I (M26) have been on two dates with someone (F26) from Hinge. Both dates have gone well and we seem to have pretty good chemistry and compatibility.
We matched about a month and a half ago and moved to text before our first date. Prior to our first date we were texting basically every day. Makes sense we were getting to know each other. For our second date we used texting mainly to organize and confirm plans. There was some banter mixed in there but we did go several days without texting in the days leading up to date 2. Our third date is planned but not until next weekend, which would be 3 weeks since our second date. This is just the way our schedules worked out unfortunately. We’ve already planed the date and was texting quite a bit to make plans and still had mixed in some banter in between planning.
Now, this week we haven’t talked since the weekend and I don’t want to go two weeks without communication. But the usual how’s your day/week gets boring pretty quickly.
Is it normal for texting habits to slow down once you’ve been on a few dates with someone? Also what are some ways to maintain communication between dates? It doesn’t seem like she’s losing interest, as she replies enthusiastically every time and she actually planned most of this date. But it does feel like we’ve run out of things to talk about regularly.
