Sivok Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hey everyone, So just last week I got back into the dating scene after a period of a year or so. I met this really sweet laid back girl and so far we've been on two dates - a lunch date and a dinner date. They both went well, I made her laugh alot, I feel we got that comfort across to a degree. However, I have not taken any steps to move into physical territory or compliment showering - moreso trying to get to know her better. At the end of the second date (yesterday) I walked her back to her car. However, I didn't attempt to hold her hand or go for a kiss. I didn't think we were ready for a kiss, but I feel maybe I should've tried the hand holding atleast. Anyway, as I saw her off she asked 'we'll be in touch?' I said 'yes we will' and bid her off. This morning I text her saying how last night was fun, it was good seeing her again, and I teased her a bit with an inside joke. I haven't heard back yet, been a few hours. What do I do now? Just wait? Link to post Share on other sites
Stung Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 For now, just wait. There are those on this board who are likely to chime in that the next day is too soon and start quoting professional, morally shady pick-up-artists. I can only say that, as a woman, I myself always preferred my dates to be confident enough in themselves and enthusiastic enough about me to not play those kinds of games; when I was dating I LOVED a call or a text the next day, if I liked the guy. As for a few hours lapsing with no response, it's too early to know if that means anything--it's probably nothing. It's easy to get very nervous at this stage of dating and start reading too much into little details. Isn't she probably at work or at school right now? Even if not, she might not have her phone with her and turned on at all times--and if she's somewhere with poor reception or has a crappy phone, she might not get the text right away--hell, she might not even have texting enabled. My husband has a first generation iPhone that still looks good but has gotten kinda overused and he sometimes gets texts 24 hours later, which is annoying. I, on the other hand, usually keep my phone's sound turned off so my texts come in on time but I often don't notice them for hours anyway, which he finds annoying If you haven't heard from her by tomorrow night think about contacting her one more time, this time via an alternate method--try an actual phone call, or maybe an email.
