15 Messages To Send A Dating App Match When You Want To Move To Texting

There comes a time in every promising dating app exchange when it feels right to transition from messaging on the app, to texting. If finessing this step forward feels tricky, coming up with messages to send a match to move to texting can help you avoid any unnecessary awkwardness. The key to maintaining the good vibes is to ensure the transition feels as natural as possible.

Try to take your time! Rushing to start communicating away from the app too soon might not be to your advantage. Exchanging phone numbers can give someone access to a host of other information about you, including your social media handles, email address, physical address, and even your location, USA Today reports. So once you feel confident your match can be trusted and the timing feels right, here are some casual ways to drop the hint.
