Getting back in touch via email or text after a date.

Posted by Hayden Allen-Vercoe on Sat 19th May 2007 at 04:46 AM, Filed in Tips For Dating

After a date, whether it be a blind date, from a dating site or maybe someone you met in a bar, the best thing you can do is drop them a short, friendly and humorous email. You will have both come away from the date thinking “I wander what they think of me” and “I wander how that went”. If you thought it went well then put their mind at rest and drop them an email or text.

There are some rules about this first email or text:

• Don’t show any emotions, keep it casual. No telling them how you can’t stop thinking about them!
• Keep it to one sentence, maximum 2.
• Keep the email or text open about the next date, put the ball in their court.

• Mention something you both found interesting or humorous about the date. It will allow them to remember the fun side of your personality.
• Mention that you enjoyed yourself.
• Close it with an open and leading question, something like “Be nice to d it again sometime”.
• Finally… don’t send a second email or text without hearing back from them first. Yes they may be too busy to respond, or perhaps never received it… but if they liked you then they will track you down and find time for it!
