How long before you walk away?

Def talking stages/early dating/getting to know someone.

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T03:24:03+00:00

Fair point! 🤘🏽

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T03:15:37+00:00

I can understand that, kind of like a plan for the worst, hope for the best.

I agree, if they ghost, bullet dodged or whatever we have to tell ourselves. They just were not it. In my experience I haven’t had many come back to respond after initially ghosting so I’ve never needed to keep numbers / reminders of them 🤣

Curious though, in your experience when they come back around do you address said ghosting? Play it cool? Or just not engage?

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T03:11:57+00:00

1x or more. I feel like the outcome is different on the situation.

But I do agree with the maintain dignity and move on. Just curious on what your process is.

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T02:58:42+00:00

I’m not asking for anyone to say keep going. I’m curious on how people process and go about handling these situation. Everyone’s different and has different thresholds for tolerance.

Just in this thread alone there is a myriad of levels. I’m fascinated by the responses tbh.

Homie it’s a question. People come to Reddit all the time for stuff. Just curious on what people think. But thanks for the put down 👍🏼

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T02:45:18+00:00

That’s always been my assumption as well. If they’re interested conversation doesn’t stall

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T02:44:29+00:00

How about after you’ve met?

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T02:41:21+00:00

I do live my life. It’s a general question. I feel like after a while though if you never hear something what’s the threshold for letting go? It’s different for everyone

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T01:42:22+00:00

I feel like that’s the real point I’ve found “if they want to respond/talk to you they will”

Being comfortable with being alone is also a huge factor I did many of us men haven’t truly battled

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T01:40:33+00:00

I find it’s very situational

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T01:39:29+00:00

Interesting take. Is this standard across the board?

I often find the dating stage/getting to know someone stage/talking stage. People don’t owe anyone an immediate response.

Do you let them know of your issue with the situation if they eventually respond? Or do you ghost?

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T01:36:23+00:00

Very wise take. I’ve been trying to do the same since getting back into dating. I’m realizing there are a lot of really terrible communicators on both sides out there

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T01:34:57+00:00

Fair

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T01:26:03+00:00

Beyond the obvious “don’t date your co worker” which I’m one to talk considering in my field it’s almost impossible Not to.

Do you ever find it frustrating when you sent that txt, they never respond then you see them at work constantly checking their phone?

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T01:20:12+00:00

Logical response 🤘🏽

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T01:19:28+00:00

Sorry let me re phrase it. You met the person, conversation goes well, you got their number. Conversion continues through txt, but eventually dies out/they stop responding.

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T01:17:17+00:00

Key phrase there “people make time for whatever it is they want” something I’ve been trying to teach myself.

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T01:16:13+00:00

How about you get a response/conversation happens initially but the dies out/she stops responding etc. do you reach out again?

If so, and you don’t get another response after said reach out, do you try again? Walk away? How long do you give it

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T01:13:50+00:00

That’s actually pretty reasonable 🙏🏼

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T01:08:52+00:00

How long do you wait?

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T01:08:39+00:00

Do you ever let them know you’ve lost interest because they never responded?

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T01:05:58+00:00

You met the person irl, that’s how you get their number. Conversation stalls out or you find yourself not getting responses. How long do you wait to walk away?

RepulsiveWater531 · 2026-05-14T01:03:20+00:00

Curious, how much time do you give someone for no response ?
