<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

I guess you could say I'm pretty new at this dating thing.  So I met her at a cafe and we talked for an hour. It was pretty good because by the end of it I got her number.This would be the first girl I have ever asked for her number (to date rather than asking her number for work purposes or other reasons). We have scheduled a coffee date (3 days from now) to get to know each other a bit better. 

  The thing is, we have been texting each other a bit too. We have been discussing our likes and dislikes. Should I continue this or should I stop so we have some stuff to talk about over some coffee? The texts are pretty natural, she is also responding back and asking me questions too. 

My other question is what should I talk about during the coffee date? I would like to have a few things to have in mind so I don't stumble over my words

From what  others have told me, there is a "texting game" where one has to wait x minutes/hours/days before responding. Is this true? Do I have to abide by those rules?

**Questions**

* Is there such thing as too much texting?

* What topics/questions should I ask during a coffee date?

* Are there taboo topics to talk about over coffee or in general for the first few dates?

* Is there a "texting game" that I have to follow?

* Do females expect smiley faces and such in texts?
<bot>: I'm new and I have no idea what I'm doing in a dating situation. Apparently I was smooth enough to get her number and schedule a coffee date. And now am out of my comfort zone.
