Modern dating is a balancing act
Don't text back right away
But if you take too long, they lose interest
Asking for their snapchat is friendly
If you ask for their number, it's something more
After the first date, if you text them right away you look way too intense
But if you wait to text, they'll think you're not interested
If you send a flirty text, they may take it as a joke
Or like it
Or think you're trying way too hard
And because it's texting, you can't tell
Bringing your relationship to the phone call level is a whole different issue
Wait too long and it feels awkward to start
Call them too soon and they feel overwhelmed
Do you call or facetime?
During the day, or late at night?
What do you do if they decline the call?
It's all too much, too hard, too delicate
It seems that the balance is different for every person
So there's not even a recipe to follow
But I suppose being kind, honest, and taking things slow is a good place to start
Because if you have to change who you are so someone will like you
They're probably not the right person for you
Because the right person will just laugh when you upset the balance
And admit that they feel the same way you do
