not stuck on match %. i'll read the answers to questions, to see if there is something I can't live with. I don't see a problem with any of her answers. a lot of the questions aren't that important. I can see that, I may have a problem with an 85% and not with some who are 50%, depending on which questions were answered.

I agree. either they like you or they don't. there's not a whole lot you can do about it either way. but I can see how someone would change their mind if I took a week to get back.
It all depends on your intentions. For me, dating sites were nothing more than online booty call registries, so I would send out mass premade templates and respond to whoever responded to me pretty quickly. This is the best and most efficient way to do so.
If you're in it to get a real relationship, then I can't help. That was never my intention with those sites.

i'm more interested in dating and if we are a really good match, then a relationship. if I were looking for a fling or hook up, id go to a club. at a club, you know instantly if there is chemistry and you don't need to know much more. I like online dating for finding out more about someone before you meet them. The downside is that there may not be chemistry.
