How Long Should You Text Before Meeting?
There is no universal number of messages or days. The better question is whether there is enough mutual comfort to make a simple plan.
Meet before building a fantasy
Long text exchanges can create an image of someone that real-life chemistry does not match.
Safety and comfort matter
Some people want more conversation first. A public meeting, clear plan, and independent transport can make a first date easier.
If momentum disappears
Repeatedly postponing without proposing an alternative usually means you should stop pushing.
