I know a lot of people that are unable to text during working hours (first responders, people who work in secure areas so they can't have their phone, etc.)   [/quote]

That's ridiculous.  I would not want to ever date someone again if they expected me to text back within two hours of getting off work. I often don't even look at my phone until at least two or three hours after leaving work, and returning texts is not always my first priority, especially when I have 20+ texts, 100+ personal emails, and a few phone calls to review/return.

I think 24 hours is fair.[/quote]

If you take 24 hours to return a text, you’re just not that into them.[/quote]

Seriously. If you really like someone, you prioritise them. [/quote]

After 1 or 2 dates? You barely know each other. The only reason to text is to ask them to go on another date, and it can easily take a day or two. They have work, maybe meeting up with friends and can’t respond, need to check their schedule, etc.

I’d be pretty upset if someone expected an immediate response after one date. I’m not into being at someone’s beck and call. [/quote]

Texting back only takes literally a few seconds. I’m sure people can manage that if they actually like someone. [/quote]
