If you think you need to text someone constantly when you first start dating, think again.
We all fall victim to this when we first start seeing someone.
You want to be speaking to them all the time, but eventually the conversation becomes a bit pointless as there's only so many times you can ask someone what they're up to...
But on the other hand, you may think that if you're not speaking to them that they may lose interest.

You'll be pleased to know that this isn't necessarily the case though, as dating expert Sabrina Zohar shared her texting tips to her 676,000 TikTok followers.
"Stop trying to text in order to gain control of a situation," she began the clip.
"I see this every f**king day."
Sabrina went on to explain that while she understands a lot of people are anxious at the beginning of a relationship, texting them without a proper reason is just you 'trying to control the situation'.
Noting this, she said: "Dating means there are no guarantees, and it takes two willing f**king people, two participants, to decide, 'Hey, I want to do this. You wanna do this. Let's go'."

If you have the urge to text someone and 'actually have something to say', Sabrina says this is fine, but if you're simply texting them as a way of getting their attention, then that's a no go as it's just your anxiety talking.
"Part of dating with intention is interacting with intention, texting with intention; all of the above," she further explained.
"If you don't have something of depth to offer to a conversation or something to start a conversation with that makes sense, then please stop using texting as a means of trying to control the situation."
Sabrina warned that it could easily 'blow up in your face'.
People have since commented on the video thanking Sabrina for her words of wisdom.
