Do what you think is best, and yes, you do have to be yourself, I understand.
But I have had so much experience in this area and it doesn't matter whether you are 20 or 50 and an old dinosaur like me or spring chicken like you. ;-)

Idk If I can agree with it being weird, let alone 'saving conversation". I mean if you're afraid you're going to run out of things to say to each other, you should stop right then and there. considering that in many cases people shoot for a long term partner, if the case of running out of conversation in the first days of talking is the case there is no foundation for a relationship in the first place beyond a few weeks. If you really hit it off with someone, not only will you find out during your first conversations, you will also be able to likely talk about any and everything under the sun, including the mundane things.
I don't think it's weird at all. I think it's just a new way of conversation.
Mind you I will agree that when people do texting and it is all they do, ongoing wise, it's a problem, but I think it's ok to keep in touch this way and even get to know someone via texting, chat, Skype or whatever online means prior to actually dating.
Again, though I realize this is my opinion and you have yours. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying I see it differently, please understand me!
