- Don’t ‘wait X days to reach out’ The first text is always the hardest. How long do you wait to message that cute guy from the gym? If you ask around, some people will tell you to wait for “this many days” before you make contact, but that strategy is flat-out silly.

It’s exciting when that cute girl from OkCupid seems way into texting you, but as Christine Hassler, the author of 20-Something, 20-Everything, suggests, too much pre-date texting smothers any spark you might have on your actual first date
- Keep calm and don’t be pushy. Don’t make your early text messages an interview. Not only will you use up all your conversation starters before you actually meet that “guy your friend set you up with,” you’ll probably create unnecessary stress for yourself.

While texting all day, every day is certainly fun, especially in the beginning of a relationship, it's definitely not sustainable.

Dawn Maslar, author of Men Chase, Women Choose previously told Elite Daily. "When a person f...
Have you ever decided tostop texting someoneand then realized, when you don't hear from them, you are the person always initiating conversation?

You never want to be the sole person driving the relationship forward, and you definitely do not want...
Remember the bad texter I mentioned before? Yeah, he has never asked me how my day was. He pretty much only contacts me for plans or to tell me what's going on in his life. And although I love hanging out in person, I do wish that IRL connection translated more to his texting habits. As is, I don't feel comfortable texting him to tell him how thing...
You know when you question every single thing you say to someone, editing texts over and over before hitting send? Sometimes, you'll write something and then delete it several times, trying to figure out which version of your sentence is best, funniest, or sexiest. In the past, I've used group texts with my friendsto workshop messages I wanted to s...

Jul 5, 2022 · Texting is a massive part of dating whether you like it or not. Here's why and how you can get better at it for the sake of your relationships.
- Having a balance in the consistency & effort is important. Too much texting in dating, especially in early dating, is not having a balance to a point where one of you is uncomfortable by the constant amount of texts being received.
- Feel what you text: Don’t just text them for no absolute reason. Texting at the early stages of dating has its ways to go wrong, especially if you’re bored and want to ‘fill your nothingness’ by texting with this person.
- Don’t be something you normally aren’t just for the sake of impressing the person. Texting in early dating has the potential to be not so original because of the ‘pressure to impress’ the other.
- Having a life: a.k.a your universe doesn’t depend on texting that person. It’s beautiful to be feeling what you’re feeling right now, and I’m not saying you should suppress anything, however, I’m reminding you that you’ve got a life, and to not forget to do things you did back when you didn’t know this person existed.
