24 hour reply rule
When you send somebody a text message and they do not reply within 24 hours there is a 95% chance that they readeleted your text and have willfully chosen not to reply
There is a less than 5% chance that they have lost their phone/phone was stolen, have been busy for a full 24 hours (so they couldn't even use their phone for 5 seconds, cause that's all it takes) or sent the message but the "delivery failed".
If it has been 24 hours and they have not replied, that's when you begin the 7 day reply test to confirm whether they want to text you or not.
