We're going to lunch tomorrow. Do you think I can bring up at some point that I'm not used to all-day texting, even though I like talking to him? I'm an introvert and it seriously makes me anxious and drains me. I don't want him to feel rejected, but I just can't keep this up. He won't ever be the one to stop the text-stream, and I'm tired of making excuses.

So you haven't even really had a first date with him yet and he's already texting non-stop?

Or was Friday night the date (after meeting/talking online)? In either case, yikes. That would send my "Need Space" hackles up for sure.

Does he work? I don't see how he'd have the time to text all day either!

That being said, yes, I would totally bring up the issue when you meet him for lunch. I think most sane, reasonable people will understand that people who work during the normal 9-5ish timezone don't have time to text all day long.

I think how he reacts will be very telling!
