Sand Man Dan Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 he texted me good night after he made sure I got home ok.. and while on the date he talked about getting together next week (no specific day or plan) given how good we got on with each other I would be so surprised that he didn't think it was great hanging out together! does that really happen?? I just don't like the silence and wonder is this what I should expect dating someone with kids or is this just that typical 'after the first date' manoeuvring some people do? You're spot on. He probably likes you but doesnt want you to feel crowded so hes keeping it light initially. And it's probably the latter. 1
Author Ok Good Posted December 29, 2013 Author Posted December 29, 2013 I'm with Gottabestrong. I'm a single parent. My bf shares custody with his ex. Since our first date, whether he had the kids or not, it was not an inconvenience to send a quick text. If I haven't heard anything in 48hrs, I would assume the date was not as great for him as it was for me, but that's just me. But I also would not hesitate to shoot him a text as well just to say hello. well, IF I don't hear from him in the next couple of days more than likely it's because I denied him sex...
Smthn_Like_Olivia Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 well, IF I don't hear from him in the next couple of days more than likely it's because I denied him sex... If you DON'T hear from him because you denied him sex, then you're better off. 4
Iguanna Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 You remind me of the scene from the movie of "He's not that into you" where girls try to guess why the guy hasn't called yet saying ridiculous excuses instead of seeing the obvious: he was not that into her. In your case though it's too premature to decide whether he likes you or not. He spent 10 hours on the first date, that can be a good and a bad sign. Maybe he had a really great time or maybe he was trying to make you get in bed with him. I think that both opinions you posters have can be an option. On one hand he could have just sent a text of 20 seconds. On the other hand he is totally justified cause he is with his kids. I suggest you wait some days and see what happens. But if he does contact you again and see him again, it's a good idea to tell him that you would expect a text from him when he is with his kids just for hello. 1
