First dates can be romantic and the start a beautiful relationship. However, many people wonder when the best time is to contact their partner that first meeting. Scientists studied the best time to send a text a first date. Researchers Leuphana University Germany asked 500 people about this matter and published their findings the Journal Social and Personal Relationships. The researchers found the best time to text is the morning after the date. This shows the other person you are happy and are interested a second date. They said waiting too long could be a mistake because it sends the wrong message that you are not interested.

The study involved asking the test participants to imagine having an enjoyable first date a nice Italian restaurant. They then had to rate how much they wanted a second meeting, depending when they received a text their date. They had to decide whether being texted the next morning or two days later made them feel happiest. The researchers said a follow- text the morning the date made people want to take the relationship further. The Psychology Today website agreed and wrote: "A next-morning text shows you're interested and had a good time." The study looked texting — the more modern method communication. It did not look traditional phone calls.
