Frequently asked questions
How soon should I send a follow‑up text after a first date?
A good rule of thumb is to send a message within 24‑48 hours—enough time to reflect, but still fresh in both minds.
What if I’m nervous about sounding too eager?
Keep it simple, focus on a specific moment you enjoyed, and let the tone stay relaxed; authenticity beats over‑enthusiasm.
Should I suggest a second date right away?
If the vibe felt right, a casual suggestion (like a coffee or a walk) works well; avoid heavy planning until you both confirm interest.
