So…the bottom line on texting and dating is this: use texting sparingly, wisely and, most of all, dont read too much into it. Remember, real life and real love happen in person, smile to smile, touch to touch. Not on your phone or your computer.

How much should you text the guy youre dating?

You should look for three to five messages a day, unless you strike up a conversation, then look for more. The most important thing to look out for is whether or not it seems like youre on his mind. Remember, these are simple guidelines, and there is no hard and fast rule.
