I have a couple of questions for you don.
At what point does waiting to reply to a text become stupid and clunky? For example, a girl i'm texting at the moment takes a long time to reply, usually anywhere between 6-18 hours because she's busy at work during the day and with other commitments, as am i. Now i know that you're 'supposed' to wait around the same amount of time she took to text you, but in a scenario such as this you only exchange a couple of texts a day which draws conversations out over 2-3 days. To me this seems like it could be a hinderance. Thoughts?
Yes, it could be a problem.
But, first, there is no supposition related to wait around the same amount of time that a woman takes to text you, this isn't a watch and match competition going on here. She might have free time when she's texting you, but if you wait for hours and then reply back, that's gone and then, the same cycle repeats leading to 2-3 days long conversations with a low number of overall messages exchanged.
So, here's my advice. As soon as you get a text from her, reply to it. If she replies back, well.. you have a conversation with her. If she doesn't, who cares? Get busy with something more important, it will come eventually.

Also, when texting to arrange a meet up, what can you do if she responds negatively or not at all? Haven't got a response from one yet and just wanting to pre-empt a follow-up message.
Well, negative responses aren't good news. A no-response just means you need to have a greater amount of comfort equation with her, than you do currently. If she's not comfortable and doesn't have a general good feeling associated with you, she wouldn't want to meet you. It's that simple.
