Should I text them?

Should I text while they're out with friends?

Short answer

Keep it short, or wait

Let them enjoy their time with friends. A short “have fun!” is sweet; a stream of messages or asking what they're doing can feel like checking up on them. If you want to talk, catch up the next day.

Why this happens

Time with friends matters, and respecting it builds trust. Texting a lot while they're out can come across as insecurity or control.

It depends on

  • Whether you're a couple or dating
  • Whether they're texting you
  • Whether something important needs a reply

What you could send

  • Have fun tonight! 😄
  • Enjoy! Tell me everything tomorrow.
  • (Or nothing, and catch up tomorrow.)
