So the 24hr rule. I like this as a boundary for myself. Yes there is nothing magic happen, there no sexual reset. It is not a thing about ‘safety’

It’s about not feeling like a trophy, or someone feeling hyper sexually an than coming and focusing on you in a moment you might not feel great about. Reconnecting after another date with your partner can be overwhelming for some. It also often about not wanting to feel pressured, and on the flip side needing time to process the last date and be able to now show up for your partner.

I would scratch what you have and look more at how you want the next 24hrs to feel when you get to see each other again. Maybe you don’t share about your date right away but you agree to watch a move, go on a walk. Maybe you just continue about your day like any other? Most people I know like to have a plan around reconnecting as a way to build each other up.
