The old "rules" say to wait, play it cool, let him chase. Here is the modern reality: if you had a good time, say so. The person who texts first is not "losing" -- they are being honest and confident.
Text within a few hours of the date ending. Something simple: "I had a really good time tonight. That [specific moment] was hilarious." Specificity shows you were present and engaged, not just being polite.
Wait until the next day and see how you feel. Sometimes first-date nerves mask or amplify your actual feelings. If you wake up thinking about him, text. If you do not, you have your answer.
You do not owe a follow-up text to someone you will not see again. But a brief "Thanks for tonight, I don't think we're a match but I wish you well" is kind and clear. Ghosting after a face-to-face date is worse than after a few texts.
Give it 24 hours. If nothing, send something light. If that gets no response or a polite brush-off, accept it gracefully. The person who seemed perfect over dinner might have felt different chemistry. It is not a reflection of your worth.
