How long do you wait for a girl to respond to a text message before you give up?

    So I ask this girl out through the phone (like a man) but she says she is busy so we reschedule it but says yes, says next time just text her. So I do and she has yet to respond. It's been two hours now.

    Do I still have to wait 24 hours at least or what?

    that b*tch!!! who does she think she is? j/k...

    2 hours is nothing, but i would imagine she needs at least a days heads up...don't blow up her phone wanting an answer...text her tomorrow...

    Two hours ain't a long time, maybe she takin a ****.
    Wait some more hours man. 24 hours is too much though, she should reply within ~8h in my opinion, if not she's obviously not interested.

    Persistence is the key. Give her a call, but don't pull a Mike.

    give up now then if she responds consider it bonus. definitely do not call or text her again. people rarely check a text then save it for a response later like email. if it comes up later and she asks why you didn't text or call more tell her you figured she was busy and you called someone else. a "friend"

    The fact that she said yes is an indicator that she likes you. There are various reasons why she might not respond. She could just not be ready to go on a date with you. If that is the case, just let it go. She probably isn't comfortable with a date with you right now.

    if you don't do anything stupid I imagine eventually she will go out with you. The main thing is not to seem eager, and by all means DO NOT KEEP ASKING HER. If she cancels this time, just say something like okay maybe some other time and leave it at that.

    2 hours isn't enough time. Don't text or call her back yet. You don't want to come across pushy or needy. You probably already know this....

    idk bro, maybe she was just scared of rejecting me on the phone so she instead came up with a way to ignore me w/o having to say or do anything by SPECIFICALLY telling me to text her and not call?

    not likely. girls don't agree to go out with you because they want to LET US DOWN EASY. That just don't happen. Think about it.

    sure they do, happens all the time.

    "sure of course i will go out with you, tonight? uhh no I am busy tonight but some other time OK? just text me so I don't need to think of an excuse on the phone, or I can just ignore it."

    all my opinion but I think you might still have a chance depending on how you proceed. being pushy or desperate is not the way lol

    You texted her once. Dont do it again until she responds. If she doesn't respond, move on.

    Where is your confidence man? Chicks smell that weakness like a shark smells blood in the water. It's a stink, get rid of it. Call her tomorrow... say, hey, I have reservations for Saturday night, what time should I pick you up? Don't let her play with your mind. Be a man, be assertive and get it done.

    I don't think that is confidence. I don't have a problem with your suggestion but moving on isn't a lack of confidence.

    I think you leaving opportunities on the table bro. you actually got her phone number and STILL didn't get the date. You must be asking her every weekend or something.

    i've never heard of a girl giving out her REAL phone number to a guy to let them down easy. It's all the way you approach the opportunity.

    my approach is totally different, I would have never left it at "text me later" I don't see a need for that, seems weird and awkward. What will change later? If she is actually busy the night I suggested, find another time. If no time can be found ("I am just really busy these days"), move on emotionally but still chat it up and stay in contact and see if it progresses.

    i'll be the realist. you got shot down. if a girl is interested she's not going to give the "i'm busy" excuse, she's going to do as much as she can to go on that date. she asking you to text her is her way of telling you "no", without telling you "no". she didn't want to hurt your feelings, so she's just going to ignore you. women look at their phones 5 times a minute. she's avoiding you.
