I am just wondering what's the customary wait time after you send your appointment request with all screening info. It seems to me that every time that I don't hear anything (no hello, no acknowledgement of my email request, nothing) for 24 hours, there's never going to be a reply. What do you, ladies & gent, feel is a reasonable amount of a wait time? 24, 48, 72 hours?

they is my priority since they are providing personal information without ever meeting me.  i never go longer than 12 hours without sending a reply of whether or not they met my screening standards.

not getting back to someone is just bad manners/business...

Imagine the dilemma of a woman tring to figure out  how to blow off guys like cornbeef and crackerbarrell after reading their up tight psycho know it all posts?  Tick tock how do I tell them to go away, without some weird, stalkerish cyber attack?

Thank you for the clear and intelligent answer.

I was wondering how long to wait before I move on to my next choice. When there's no response at all, I don't think I would want to continue because she's either very busy, flaky, or retired. I feel there's a high probability the whole experience will follow the same pattern (late show, no show, etc.). 24 to 48 hours sounds more than reasonable to me.
