I met this guy on Tinder. We had some good conversation and switched to texting (he asked for my number). He was intrigued by my hobbies and we talked about come common interests.

 

He said something I found a little odd (it was just him flirting but I got this same line with an ex from tinder.)

 

him: so there is a downside to txt over tinder.

me: what's that?

him:i can't just hit your name at the time whenever I want to see that cute smile :)

me: haha :)

me: would you be interested in meeting up for a drink sometime?

him:yeah absolutely, your smile in person has to be immeasurably better :)

him: do you have plans on friday?

me: no plans on fri

him:awesome, want to plan for then?

me: yeah, friday sounds good

me: do you have any favorite places?

him: lol you beat me to it, i was literally typing "any area you're particularly fond of"

me: lol oops! (i named a couple sections of our city)

him: ok great, i'm pretty flexible as well (set up a plan for a place without door seating and 2 places for backup if it rains)

me: ok that sounds good to me!

 

after this we chatted a bit more.he asked what i prefer in terms of drinks.

 

I told him beer over wine. For whatever reason he found that surprising and wouldn't guess that about me. I went on to say cocktails were my first choice.

 

him:haha that's a bit more of what i was expecting. Clearly you're a tough read *name*

me: haha full of surprises I guess :)

him: perfect, i love surprises :) what else is surprising about you?

him: (hobby of mine) and (hobby of mine) are tough to come by, i have to think there's more

 

went on to tell him some random/interesting facts about me.He found them funny and cute.

 

I asked him what was surprising about him. and he told me a few interesting things about himself.

 

Anyways, he ended the convo saying he had to get ready for bed and he was looking forward to friday (our date) and to have a good night :)

 

I replied me too! have a good night :)

 

 

We agreed to meet friday and have both a roof deck and 2 rain backup locations. We agreed to meet at the roof deck bc it doesn't look like there will be rain.

 

So my questions are:

 

1) did I jump the gun by asking him out and then asking where he'd like to go?

 

(Don't know if this looked too eager, but it felt natural in the moment as the convo was going well. I also didn't really know how to respond to the "i can't look at your smile over txt as easily" comment.)

 

2) should I wait for him to give me a date time? Or should i text thursday evening to ask?

sounds like he is interested in you... tell him a time you wanna meet & go from there. if he accepts you know he wanted to see you if he doesn't then o well

Because there is a rain contingency, I'd confirm the plans Friday afternoon.

 

Looks like good weather. I'll meet you at [roof deck] at 7.
