What to text after a first date is a question that we at Intermezzo Montreal are often asked. All couples use text messages but the quality is far more important than the quantity. That being said, there is a marked difference when it comes to ''quantity'' between men and women.<\/p>\n
A study published in the ''Journal of Couple and Relationship Therapy'' in 2013 found that men who text a lot were more likely to report a higher level of dissatisfaction with their relationship. Researchers believe that it was a way to progressively disengage from the relationship by avoiding more face-to-face and intimate conversation. For women, a higher number of text messages sent showed the opposite. Women who texted a lot were found to report higher levels of satisfaction in their relationships. They used texting as an additional way to express their feelings - although the men weren't always receptive to this type of conversation through SMS.<\/p>\n
At Intermezzo Montreal, we believe that text messages are part of life! However, its important to remember that non-verbal cues are a primordial part of communication. Studies have suggested that approximately 80% of what we say lies in non-verbal cues such as facial expression and body language among others. It is thus important to keep the texting to a minimum at the beginning of a new relationship when you are trying to get to know someone. Keep the important conversations for when you find each other hand-in-hand and cellphone stored away!<\/p>\n
