If you’re not the one trying to give up too much information, but the other person is pushing for it, Hoffman has a tip for that. “Somebody has to earn the information about your past, dating history, etc. Use online dating or texting as a tool to connect but then move forward in the real world,” she says. “So if someone is asking something that is too in-depth for that phase of dating, or it feels like the texting is dragging out instead of moving towards a date, I’ll have clients say ‘I’d love to tell you more about that when we meet in person.’”
