How long should one wait after sending an email to a woman I am interested in?

I went to a match.com event the other night and met two women who I found very attractive and we started to talk. I became facebook friends with one of them. As I left I told myself I am very interested in her and was excited about myself because it is hard for me to open up to people.

Well, I waited the 48 hours before sending her a little note saying I had fun getting to know her and would love to hang out with her again.

How long should I wait for a response before I get the hint that she is not interested in me and will not tell me?

    So I guess you don't have his phone number? I would write again and say something like. I think we had a really good time last time we met and I would like to meet again. If I don't hear from you I will assume that you are not interested. Even if you don't respond, enjoy life and everything it has to offer. It was a pleasure to get to know you. With an email like that, no response means he is not interested.

    if she is interested then she will let you know , you do not want to come off being needy , believe me if a guy keeps bugging me I run as fast as I can , so wait if she doesn't call you then you know to move on ,

    women hate needy guys , it tells us we will end up being the mother figure in your life as to being your mate ,

    allow her to think about you and the meeting you two had ,watch the you tube in how to get her with out being or coming off as a needy guy , it might help or not ,

    for me I don't call until a few days later and sometimes I just see how much he might be into me , nut I call with in s good time frame any way good luck

    wait as long as it takes. if she responds even after like a week and agrees to hangout thats still a good sign cuz she replied. if she doesnt respond at all or say she is really busy but maybe. dont even waste your time. trust me if a girl says maybe she is playing games with you and the best thing to do it ignore it till she contacts you again. cuz adults dont play games anymore. maybe next time dont email and send a text or message them on facebook. its more personal and a lot less creepy. cuz email is usually for business not romance. then again i dont know how online dating works. but good luck

    Just wait for however long it takes, also if you at some point find yourself contacting her any other way stop and look at yourself. One is enough, don't doubt that.

    48 hours!?

    Who told you to wait that long?

    She's forgotten who you are already.

    I would wait at least a day or two.

    If she has not responded, how about just moving on. Do not be needy. Good luck!

    does response time really matter its not like she is Omnipresence she might not notice it because of whatever is happening in her life maybe you should see if you like her using other factors
