When I get a match on a dating app, and it’s going well, I often run into the problem of not knowing how to conclude texting for the day. My social battery runs out pretty quickly when texting. Especially when I just met the other person that day. I usually just tell a white lie.

So does anyone maybe have a good line on how to end things casually, for the day? Or is this something you should tell them beforehand? Or is telling a white lie the proper way to go in this scenario?

Please let me know your thoughts on the matter.

    Lots of texting in the presence of such doubts is destructive IMHO. Have a voice phone call instead. If you have to text I’d say “I have to go offline pretty soon, I’ll be free tomorrow after about 6pm” or whatever. I just hate long text conversations though.
