Congratulations, you did it! You got a match on a dating app , but then comes the hard part — sending a message. Delayed responses, weird emojis , strange punctuation and message length all play a part in how we perceive the other person.

Texting is quick, simple, informal, and lighthearted. You can also send direct messages on social media. Texts are a natural stepping stone between talking to someone on a dating app and meeting them in person. When we talk to someone we fancy, even over the phone, our bodies produce oxytocin , a powerful bonding hormone that can increase feelings of affection and trust. Phone calls can also lower cortisol stress hormone levels, helping you both feel more relaxed.
