You can text and date at the same time.

It’s actually quite easy. You go on dates and text them in between. It’s not like you have to pick between the two.

But have you ever felt like you meet someone, go on a few dates, and then the experience devolves into endless texting without ever meeting again?

Or it’s like 90% of the relationship is texting. It feels like it’s just filler for actually doing anything real.

Besides the obvious reason(s):

• They’re not interested in anything more, but they continue to talk to you to be nice.

• The person you’re dating doesn’t know what they’re “doing.”

There’s more to why people get stuck in the texting loop.
