How long is normal to wait for a reply?

Sent a message a few days back to someone whose profile I liked and haven't heard anything yet. I know everyone's got their own life going on, just wondered what people generally consider a reasonable amount of time before assuming it's a no.

I try not to read too much into a few days, people are busy. A couple of weeks with no reply at all and I'd probably move on, but that's just me.

Everyone's approach differs a fair bit here, some check messages daily and some far less often. Try not to take a slow reply personally, it's rarely about you specifically.
