First date

[Philosopher]

Yes there are some guys out there that will be polite to ease their way out of a situation instead of some guys that will just ignore them without texting, or calling

 

From the sounds of it he texted her more out of politeness rather than genuine interest. In his text he did not say anything that could further the conversation. That said I think the only way to be sure is to wait and see whether he asks her out for a second date.

 

When I first started doing online dating I used to send texts after the date saying it was good to meet you out of politeness, even I had no intention of meeting up again. I stopped doing this as I felt it could misinterpreted as a genuine sign interest.

Def agree with you. When you don't text them after, you just keep them wondering if you're still interested or not for a short while, until they realize you're not going to be talking to them anymore. Honestly if us guys we're just straight up honest after first dates, it wouldn't cause all the confusion

Seriously, we are just wondering about his text. Not about her reply? Was it manners or some kind of him being interested?

 

No! Why don't you let your friend on here to speak for herself?

She asked me, we were discussing it and I told her about this forum and said lets see what guys think.

Sorry, if that upsets you.

To me personally, follow up text is a good sign but it does sound little cold so it might be just good manners. But I have also heard that if guys are not interested they dont even bother texting once the date is over.

 

This is not true. The ones with good manners normally do.

Update:

He texted her and asked her out again. Thanks everyone for replying, I guess sometimes it is impossible to tell. Who knows? Maybe he wasnt as interested but thought he would give it another try... maybe he was.

And for all of you telling me to let my friend type in here-you do realize we do not spend 24 hours together. Thanks. Next time, I won't give you any context, just ask the question if that upsets you. Once again, it was my friend, not me. Thank you for your time
