RovingReporter Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Long story short I met a girl at the dog park, chatted her up and got her number, called her a day later and set up a date a week later. There hasn't been any contact between us aside from the phone call. Is this standard? The bulk of my dating has been done online the last two years and I guess i'm used to all the texting etc leading up to the first date.
SJC2008 Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 More often than not it is normal. The date is confirmed so what's the point of chit chat before than? Save it for the date.
EasyHeart Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 I consider that normal. If the date was set a week or more ahead of time, I give her a telephone call (not a text) a day or two before to confirm when/where you're meeting. Keep it short -- five minutes or less. Save the conversations for when you see her in person.

She's 7 years younger than me and to be honest I thought i'd get a text or something from her once she got my number. I don't expect her to talk to me on the phone for several hours each night.
veggirl Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 That's not normal in my experience, I'd probably exchange a couple light texts or something, it seems weird to meet someone, go a week NC and then go on a date. I'd assume there'd be a little get to know you over the phone or something.

Honestly I hate texting, maybe she does too!
