It can be a bad sign if a guy texts less after a date, but there are nuances that have to be accounted for.

He wasn’t too happy with how the date went, and isn’t quite sure of whether he should pursue this relationship any further.

In a circumstance where he is a guy who was texting daily before the date and is no longer doing so after the date, there is cause for worry.

Nonetheless, you shouldn’t panic when he is continues to text you daily albeit less frequently during the day.

That first date is the culmination of initial interest.

Once a guy has been on it and he is content in knowing that this is a girl he wants to see again, he doesn’t text as much during the day, wanting to save something for the second date.

As long as he is persisting in texting you daily or frequently, you are fine.

Now, a guy who used to initiate a lot of texting and isn’t anymore, is doing this for a couple reasons.

He wants to see how you respond after that first date.

Since he was the one initiating things leading up to the first date, he wants to see whether you take initiative and text him first.

He is testing you.

He gave you the benefit of the doubt prior to that first date by initiating texts.

Now that the first date is done with, he wants to see whether you are keen to put in some work and take initiative in texting him first from time to time.

This aside, some guys just run out of gas.

He was excited as the first date approached, evidenced in him initiating texts and keeping the conversation going.

The date has happened and his expectations weren’t met.

The conversation with him during the date was not as exciting as it was when you two conversed over text.

His hopes and expectations were dampened.

Consequently, he chooses not to initiate texts for now, as he comes down from his high.

The high wasn’t met on that date.

Nevertheless, he texts you eventually after realizing there were moments in the date he enjoyed.

Of course, there is no guarantee of this happening.

Additionally, a guy that texts less after a date worries he didn’t leave a good impression on the date.

He is taking a few days out to think through the date.

He isn’t confident in texting you at the moment, fearful that he disappointed you at the date.

His confidence took a hit.

As a result, he chooses to text you less.

In a scenario like this, he needs you to text him to let him know how much fun you had at the date.

This gives him the confidence to ask you to another one.
