Guys/Gals, if you really like someone (you are not in a relationship with yet), how long does it take for you to reply?
Would you be upset if someone doesn't return your call/text within 24 hours?
For me, he/she had to see the missed call/text within 24 hours and not reaching back within that time frame means it's a clear sign that person is not interested. What do you think?
Sometimes I don't respond for 48 hours... if the person called or texted to my cell. My cell (no ones cell) works in my house (I live in a dead zone). So if I stay home on a weekend to do something around the house, I can easily miss a call or text (and have on several occasions). But that's me and my weird little house in the middle of a dead zone.
Otherwise, I usually reply first time I get a chance. It could be right away to hours later (depending on if I am at work, driving, it's the middle of the night when I get a message and I wait until morning, etc). I would think that would be a more normal response from someone (who doesn't live in a dead zone, lol).

If anybody (friend, coworker, family member) didn't respond to my text/call within 24-48 hours, it's pretty sh@tty.
But if it was someone I had romantic interest in, I would think either they are not interested and inconsiderate for 'ghosting me' or interested but too inconsiderate to spend 30 seconds to reply in text.
If they got back to me later, then that might be OK. But I won't chase.
I don't usually wander away from my phone for more than a few hours at a time, so I would say within a few hours. A lot of times I'm able to reply within a few minutes especially if it's someone I really want to talk to.

Are you male or female?

Okay, I wander away from my phone. I usually don't see message/missed call until before I go to bed, which can be pretty late. So I usually don't return a call until next morning.

Ignoring texts is something I don't do because so many people do it to me, and it pisses me off. Along with people saying they are going to call me and they don't. I'm talking in a totally non-romantic sense.
I've never had the pleasure of rejecting somebody in the 'dating' stage, but if I did, I would not just ignore them and pretend they were not there. To me, these are all kind of little things that are kind of important.
Of course, I don't have a lot of options and rarely more than one, but women typically do, and if I did, I wouldn't put up with that.

Depends on what I'm doing, but usually as soon as I can.

I would wonder why there's a late response, but I wouldn't be upset. I'd just do something else.

How do you know the guy (I'm assuming this is a guy) saw the text/call? Also, what was the nature of it? Sometimes when I get random texts from friends that don't require a timely response I may respond the next day. Even if the guy saw it it's not like he's obligated to drop everything to respond when you want him to.
It's all about context. Not everyone behaves the same way in similar situations.
I should also mention that I'm usually pretty good about responding to texts fast, especially from my girlfriend. However, I know the world doesn't revolve around me and sometimes things come up.

He asked me to call him today. I did. But he did not pick up .
