When Do You Text Message Someone Following The First Date?

If you’re reading this article, it’s likely that you’ve recently been on a first date and are wondering when would be a good time to send a text message. I’m sure you can’t get that question out of your mind right now and, unfortunately, it doesn’t have one simple answer.

Based on my experience, I’m going to give you my best advice as to when you should text and what you should say if you do. Hopefully this will help you out, giving you everything you need to know from here.

We’ve only had texting for the last ten years, but it’s evolved into a really useful method of communicating with people.

In the old, pre-texting days the thing to do was to call after one or two days and thank your date for a great time. This is, of course, still a valid option, but these days people tend to prefer sending a short message.

Thanks to texting, the game has changed, and it’s often awkward trying to figure out exactly how to handle this.

My best advice is to send a quick text within 24 hours of the end of the date. Can it be the same night? Sure, but if it is, I’d keep it very short and sweet.

It’s a good idea to refer in your text to something that occurred during the evening. Write the message in a lighthearted, humorous tone. You’re not obliged to say you had a good time because the fact that you’re texting your date sends this message implicitly.

This will also spur a conversation that allows you to go back and forth as you please. Plus, the good thing about texting instead of calling is that it breaks the ice and sets the stage for that follow up call after the date.

You’ll have planted the seeds of a conversation with those texts and won’t be stuck for words when, a day or two later, you call your date.
