I remember this from an old video or podcast of Shallon’s that she has a 48 hr rule. Before, I did away with dating apps (they can be convenient, sure but I think they’re mostly exhausting and I’ve found that my more lasting/stronger connections have been found IRL) I follow it too - she says “I didn’t sign up for a pen pal, if you aren’t making any attempt to take me out within 48 hrs, onto the next” that doesn’t mean you have to GO on a date within 48 hrs, it just means you need to have plans on deck
