<human>: I finally asked her if she'd want to go out with me, we'd been close for a while and one of her friends told me that she was starting to like me also.

We never really texted/messaged each other before, but I'd hung out with her at parties, and we got along great, and most of the time we'd just spend time alone with each other.

Now that I've asked her if she'd want to go out (we've got a date in a couple of days), should I be messaging her every now and again? I never did previously so I don't think I should now. She seems cool in that she doesn't really seem to be that way either

But is it expected of me to send bs like how her day is going, or whatever else?

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Should I be messaging a girl now that we're kind of going out? I didn't before, but since things have changed, should I adapt to it?
