Message timing, what does it mean if he replies in a minute or in a day?

In the world of online dating sites for singles, response time is almost the language of love. Responded in a minute? Looks like he's sitting with his phone in his hand and already making plans. Disappeared for a day? Well, that means either work has delayed him, or he's rehearsing the role of a mysterious stranger.

On online dating services, such "timings" can decide the fate of correspondence. A quick response is often read as interest and openness, and a long break as an attempt to show importance or just forgetfulness.

Some on online dating sites USA joke that if a guy writes instantly, it means he's either really in love, or he has unlimited internet. And they say that there are even unspoken rules: don't reply too quickly, so as not to look desperate and don't wait too long, so as not to lose interest!

The truth is that we always read between the lines, or, more precisely, between the hours. And the main question remains open: if a message came in a minute, is it fate... or just good Wi-Fi speed?

    ID: 295
    Hello, today I want to talk about something very personal the female figure. So often women are told how they should look. Too slim, too curvy, too tall, too short... it feels like there is always something to criticize. From a young age, many of us learn to compare ourselves with others instead of listening to our own bodies. For me, a female figure is not about numbers, sizes, or trends. I...

    ID: 414
    Hello, my name is Ivanna, and today I want to share a small piece of my mood. Winter is here, and I have to admit I miss summer a lot. I miss warm mornings, light dresses, open windows, and the feeling that the day is long and full of possibilities. Now everything outside is cold, gray, and quiet.
