Besides the never-ending text relationship that might form with no date in sight, by texting (or emailing) too much before the date, you run the risk of building a false impression of this person in your mind that probably does not equate to what he or she is like in real life.

Should you chat before first date?

“Four to five days of chatting before you initiate the date is often the sweet spot. It gives you enough time to build that foundation of trust, but its not so long that the momentum drops off.”

Should you stop texting before a date?

You shouldnt leave it too long before discussing when and where youre going to meet. If you can, try to make the date sooner rather than later. Thats because the longer you have to wait, the more likely you are to over-text, or for the conversation between you to drop off completely.
