Just a question, When you send an E mail to someone, how long do you wait for a response? 1 Day / 1 Week/ 1 Month?
How long do you take to answer after you have read someones E mail?
How about when you have seen them on line over the course of awaiting their response, see that they have read your e mail, and they still have not responded to you?
Would you feel they were not interested?
Just a question, and thought of e mail etiquette.

We try to respond as soon as possible sometimes thats a couple days but i feel that after a week they are just not interested......That being said we do have some friends who only get on swingular about once or twice a month so i guess it just depends...
We try to respond as soon as we know we have mail not matter if we are interested or not. What I hate is when someone sends an email and says they would like to meet and then when you send an email to try and set it up they don't respond. Kind of like they fell off the face of the earth. Also if they want to exchange pictures but never send you any in return that's a bunch of crap in my book. It's not like we are ugly or anything we are just normal.
We tend to respond to emails together, so we both can put what we think in the message. Either one of us may read the message, and not respond to it for a few days, until we are both at the computer.
As far as sending and waiting for others, we just let it be. If they respond then they are in for a treat. If they don't well they are going to miss out!

I try to respond to emails as soon as I read them but sometimes I am checking from my mobile phone and so its alot harder to respond. With my busy life working alot and bein with my kids I am sometimes only able to check the email then i respond later when I get the chance. i am also the same way when i get text messages. Alot of my friends often wonder if im alive cuz i dont respond back for a cpl of days sometimes. But i dont like to text while driving which I do plenty of lol. I know we all lead busy lives and so I usually dont feel too bad when someone doesnt respond to my messages right away because I also know how busy I am. I dont judge the time of the response because I dont know how their life is and what kind of time they have to be able to respond especially when you have kids lol.
A few days is understandable. Read the email, view the profile and decide whether or not you want to begin a chat, email exchange or get together. Of course, consult with the better half. What really gets to us is when we never receive a reply to an email/introduction. Not even a simple "thanks for the note, but not interested", ya know? We try to respond as quick as possible. I receive the notifications on my phone and text the wife to let her know. That evening we sit down and check it all out and decide. Draft a response and send it out. That is just us, though. We realize that lives get crazy and that a timely response is not always practical. We are lucky enough to be able to do it.
We've been in the lifestyle for quite awhile so we don't often go looking anymore - we have a lot of great friends who we love to get together with. Because of our busy life, sometimes it's difficult to reply . . . I hate to admit it, but there are times when we don't get back to people for several weeks, especially during the summer and holidays. When sending messages to new people, we don't really worry about it too much . . . if we get a response, great! If we don't, we move on. The funny thing is that we often meet the couples we haven't heard from at a house party or other event . . . so it often all works out in the end! Good luck in finding your adventures!
We agree with MIKESARA,as we are in this together as a couple, we always make sure we are in agreement with how we want to respond. For us, it just assures that we both know what's been said and what the expectations are.
We respond within a week if it warrants a response. (Some emails are just so simple else i know they're a mass sent thing). Usually it's within the day, but on occasion I don't log in for a while.
And if someone doesn't respond to me... I figure they weren't interested. S'all good.

Basically, we have found it to be true that if someone is truly interested you can tell, because they will go out of there way to get back to you very quickly.
Sad but simple truth (but we are very direct and truthful people) and we use that as a guide as to how seriously (or not) to take people!

Well all of you summed it up pretty much exactly how we feel.
We even will send another E mail after no response, wishing them good luck in their search.
Thanks for all the input.

hi all, mmm usually 3-5 days.... when we both used to get time to be on puter (when we were dsfun2day)... and we would reply even if its a no thanks, you seem to not be our type. D.
I try to respond the day I read it. Sometimes I need to wait until the next time I am on. On the other hand there are many that never respond to emails on here. How hard is it to say thanks but no thanks?

No response within a few days, especially if we saw they had read our e-mail, means not interested. We are smart enough to figure that no response is another way of saying no thanks, so we don`t need an e-mail back confirming that.
I open the e-mails on our end and will go over every one with the Mrs. before responding. We don`t log on that often anymore, but if you see we have read your e-mail, a response should be recieved within a day or so.
