Texting After a First Date - How to Keep the Spark Alive

10000+ August 21, 2024

After saying goodbye, you can't just help but think about what to text your date after having a good time with them. You leave feeling like you still want a second date, yet at the same time, you do not want to scare them away.

Most of the time, you might even be tempted to show them as if you are not interested, but it is always better to be honest with how you feel with someone you just knew. If you tell your date that you want to see them again, you will get a hint whether they are into you or not.

According to Clarrisa Silva, a behavioral scientist and relationship coach, “The second date is seeing whether you and your date are compatible.

Moreover, you must show your date that you are interested so both of you can move forward. With that said, here are ideas of what to text or tell your date after having a great time with them:

Propose Doing Something that You've Talked About

To increase your chances of getting into a second date, ask your date out to a place they had mentioned when you had your first date. As expressed by Silva, exploring your date’s interest is one way to know more about a person. If your date is enthusiastic about a fantastic coffee place, tell them that you had a wonderful time with them and that you would like to take them to the coffee place.

Say Something Good About Your First Date

Another way to let your date know that you would want to spend time with them again is to say something you thought was special about your time together. For example, you say, “I really had a good time with you. The wine was lit!” It is an excellent way to open a conversation and get a chance to date them again.

Be Honest About Wanting to Meet Them Up Again

Be bold enough to tell your date that you want to meet them again. That way, you won’t leave them second-guessing about your real intention. “I had fun with you last night. It would really be great if we could do it again!”

Be straightforward and make solid plans for your second date. Avoid texting short phrases or messages that show you are not interested such as “Hey,” “What’s up,” “What are you doing?”

You must open an opportunity for a long conversation by asking the right questions.

Compliment Your Date

Showing admiration in a teasing or flirty way is not a bad idea. Do not use compliments that you have already told your date. Instead, look at aspects about your date that you previously did not know about that made you admire her even more.

Say something like, “I had an excellent time with you, and I did not know that you have a great sense of humor.” You can also say, “You showed me what it’s like to have real fun, let's do it again!”

Ask for Another Date

Although it can be nerve-racking to ask for another date, you must ask your date out to meet with them again. Do not wait for a message or text from them asking you out. This may leave them thinking that you are just playing games.

Note that people can get exhausted trying to find someone genuine, so separate yourself from people who are just playing games by being straightforward. You can say, "It was fun spending time with you. Would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow?"

Keep Your Conversation Going and Fun

If you had a great time with your date, it means you both have a lot of things in common and you had a good conversation. So, to keep your mutual interest alive, keep your conversations relatable and fun. You can text them something you conversed about during your time together and insert a joke to keep it fun.

Increase your chances of getting to meet them again by texting them, "Hey, I have been wondering about how this and that works, can you tell me more about it? Are you available on Saturday night?"

Thank Your Date and Tell Them Your Free Time

One way of letting your date know that you had a great time with them is by saying thank you and letting them know when you are going to be free again for another date. You can say,"Thank you for an excellent time. This week is going to be a busy week for me, but I am free on Saturday if you are up for another date."

In case you both are too busy to meet in person, suggest dating them online. Showing interest means doing whatever you can to have time with them and showing commitment.

Conclusion

Most people have a tendency to obsess over what to do after an excellent first date and how to open an opportunity for another one. That is normal and natural. However, bear in mind that it is always better to be honest rather than act as if you are just being cool about it.

Note that texting can make someone feel you are distant if you do not do it right. So, be bold, honest, serious, and genuine even if it means making yourself vulnerable. That is what makes you attractive.
