thecrucible Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I went on a date with man from here almost two weeks ago. I emailed a few hours afterwards to thank him for the wonderful date. He emailed back asking me on another date and I sent him ideas for what we might do and left him my number. He told me last Friday that he is going on holiday for a week and replied to my message saying that he liked my ideas and this: "We'll decide on something when I get back. Thanks for your number. Talk to you soon". I took that as a sign that I should wait for him to get back to me when he returns so I haven't followed up with him during the last week. I doubt he would have much time to reply either if he is enjoying his holiday. Was this the right thing to do?
InsaneTrombone Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I see a lot of these 'I'm on holiday' or 'I'm on vacation, I'll get back to you when I return' posts on here. Makes you wonder...
Author thecrucible Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Wait, you met someone off here and your posting about it for him to see??? Sorry I pasted this from a forum on a dating site I use. Wanted to see more perspectives. Sorry for the confusion. Whoops!
Cutiepie1976 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Wouldn't he see it on the dating site if you also posted it there? Anyway, he gave you the "Don't call me, I'll call you" directive. If he's interested, he'll be in touch. In the meanwhile, carry on with your life, including dating others. It was one date two weeks ago with no future dates confirmed on the horizon. 3
Author thecrucible Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Wouldn't he see it on the dating site if you also posted it there? Possibly but there are no links to the forum on the main part of the site. So it's a bit of a gamble. I took the plunge though because I thought it's unlikely he'd read the forums there. Next time I will just post here. Anyway, he gave you the "Don't call me, I'll call you" directive. If he's interested, he'll be in touch. In the meanwhile, carry on with your life, including dating others. It was one date two weeks ago with no future dates confirmed on the horizon. Yes you are right. I think I just wanted the clarification that I did the right thing. Back into dating again and can't remember which rules are which - some say meet the guy half way, and some say let the man make the move. I decided to take the latter piece of advice, and going by what you said, I'm glad I haven't chased him up whilst he's been away. The thought did enter my head but my intuition was telling me not to do it. I don't know if he has any particular way of doing things, or if he's playing it by ear. I think he's like me - not really a seasoned dater but been on a few dates. However maybe this doesn't make any difference as to how he reacts.
Author thecrucible Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Ah I'm so silly! And now super embarrassed 'cause I actually just got a text from him. Feel like a dumbass now.
