I've had a decent conversation going with someone on Plenty of Fish, then suddenly... silence. How long should I wait before giving up?

When a Plenty of Fish conversation stalls, it's natural to wonder when to give up. Before following up, wait 24-48 hours after your last message. A friendly message works in this context.

If they haven't responded in 48 hours and show no interest, they may have lost interest. You can send one last message, but if no one responds, you should move on.

Avoid double texting, which can be off-putting. If the conversation mentions a busy week, don't assume disinterest. Keep an open mind and focus on other conversations or Plenty of Fish matches to avoid dwelling on the silence.

We value your input, so please leave a comment to keep the conversation going.
