‘The Double Text Rule’ and other dating nonsense you need to unlearn

Yes, you absolutely should text him after a date

Beloved, I saw an absolute idiot pop up in my Instagram feed today. A grinning woman smugly pointed her finger at the screen and raised her eyebrows. “Don’t text him!” she shrieked. “Make him do the work. Make him prove to you that he’s interested. He’s going to be annoyed if you’re reaching out to him.” I stared in horror at this amazingly bad advice. Astonishingly, this had thousands of likes.
