If you’ve just been on a first date and you’re wondering when to send a text, you may have just come across this article in search of advice. No one knows when the right time may be, and you’ve likely spent time dwelling about this.

But I’d like to use my experience and give you a few pointers to help you make your decision. I hope my advice will be useful and enable you to choose the right moment to send a text.

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.

Back then, it was customary to call your date a day or two later to let them know you had a great time. While that is still acceptable by all means, many people prefer to keep it simple with a quick text message.

Things are a little different now and it’s not always easy to know what’s the best way of dealing with the situation.

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.

Try bringing up something that happened during the date and keep the tone light and fun. You don’t even have to admit that you had a really good time. The fact that you are sending a text will transmit that message.

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.

When you make this call a day or two later, you know you’ll have something to talk about because you’ve already sown the seeds of the conversation in your text messages.
