Should You Text Thank You After A First Date?
Texting “Thank You” after a first date.
There are a lot of opinions about texting thank you after a first date. Some people say absolutely do not text thank you because 1) you should have said it during the date and 2) if you reach out then how will you know if they’re interested.
My take? If you had a great time on the date and want to send a thank you text, then do it! Especially if they told you to let them know when you made it home, then that’s an easy text to send - “ just got home, thanks again for a great night”. Yes, you should have said thank you on the date but if you really like them, then that text is an easy way to let them know.
And how will you know if they are interested back? If they ask you on a second date then you have your answer.
I do find that on dates that went really well, typically you are already texting before you have even gotten home. This is of course not alway the case but usually if a guy is interested, you’re getting a text that same night or the next morning regardless of if you sent a thank you text.
Ultimately it’s all about trusting your gut and doing what feels right for you. Texting a guy thank you is not going to make or break if he’s asking you out again. If he wants to see you again, he will. So if you want to send the text, then just send it
