In our culture today, there are a few things that have become a standard as technology has been enhanced. One of these things it the “after date text”. If you are bit older you may never heard of it, but if you are a bit younger than you most definitely heard of it and you know how important it is. The idea is simple. In today’s world, people text each other. A lot. While this has kind of ruined normal communication between human beings, it can also be a way to express your feelings without feeling sheepish or confrontational. The way it applies to dating is that when you have a really good date with a person, you can send an after date text to let them know that you really did have a good time and that you would like to do it again. This is the ultimate in clues after a date for a guy to know he did alright.
The etiquette of the after date text goes like this. The girl is supposed to send it. This is a way for a girl to show her appreciation for the date that just happened. More than likely the guy asked her out, planned a date, payed for it, and the least that the girl can do is just thank him after the date. When you send the after date text it means that you had a really good time and that you would like to do it again. If the date was horrible then by all means don’t bother sending it. But if the date was good then please send it! Guys are always a bit concerned after dates if it went well and if the girl had fun. This is a way you can put his fears to rest and let him know it was a great time.
Guys, don’t send the after date text. Even if you had a ton of fun and really wan to talk to her, refrain from sending it or you will look desperate. Just wait til late the next day to say anything so you keep your cool.
