My post was not clear. What I meant was can anyone understand why someone' would dump you because you had not sent a reply the same evening or before 9.45 the next morning? I am really puzzled

I recently had two dates with a delightful woman. We told each other how happy we were. I sent her a message the next morning and she replied at lunchtime before going out. At 8.30pm she sent a further short message. I couldn't reply that evening as I was with friends and my wife. When I sent a message the next morning at 9.45 I saw that one from her saying she got the message and was deleting my number. She has not read any subsequent messages. Can anyone explain this? Frequent messaging is nice but...

My IE guys have messaged every day at all times and I reciprocate, so as to build a rapport and connection.

Instant communication isn’t always present …think about it we can’t communicate with our OHs ..sometimes the banter/chat is brilliant on here but when you meet there is nothing there….some are better at it when there is ‘common ground’ and others can talk to the ‘butchers dog ‘…comms is an art form and sadly most people cannot have a ‘normal ‘ conversation..

The best way to communicate is to meet meet meet and only then will you really understand how it works…there is nothing like looking someone in the eye and you will find the conversation will/will not flow accordingly..

Think there is no hard and fast rule, you do eventually find a common pace of communication when the foundation of the relationship is set, takes time though. Also, more than frequency it’s how interesting and engaging are the topics which eventually does encourage the other person to feel more to be involved.

HS…

If you message her a lot less than you specified… it also means that you are not in this for the duration and I like a guy that makes an effort ..😉

This post is headlined "communication" ... why not start by communicating with your IE? First thing to check is which channel is safe, which times are safe, and then you can ask if he/she prefers you to remain fairly quiet or is happy to chat... This shouldn't even be a question in a debate as it is different for every couple!

Whatever works for the two of you.

You'll find a natural rhythm between each other. Stop overthinking and relax into it.
