“Four to five days of chatting before you initiate the date is often the sweet spot. It gives you enough time to build that foundation of trust, but its not so long that the momentum drops off.”

How long should I talk to someone online before meeting them?

According to scientists, the longer you wait, the higher the risk of having a disappointing first date. Researchers at the University of South Florida looked into the habits of online daters and found the ideal time frame between sending that first message to meeting in person is within 23 days.

Should you talk to your date before the date?

In terms of confirming, its best to confirm a day before the date. A text like, “Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at 7,” should do the trick. So, if youre intent on texting before a date, then try to keep these texts to a minimum, with the sole purpose of determining the logistics of the date.
