When you are having convo on text or a messaging service are you happy just to let a text hang if you feel there is no reply necessary or you dont want to keep on texting or do you always feel you have to reply and hope that the other person will end it?

I always try to reply unless the last reply from the other person is like "oh" or "okay" or something. Depends on the situation and person though.

I tend to reply if it's a question, I find it kind of rude when people don't :fist:

what if its just a statement like
"God its windy today, nearly had my skirt blow up over my ears"
would that necessitate a reply?

If it's not a question, then I generally don't reply.

Depends on the conversation...or the time...or how busy I am...or who I am talking to
Sometimes I just leave statements hanging... sometimes I don't. Sometimes I answer a question...sometimes I don't. Idk if there are hard and fast rules to txting

Same, it's so rude.
And how do people ever have an actual conversation if they never reply unless it's a question? :suspect:

That's understandable if you are conversing with someone in a different time zone I suppose

Most of the time I'll reply at least once. Then I might just end it after that. But I actually just realized this morning when I texted a friend that I completely forgot to reply to his text from yesterday. :joker: Sometimes I'll mean to reply but I'm doing something and then I don't remember until I see it again much later/the next day or whatever. Not even sometimes, this happens with me A LOT.
It also depends how good or pointless the text is. :fan:

If the text requires an answer I'll answer it, pisses me off when you ask someone a question by text and they don't reply

Do you not communicate with those same people by text? :shrug:
+1 to those who always reply to questions
I think you can normally tell when a conversation has quite naturally reached its ending and when no further reply is necessary (i.e. not when someone has asked a question)

I find a smiley face usually suffices as a conversation ender :)
