My friends and I have debated this issue endlessly, with no consensus. From my POV, it's perfectly acceptable to text a guy "Thank you for dinner--I had a great time!" if he takes you out and pays. But my girls do not agree…

"Noooooo!" said Marcy. "HE should be thanking YOU!"

"But c'mon," I countered, "if a guy just dropped $150 on dinner and drinks, it's only polite to write him!"

Marcy shook her head emphatically and said that I can thank him in person when he drops me off, but the text is a bit much.

She has a point, but I'm still not totally convinced. I always try to be polite, but I can see how a dude could misconstrue the text and think I'm overly interested.
