You’ve probably come across this article because you’ve been asking yourself when to send that first text message after a date. It’s a question that bothers most people after a date and I’m afraid there isn’t just one answer.

It’s a funny thing, texting. It’s only been in use about ten years but it’s come to be an important form of communication.
A decade ago, it was quite normal for a person to call their date to let them know what a great time they’d had. You can still do this, of course, but a quick text is now an acceptable way of making the first contact after a date.
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 be able to call a day or two later and you’ll have more to talk about seeing as how the seeds have already been planted from your texting conversations.
