How long should I wait to text back..

27 hours, 13 minutes and 43 seconds or you'll look needy.

Or, you know, when you want to.

Give it at least half a day.

But in general, don’t be the guy who monitors the response time of every text.

Reply when you want, actually be busy doing stuff that would cause delayed and sporadic replies eg lifting, talking to other girls etc.

Stop thinking about when to text back and just text back when you feel like it. Don't be glued to your phone, be busy living your life, don't let your phone interrupt you from living your life.

Hit her up. Keep text messages short and minimal.. maybe 7 before telling her logistics to meet. If she is still hesitant move on to the next girl then hit this girl up in the future

Whenever you want.

Pay attention to her enthusiasm levels and if you think she's feeling suffocated pull back for a while

I'd answer immediately because I don't give a fuck. If you have what matters, little gibberish like this won't have any effects.

You're in her frame already buddy. You just talked to this chick online and you're already using words like "stunning" to describe someone you ain't even met? Deliberately waiting x amount of hours before texting her back is one of the most beta/bluepill things you can do. Planning your every little move to get the safest and most optimal result is the ultimate outcome dependent move and shows scarcity mindset. You want a computer algorithm that'll give you the most optimal length of time you make her wait before sending the next text right down to the nanoseconds?

When folks here say don't be texting her immediately what they actually mean is if you're occupied with your own shit at the moment don't bother dropping what you're doing at the moment to start a conversation with her. Your time is more important than her time. But if you're on the toilet taking a shit while looking at your phone and she just happens to send you a text? Yeah, nothing wrong with texting her back immediately because that's when you actually have time to respond.

Stopped reading at “I’m talking to this girl online.”

To what end?

Why are you wasting your time chatting to some imaginary sheila online? Why are you spending energy thinking about how long you should take to reply instead of approaching women in the real world with whom you might actually build attraction and get somewhere?

This is a waste of resources. You're investing in a product that doesn't exist.

You should text back as soon as you feel like it and have the time and energy too.

Just be so involved with living life that you're not sitting by the phone waiting. If youre texting back too quickly then you need to find a hobby
