From what I've seen, most of the responses I receive are about 2 days after I send them. This has been true for about 90% of the responses I get. Is it normal to wait that long to send them back? I work on the computer so I can respond right away..
Or maybe I'm just ugly and they don't wanna respond right away
I waited three days to say anything to my now boyfriend. I would normally respond when I saw it, whether it was if I liked the person or not. He was not what I was looking for, and he was pretty far from where I was looking to drive.
I kept going back and looking at his profile and he seemed to be a pretty down to earth nice man so I finally said something to him and so glad I did.
Dude, I respond when I have time. That might be a week from the original email. I've also had guys get back to me THREE WEEKS after I contacted them.
Sometimes I take a while because I might be going on dates with three or four different guys, and I don't want to add someone new into what is already a confusing picture.

It's not your looks...at least I wouldn't think so.
I'm thinking it must be they are interested, but don't want to look too interested for fear that they will lose "control". They could really be busy too and that is the first time they had time to sit down and catch up with profiles and e-mails.
If I were on a dating site, I'd just respond when I read the e-mail. People that play games annoy the pyss out of me, so I won't do that to others.
If I was too busy to date, I wouldn't get on a dating website. If I was on there, I would respond right away if I liked the guy. I don't understand why people play games and wait.

I always respond within 12 hours or less if I'm interested. To me, frequently responding after two days would be a sign of low interest.
When I dated online, I gave it a day or two, especially if I knew they read my email. After two days, I moved on. As someone stated if they liked you or were interested they would have responded right away.
I generally signed on every other day or so, but after the first couple emails from my now-girlfriend we were messaging every day. Depending on when she had sent me a message, she could expect an answer either within a few hours or a day or two. I think people generally worry about this type of thing too much.
She, on the other hand, would wait at the beginning. But after a few emails she started to become very interested and told me she couldn't help messaging me as soon as I sent her something.
I think that many women would wait a day or two b/c they wouldn't want to appear to be too eager or as if their mailbox wasn't full to the brim. I'm only guessing but I'm a woman.
