I've had dates, most have been just a 1st date. I find getting matches isn't too bad, sometimes it takes longer than usual. Texting until the date seems fine. I suppose you have all the time to send a response.
When it comes to the date, I find there's nothing to say or like no connection. Not because we texted so much, like we're here together. Two strangers trying to make something out of nothing. Which leads to believe dating apps don't really work? Sure, they get people to meet. But without anything in common, you might as well just tried speaking to a stranger you passed by and see what happens?
