It’s a common conundrum: you’ve just been on a first date, and you’re wondering when to send a text. You may have found this article while searching for advice on the subject. Unfortunately, texting isn’t a science; as you know may have figured out, there’s no real answer to this question that will apply to every situation.
I’m going to give you what I think is the best advice on this topic, based on my own personal experiences. With any luck, you’ll be able to read a few of these suggestions on what you should say and when you should say it, and you’ll be able to take it from there.
Text messaging is a fairly new phenomenon; it was only introduced about ten years ago, but it’s become a very important method of communication since then.
In the days before people used text messages to contact each other quickly, most people called a day or two after a date to talk a little more and to let the other person know that they had a great time together. This is still acceptable, of course, but many people prefer the ease and simplicity of a text message to communicate after a date.
The whole dynamic around contacting your date has changed thanks to text messages, and it can be difficult trying to figure out exactly when to send a message.
The best advice I can give is to send a short text message within 24 hours of the end of the date. The key is to keep the message short; you can even send it the same night if you’d like.
A text message within this time period should be humorous and fun. One easy way to send a message like this is to reference something that happened on a date. It’s not necessary to come out and say that you had fun on the date, because you’re already saying that simply by sending the message.
By sending a message after the date, you’ll be starting a new conversation that can be continued at your leisure. You can also use this text conversation to build up to the next phone call.
When you do call after a day or two, you’ll find it easier to carry on a conversation since you’ll certainly learn more about the other person through your text conversations.
