Post-date contact. How soon is too soon to call/text/send carrier pigeons?

Kidding about the pigeons. I new to the "grown up" dating thing. Went out with a guy last night & had a wonnnnderful time. Perfect, actually. Complete with scary movie hand holding and the cutest goodnight kiss in the world. We're planning to go out again this weekend, and I'm wondering how soon is too soon for me to text him something simple & sweet like "Hope you are having a good day." or something along those lines. I don't want to be too forward, but I want him to know I'm interested! Help please.

Update:

@Waterdragon Could you be more rude, please? You saw the quotes around "grown up," right? I just thought the hand holding was sweet. We did talk, thank you. No need to get all rude on the internet.

To everyone else: Thank you. I will wait another day or two.

    Darn. Send the pigeons. They make good pie. I knew a woman who was a school cook back when they could actually cook. She caught a sack of pigeons out of a local farmer's barn and made "chicken" potpie. The kids loved it.

    I had a great and unexpected weekend. Then I spent the next few days wondering if I was only that weekend's amusement. So I called her Wednesday and asked if I could come up the next weekend to visit. It was one of the toughest things I ever did because she could have crushed me. She didn't, though. Weekend after weekend, it continued. Winter. I got really good at using chains. Three years later we were married. It was great. But I suffered to get to her and she knew it. I'd be beat when I showed up and she took care of me. She worried until I got there. There were a few times she drove through storms to get to me, too. Then I worried until she got to me. I didn't like that at all. I didn't care what happened to me but I never wanted her to take a risk. Scary movies are nothing compared to that. If holding hands in a scary movie is the best you can do, you're a wimp.

    I did teach her how to drive stick, though. Her dad let me do it and never stepped in. Talk about trust. I didn't think about that until now. I taught her in one evening. Then I got a crappy little sports car but it was fun to drive so she kept stealing it from me. That was okay. I still had the upper hand. When there was ice or we needed chains, I took over. I always did the scary stuff. If you really care about someone, you step in and do it. You don't have to be asked and then you're safe at home again. Never ask to be thanked for it. I always got it in one way or another.

    Not today but don't take days. I think he would appreciate it like 2 days from your date. No longer than that or he'll think you font care. If you want you can even send him a text right now saying you had a good time last night so thank you.

    the next day is too long and "grown ups" dont go to the movies just so we can hold hands ---- we go somewhere we can talk to each other --- get to know each other ---- so do it as soon as possible

    Before texting him that, i'd wait until you are a bit more serious, you don't want to scare him off. Maybe some more dates.
