I respond when I receive an offer, but when they send me details like the date and location, I sometimes leave the message on read because I assume they’re busy too. Does that come across as rude...?

Wouldn’t you normally reply with something like “Okay, I understand”?

Rather than being about seeming rude, it’s really a matter of professional etiquette: you should reply, even if it’s just a short message.
Replying won’t hurt you, but not replying can sometimes work against you.
Similarly, after going on a date with a man, women will usually send a thank-you message on LINE. Failing to do that often leads to a lower opinion of you.

I think leaving someone on read is rude. Pretending it’s because you assume they’re busy is even worse.

If a message shows as read, I assume they’ve seen it, but I do think it’s more considerate to reply.
Also, I seem to remember staff comments on profile pages occasionally mentioning whether someone is good or bad at responding on LINE, so I think replying properly leaves a better impression.
And personally, I wouldn’t want to date someone who leaves me on read while pretending it’s out of consideration because they assume I’m busy. It comes across as rude.
