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.

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.

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.

The game has changed slightly with the advent of texting and I’d like to help you get round the problems that present themselves.

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.

Make it light hearted and funny, and preferably something to do with anything that happened that night. There’s no need to say you had a great time, because the fact that you’re texting will implicitly send that message.

This should also be the start of a text conversation between the two of you, which has the big advantage of breaking the ice a little prior to the follow up call.

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.
