How do you react when someone doesn’t answer you on WhatsApp?
I mean, if you REALLY haven't received a response—for example, after a few days—do you follow up, even if it's not that important?
Do you think it's realistic that the other person might have wanted to respond later but then forgot? I have a really hard time with that.
Most respond after a short time. Or in the course of the day if it doesn’t fit. possible doctor visits, authorities or the like.
Even if they are on the go or on holiday, I do not expect them to respond immediately. I usually know.
And if someone takes a lot longer, well. If it’s important, he’ll report and make it clear.
There is no compulsion to answer. With my girlfriends, it’s so fast, sometimes slow, sometimes not. I’m not wrong. There is also a life outside of WhatsApp and that is often more important. I still keep writing to the non-answers when there’s something to say. Sometimes a message comes and sometimes we just see ourselves in real, but then don’t talk about WhatsApp messages.
It depends on the person. I know that my sister, for example, reads news immediately but only answers 2 to 3 days later and that’s okay for me. My friends and colleagues read messages only when they have time to respond directly.
If it’s not important, I’d just wait for a few days to ask.
This person I mean usually doesn’t answer so quickly. She said sometimes forget that she hasn’t answered yet. It is difficult to say whether it is oblivion or ignorance, but I actually have a very good relationship with this person.
If the relationship is good, I wouldn’t mind. If it’s important, you’ll be able to talk to the person again.
If it is important to me, I would ask the question again.
It can happen that people have forgotten to answer or have not answered for any other reason. It happens more often to me.
Regarding the forgotten.. You go to a chat by asking a question, will be distracted and will not think about it afterwards. If you want to know the reasons, contact the person.

Your question/description seems to have changed.
If I want to have contact with the person or if the concern was very important to me, I will report again. If it doesn’t matter to me, I’ll wait until the person gets in touch with me at some point.
I’ll write the person after a couple of days and ask what was going on. If nothing comes then I may call and ask the person Personal
If it’s important, I’ll call. It’s not that hard. Smartphones are supposed to have this function.
In such a case, I don’t wait days, weeks or forever for an answer.
No.
Yeah, I’ll ask. If there is no answer for a very long time and I don’t see the person, I’ll ask acquaintances.
I catch and wait a few days
. You can get sick too. I ask whether there is still an interest in communication after two weeks, then I remove the contact.
I already know my poplars from whom I know that they answer only after laaaanger time. Patience is in demand.
