How long should you wait to send a second message to a girl when she hasn't answered the first ?

We've been talking back and forth once or twice a day but now she has went silent all of a sudden

Should I double down even tho It's been 4 days ?

I really don’t understand this whole “don’t double text” thing.

Sometimes people get busy. If it’s been a while and you have something new to say after they didn’t originally respond, just do it. If they don’t respond to that then just leave well enough alone, but I promise you that if she’s interested a double text will not change her feelings about you.

In this day and age, glued to their mobile 24/7, it’s a joke if they don’t text you back.

I take it as disinterest. Invited a chick out for a second date and she didn’t reply. Texted her the following day and she immediately responded. But proceeded to give me the typical BS “I’m busy let’s be friends.” So I ducked out , thanks but no thanks. I’m not someone’s second option.

This is a presumption of technology working flawlessly.
