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.

    Texting stresses me out, but I still rather talk a bit, to get a feel for the other person. If a guy presses for a meet up in the first few sentences, I might just back out and say never mind I’d rather not.

    But maybe that’s just me.

      The advice isn’t to press for a meeting to creep out the match, just to provide the option early.

      I.e. theres a coffee shop I’ve been meaning to try next to Thing, would you like to meet there on DAY and talk about SHARED TOPIC?

      If the match defers or says no, that’s fine, but the effort was made to solidify the match
