I’ll tell you one new fashioned idea I don’t like, it’s this constantly texting. Honestly, I find that super manipulative. It’s like someone is invading your space and wanting to know where you are, who you are with, and what you are doing every minute. I sure wouldn’t do this if I were single. My h and I don’t do it now. If you already talked about everything over text there’s no mystery and you run out of conversation before you even have the date.
We text throughout the day (lunch breaks, arrived to work etc) and we don’t run out of topics. Usually people text just informative stuff and calling isn’t always appropriate (work situations). We don’t text anything too deep just “ice on the road, drive carefully” kind of stuff. But we also work a lot snd opposing schedules so we need that brief connection. My parents are married for 53 years and text through the day.

I don’t see issues with that. I text with my daughter a lot too.

I wouldn’t be constantly texting after one date though and would stir away from a man who does. Creepy
