silly question but it is eating at me.

sent a message on sunday. good one, i think. specific, referenced two things on her profile, asked something easy. it has been six days.

she has been active, because the little marker says so. which means either she has not opened it, or she opened it and has not decided, or she opened it and decided and this is the decision.

my brain has produced all three of those on rotation for six days.

so what is everyone’s actual cutoff before you write it off? and does anyone ever send a second message, or is that always a mistake? i have drafted one twice and deleted it both times, which is possibly the only sensible thing i have done all week.

What the handbook says about this

Both halves of the problem end up on this board: a profile that says nothing, and an opener that goes nowhere. Underneath both is usually the same worry about being found by the wrong person, so that one is here too.
