Maybe I'm just too impatient

[mousme]

Okay, let's postulate for a moment. One sends an email that one has spent days thinking about and composing in one's head and worrying about.

How long after sending this email should one wait before giving up on the idea of ever getting an answer?

Let's add to this that the recipient of the email, in theory, checks his email at least once a day, and usually a lot more often than that.

The longer this drags out, the more I'm tempted to throw in the towel. Not that I have intimacy issues and nearly always end up with people who can't communicate properly. No. Not at all. :P

Clearly, instant gratification takes too long for me.

*sigh*

People are complicated.

I'd probably send a reminder at 4 days myself (something ala 'I emailed you the other day and I haven't gotten a reply yet. You okay?') then kick them to the curb if they then don't respond by day 7 from the original email.

But then, I'm also trying to crack down on the amount of running around after people that I do :P
