I am newly divorced and trying to get back in the game after roughly ten years. My buddies tell me that if a girl that u like texts u, the general rule is to take 15-20 minutes to respond. When she replies, if it took her 10 minutes, u are supposed to wait 20 minutes to reply back. This seems a little silly but so far it seems to work. Is this standard practice for most people these days?

Spell out 'you' and 'are' for starters

i have never/would never follow that shite. I guess i dont double text bc i dont text people whom don't respond, but that rule shite goes out the window if you are actually attractive and/or the girl likes you

What are you going to do with all the time you're saving by not spelling them out?

don't put a time limit on it, but generally yeah, once you get the text just put your phone down for a bit, pick it back up sometime later and text back. Make it seem like you're not that interested

You're actually supposed to wait 3 days before responding.

Last thing you want to do is seem too eager.

Tell her that you have no plans and are free anytime she wants to hang out. No matter what you will drop everything and see her. She will know you care about her

If you like her, show her interest. If she likes you she will show it back. Don't wait any certain amount of time, but don't sit by your phone and wait either. Live your life, include conversations in it. If she gets weird about you showing interest she isn't worth your time anyway. Nobody has time to deal with petty.

Also, talk normally. There is nothing more aggravating than getting a text that says, "U on ur way yet? Gonna b L8". Make complete sentences, we don't have to push buttons anymore.

If you are old enough to have been divorced, you are old enough to discard silly games.

Text them whenever you feel like it. Be yourself. Unless yourself is creepy.
