Hello hello everyone! I'd like to ask for some advice regarding inactivity and whatnot.
For some context:
I'd just requested a RP from someone, and they'd accepted.
They had mentioned that they would be happy to roleplay as long as I could wait for a couple of days for replies. (This was around 1 week ago.) I told them it was all fine as long as they were able to communicate to me that it would take a bit longer otherwise.
A couple days later with no response and I decided to revive the chat to ask about the specifics of the roleplay and if they were still interested--to which they answered within the same day.
We were both excited to write when they asked who would start first. Their character was to be planned approaching the area before mine, so I asked if they were alright writing the starter.
Their last reply had been that they would try to write their starter in the next 24 hours, but it's been around 3 days. ^^ And well, they have been rather active since.
Being a nag is the last thing I would like to do, but when is it alright to give your partner a nudge? What kinds of rules for inactivity do you guys have?
Personally, I'm a bit distraught as to whether I should give up this roleplay before I get my hopes up too much; I was really excited to write with this person, but I enjoy communication and mutual interest above all else. I may sound a bit nippy after only 3 days, but it's bothered me how they never followed up after 24 hours to let me know if it would take longer. Are they no longer interested? Am I being too picky? Are they busy? I start to think I need to send them another message asking about their interest and availability, which leads me to believe I am being a nagger. I honestly would not mind waiting longer, but I dislike being ghosted or left on read.
What should I do?
Thanks,
MistaLuna
