Should the guy always text first?

In the beginning, I wouldn’t initiate at all. Once you’re in a relationship, it’s okay to text him first sometimes, but you should still let him do it 80-90% of the time. You should never chase a man, and constantly being the first one to text is definitely chasing him.

I would say maybe once a relationship is established and there is exclusivity and some commitment, then it's normal for the woman to initiate texting sometimes, especially if it's a special occasion like his birthday plans. Or to communicate news that a boyfriend could legit be interested in, like a work promotion. I probably wouldn't get into the habit of always being the first to text "good morning" or whatever. Nor would I mindlessly text all day, I refuse to let a man keep me tethered to my phone. If he wants to talk to me he can make plans to see me in person.

If it's still early dating stages then I would never initiate at all. Maybe if I was being taken to the hospital emergency room but that's about it.

But I'm just a FDS newbie though, I'd be interested in what our more experienced queens have to say on this topic.

The guy should always initiate otherwise it comes across as desperate or that you're chasing him.

80/20

And in the rarest of cases maybe 65/35
