Probably the most likely reason for slower responses is that the person you're talking to is not as interested in you as you are in them. They may just be trying to be nice by not just blowing you off.

How long should I wait for a reply on Bumble?

If you don't have First Move privileges you have to wait for the other user to send the first message. Once they do you will be able to reply to them to lock in your connection. Remember: You have 24 hours to respond to a First Move!

Why does it take so long for some people to text back?
