Admit it, we've all been there: having no clue what to text someone after a first date. Especially if you're interested in getting a second date. You had an amazing time with this person and are hoping for a second date, but ahhhh, what do you say?!
A thousand thoughts run through your head. Should you text them first or wait for them to text you? You want to follow-up but can't think of anything cool to say. Or perhaps you guys are already texting (yay!) and your date is super witty, sends the funniest memes, but you are stuck at a loss for words.
