For me. I don't. Not right away. I tell her if I enjoyed myself at the end of the date, or I say nothing. I don't leave her guessing if I enjoyed the date, only if I like her or not. You achieve that by letting her know you had fun, and not texting her right after like a puppy. What do you think she is doing every hour you are not texting her? Thinking about you and why you're not texting her!
Give it more like 4-5 days and do not bring up the past date in your text. Especially if you think a funny joke would be bringing up something you guys talked about on the first date like "Hey Jane, it's Tarzan" or some stupid crap like that. Just don't do it. Be a forward thinker. Save that for the next date, in person, and after rapport is strong enough to not seem like you're reaching for a connection.
Tip: Never think "I would like if she did it to me". You could have a higher IL than her. Short circuit yourself in a hurry. Only think about where her IL might be, and if what you're about to do will raise it, or lower it. If you can't put your finger on her level, do the opposite of what you think you should do. By that, i mean do nothing
