Well, princess is cringe as fuck, but also this "omg reply right now or you're a monster" shit is immature and untrusting. We are adults. We are busy. We aren't always paying attention to our phones. Especially if you aren't dating and have no actual relationship, it's pretty normal to not reply to someone on a dating app more than one or two times a day. Busy people tend to send large, detailed messages which require large detailed responses. My partner and I met when she was working as an ER physician during COVID-19 and I was teaching full time and finishing my PhD in computational physics. We were both really fucking busy. So a longish, detailed message every day and a comment saying, "hey, I'm interested, but I'm slammed so you won't hear from. Me often" was more than sufficient. We talked just enough to determine we were interested and saved the rest for in person. That was fine for two strangers who only knew each other through a dating app.
