Texting & dating apps: Texting after the date to say you had fun

💬 To say "me too", use moi, never je. The same goes for "me neither", which is moi non plus.

💬 Resto is the casual short form of restaurant, and it's the word people actually say and text.

💬 In casual French, top works as a describing word that means great, and it never changes form. You can say la soirée était top too.

💬 Drôle ends in e already, so it stays the same whether you're talking to a man or a woman.

💬 Saying toi and then tu adds emphasis, as in "and you, you're...". It's a very natural way to turn a compliment back on someone.

💬 Ri is the past form of rire "to laugh". Note that beaucoup slips in between ai and ri: j'ai bien mangé "I ate well" follows the same pattern.

🇫🇷 Calling someone adorable is warm and a little flirty, but it's common and not over the top. It sits somewhere around "sweet" in English.

💬 In everyday speech on means "we", and it takes the same verb form as il. You'll hear it far more often than nous.

💬 This is a normal sentence turned into a question just by the rising tone or the question mark, with no change in word order. That's the usual way to ask questions in casual French.

🇫🇷 As a reply to an invitation, this is an enthusiastic, warm yes. It's perfectly natural in texts and doesn't sound stiff like "with pleasure" can in English.

💬 French days of the week take a small letter. Writing samedi alone means "this coming Saturday"; to mean "every Saturday" you say le samedi.

💬 Ça va gains te "you" to mean "does that suit you?" With someone you'd address formally, it becomes Ça vous va ?

💬 Put À before any time to say "see you then". For example, À demain means "See you tomorrow" and À ce soir means "See you tonight".

💬 Use bonne nuit only when someone is heading to bed. For a goodbye earlier in the evening, use bonsoir "good evening."

🇫🇷 Bisous is a standard sign-off with friends and family too, so it isn't necessarily romantic. After a date it reads as friendly and warm.
