How many chances do you give a guy/gal to respond to your mail? So you're chatting with someone, who reads your last mail, but don't reply, even though they are or have been online since reading your message. Personaly, I wait a few days, then give it another try. If they read again and not reply, then I don't bother them again, as their not replying says for me that they're not interested in continuing the contact. What do you do?
