Double Texting on Dating Apps: Good or Bad?
What double texting actually signals
Double texting simply means sending a second message before getting a reply to your first. The stigma around it is overblown. In many cases, a well-timed second message shows confidence and genuine interest rather than desperation. Context is everything.
When double texting works in your favor
If your first message was bland or got lost in their inbox, a second message with a completely different angle can work. Wait at least 2 days, then send something new rather than "did you see my message?" A funny observation or an interesting question gives them a fresh reason to engage.

Fix My ProfileWhen you should not double text
Avoid double texting if someone has already left you on read after multiple messages. Sending three or four unanswered messages in a row crosses the line from persistent to pushy. If they are not responding, it is better to focus on new matches. Dateup can help you improve your opening messages so you need fewer follow-ups.
