Double texting on Tinder

Start by rereading what she said before you sent your first text. If she asked you something, your first message was the answer and the silence is either her being busy or the conversation having run its course. If she made a statement and you replied with a comment, the thread may simply have stopped moving, because a comment gives her nothing to answer. The distinction matters because a second text should answer the question of what kind of message she can respond to. Look too at her profile and how quickly she replied before. Someone who usually answers within an hour and then goes quiet for two days is telling you something different from someone who has always been slow.

If she has been quiet for less than a day, or her replies have always come in bursts, a second text is not a verdict on anything. It's just a way to keep the thread alive.

A second message works when it gives her something specific to respond to. One type builds on something from her profile you haven't mentioned yet, so the message reads as attention rather than repetition. Another type is a light question that is easy to answer in one line and doesn't ask her to make a decision or explain herself. A third type shares a small observation or a bit of your day that leaves room for her to add her own. In each case the draft should be short, carry one idea, and end in a place where she can easily answer. Leave out any reference to her not replying, any apology, and any restatement of your first message. If you can't say what she would reply to, the draft probably isn't ready.

Send the second message in the afternoon or early evening, when people are usually on their phones but not in bed. Don't send it within a few hours of the first one, and don't send it at night, since late messages tend to read as either bored or eager. If she doesn't answer the second message either, don't send a third immediately. One follow-up after a reasonable gap is normal, and two unanswered texts is a clear enough signal that she isn't engaged right now. At that point, let it go. You can match again later if she messages first or if you see a clear reason to reopen the conversation, but a third push almost always makes you look worse without changing her answer.
