Whether you met on Tinder or in real life, talking to a potential one-night fling or a long-distance partner, the eternal question applies: what do you write in your goodnight text?! How do you let them know just how you feel without making yourself too vulnerable or coming off as creepy?
Well, it’s an art. And if you trust the person, err on the side of vulnerability, without baring all your insecurities and mundane thoughts like a (now middle-aged) teen in the heyday of Facebook.
