After first date text ideas

How to use these

• Send it that night or the next morning. The specific detail is only funny while it is still fresh.
• Name one moment from the date. That single detail does more work than the rest of the message.
• Ask for the second date in the same text if it went well. Waiting for the perfect moment is how it stops being a moment.

These are shapes, not scripts. A line that has been sent by a thousand people reads like one, and the good version of any of these has a detail in it that only applies to the person you are talking to.
