How long before block/delete after ghosting

It really depends upon the relationship. If it's a romantic relationship, and he doesn't contact you everyday (unless he's deployed or something like that), he's with another woman. If it's a new guy, and you're not together at all and just trying to get to know one another, it's 2 weeks for me to block and delete. That said, a man who doesn't contact you for 2 weeks isn't all that interested, so be forewarned and keep dating other men so that you don't notice that ones gone. But I usually go with the 2 week rule for most men that I've just met and might be interested to date. Men who have physical access to your body had better be in contact daily and making an effort to take you out. Also, if you feel neglected by a guy, that's a sign he's not serious about you.

48 hours.

I would say 24 hours… if he is interested, you are on his mind, and his phone is in his hand many times during the day…. If he is playing games, deliberately not texting you. Also, boy bye. Think about in the future, would you like to go more than 24 hours without your boyfriend/husband texting or calling you?

I agree with what the others have said. 48hrs and thats it. I think 24hrs is already too much. Let's not forget we are always on or near our phones nowadays. There is no excuse not to contact someone you like.

As soon as you realize he ghosted. I go anywhere from 3-7 days depending on if I get caught up in things or not. Lots of times it's easier to delete a letter from his name per day- or each time you check your phone. And then when you're out of letters you delete the contact. And then you block the number from the messages and delete the thread

24 hours without contact means you might be of some use to him, but he doesn't really like you like that. 48 hours means he definitely doesn't give a fuck about you, and/or is with another woman he actually wants. 72+ hours.. come on. At that point, it's over completely, no matter which stage it is you two are in.

If it's in the very early stages, I can give up to 48 hours. If he gave me the heads up that something really busy or big/bad is happening and he really can't be talking to me, I'll give him the 72 hours, but that's it. If it's a relationship and he really did go 24 hours without talking to me, especially if it feels very unwarranted that he would do something like that, and it's a deal breaker. Dump and ghost.

Some guy you’ve just met’s number should be blocked and deleted the very first time his energy changes. Example of what “when his energy changes” means: let’s say he texts you something every morning, certainly by 10am. The very first day you didn’t get a text from him by 10am? Don’t let it strike midnight that day without having him blocked, sis!

This "the very first time his energy changes" boundary is how you will naturally cut off men who aren't legit gonna be head over heels for you.

I agree with the 48 hours rule especially if it’s someone who is interested in you and putting effort. I hate useless texting but if he is into you, he will call you or make plans. Disappearing for over two days will make me forget him so definitely block and delete then.

Between 24 hours to 3 days depending on the situation.

If he is very busy he should always communicating clearly. So vagueness=red flag= block.

He responded yesterday. But I am aware this likely isn’t going to work out, and isn’t worth pursuing. I am really disappointed since he seemed nice but alas. His energy changed completely after our Monday night date, to be fair it’s mostly my own fault for how I acted. I am low value still. But I don’t want to add salt to the wound by pursuing something that’ll just not work and make me feel worse.

Thank you all for your answers!
