You sent a great opening message, the read receipt triggered, but you got no reply.
You sent a great opening message, the read receipt triggered, but you got no reply. Do you double text?The answer is: Wait 48 hours. People have jobs, emergencies, and lives offline. If two days pass, send one—and only one—polite follow-up message. Something like: 'Hey, I know life gets busy, but I am still really interested in connecting if you are!'
If they ignore the second message, close the chat and move on gracefully. Repeatedly messaging an unresponsive profile crosses the line from persistence into digital harassment.
