There are guys who prefer texting over other forms of communication in the early stages of dating.
It gives them the ability to express themselves more effectively.
This is done without having to be extemporaneous, as is the case in face to face conversations, or verbal conversations over the phone.
They feel more comfortable getting to know a girl like this.
As far as they are concerned, they get a better shot at being relatively interesting to her by using text, as they have more time to prepare their conversations and responses.
It’s fine to talk about things on a date that you already texted about, but go further by elaborating on said topics.
Give further details.
At a date, there is greater freedom to revisit the topics that were discussed through text in a much more animated fashion.
Body language comes into play here, as your excitement in telling the story in person inspires you to speak with greater animation and inflection.
Elaborating on a specific topic when you are on a date with someone face to face is a much more personal experience than what you experience over text.
