When I get a match on a dating app, and it's going well, I often run into the problem of not knowing how to conclude texting for the day. My social battery runs out pretty quickly when texting. Especially when I just met the other person that day. I usually just tell a white lie.

So does anyone maybe have a good line on how to end things casually, for the day? Or is this something you should tell them beforehand? Or is telling a white lie the proper way to go in this scenario?

Please let me know your thoughts on the matter.

You know anyone for whom this line has worked well? 🤨

The line doesn't seem like a problem. It's normal to need time to yourself. I think the people with whom this line doesn't work well are the actual problem.

I guess it's in the delivery a little bit, as well. I'd add some embellishments so as not to seem dismissive. 😅
