Apps and texting
- How often should you text someone you just started dating?There is no magic number. What seems to matter is that your rhythm roughly matches theirs, especially who reaches out first and how often you check in, and that the texting keeps leading to actual plans.
- Why did they leave me on read?Most of the time, something on their end got in the way of answering: timing, energy, not knowing what to say. A read receipt tells you they saw it, not what they felt, so give it a day, then follow up once or let it go.
