Episode 17 | The Dos & Don’ts of Pre & Post Date Texting

The Dater's Texting Toolbox

Let’s talk pre- and post-date texting. Okay, so there aren’t any hard and fast rules—just tools. From the fun and flirty to the overanalysis, texting in the dating space can be as much of an existential crisis as it is a tool for connection. Should you text first? Drop an emoji? Wait three hours or three days? How do we move from a thread to a date? Things can get… prematurely judgy— and suddenly you’re treading a sea of insecurity and miscommunication.

In this episode, three of our expert matchmakers dish out their favorite tools (and a few tricks) for building enjoyable and authentic text rapport. Plus, they're sharing real client stories From the Field. We’re gonna shed some light on the darker waters of dating texts and help you press send with confidence.
