Who should text first?

Adult advice much appreciated.

 

Who should text first after meeting a potential date/boyfriend?

 

I'm female, 39 years of age, been single for over two years and last Saturday met a man whom I would be interested in seeing again. We actually kissed at a nightclub and hung out for a few hours. (FYI, I'm not a frequent flyer of nightclubs at all, just so happened a girls night kicked into the nightclub adventure).

 

He is 36 years of age and it was quite clear he was interested in me. We exchanged numbers and the next day in late Sunday afternoon, a girlfriend talked me into dropping him a text, which I did saying "was nice to meet you, if you're keen to meet up sometime, let me know". He texted back and exchanged three messages but all banter. He was the last one to communicate and I left it at that.

 

Should I text him again on Thursday night (which is tomorrow) seeing if he is free? Giving it one last shot surely wouldn't hurt or is a real turn off in a man's world?

 

Thanks.

Hey fellow Aussie!

 

I'd text him for sure. With something casual like 'Hey, i'm at (whatever bar) with a couple of friends, you should come by for a drink if you're free'

He probably won't be, but it'll give you some insight into whether he wants to see you again. If he does, he'll offer an alternative time to see you. If not, then I'd just leave it.

Text him!!!!!! I loved it when the woman I am now seeing text me in the begining stages. If he does not reply, then you have lost nothing. Good luck.

Do not text him! You've clearly expressed your interest in him, and if he's interested in you he will call you within a few days.

 

It's a big turnoff to have women chasing men.

Seriously, I don't understand the games people on here suggest playing. If you feel like texting, do it. If you don't, don't. This waiting around for a text is BS. Just do it if you're interested and don't overthink.
