How long should I wait to email someone again if they haven't responded to last email agreeing to meet them.

Question

I met someone online and communicated on a dating website. We exchanged personal emails becasue my subscription was up. I went on vacation last week and while I was gone, he emailed my personal address and asked to meet up when I returned. I sent him an email agreeing to meet and to let me know his availablility, and haven't heard back. It has been 5 days. When is it too soon to say hi and asking if they are still interested? A week? Just FYI, our communications were usually 2-3 days apart. I'm new to all this, and don't want to seem over eager. :-)
Thanks.

Answer 1

I'd wait a week. Email again Wenseday or Thursday.

Answer 2

I am not an expert on dating, esp. on-line, but I do know something about response times in on-line communication. If usually it took him 2-3 days to reply, it is OK to resend the message after a few days (5-7 is perfectly reasonable). I would recommend that you forward the same message and ask him if he has seen your response, explaining that you did not hear back from him, and was wondering if he has received the message. Do this in one short sentence, and send.



Why is this my recommendation? It is possible that he too has been away, and your email disappeared in a pile of other email. There is also the possibility your email about dating was identified as spam by a spam filter. That's why I recommend that if he does not respond to the forward, and if you have an alternative way to contact him, give it another try. Do remember that if *he* is not seeing your responses to him then he is in a situation that he sent you an invitation to meet, and did not get a response.



Hope this helps!

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.



If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.



Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.



Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.



Stop trying to change = yourselves for a relationship that's not meant to be.



Slower is better.



Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.



If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.



Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.



Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.



The only person you can control in a relationship is you.



Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. They don't respect women or children. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, Why would he treat you any differently?



Always have your own set of friends separate from his.



Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.



If something bothers you, speak up.



Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.



You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within.



Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...even if he has more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.



Never let a man define who you are.



Never borrow someone else's man.



Oh Lord! If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.



A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.



All men are NOT dogs.



You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is a two-way street.



You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship



You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary.



Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr.. Right.



Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him- he takes it for granted.



Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.



Keep him in your radar but get to know others.

The ball is in his court "per say", so I wouldn't really worry about it for now. I am sure he probably has a good explainatiion as to why it's taking him so long to keep in contact with you. He might be busy with some things or he might have just changed his min. I know it's hard not to think about it, but don't expect too much from it either. You guys haven't even met, don't get too involved right yet.

Answer 5

do you recognize this guy or woman's finished call and city the place he lives. if so, verify him out. do you recognize precisely what variety of interest he has? Has he stated his relatives? the reason I ask this question is that there are a number of gamers obtainable who've fake lives on the internet and it appears that evidently they are married or something else. It sounds like he's making excuses to maintain up the pretense? Sorry, i'm hoping i'm incorrect on your sake. solid success

Answer 6

Hey!

You could send him an email just saying "What's up? Haven't heard from you-is everything okay," kind of thing. Try not to seem to worried or worked up. You could wait just one or two more days, he might write back.

Best of luck!

Answer 7

im glad you said they were 2-3 days apart because that means that he probably has just been busy. i would send another email tomorrow. if he responds then i would respond immediately because then he will likely do the same. if he doesnt respond then im sorry just be patient and dont assume that he hates you.

Answer 8

100 years

Answer 9

I think 5 days is enough. If he is really into you he'll be happy to hear from you.

Answer 10

Wait for him to answer back.
