Johnson1 Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) I recently started messaging a woman that I had met 8 years ago. We had met in church briefly after my divorce, but nothing ever came of it. Time passed and she got married and then divorced and I ended up in different relationships. We've been Facebook friends all these years, but rarely ever comment or like each other's posts. After her divorce about 2 years ago we had communicated through messaging about getting together and being friends, but even though I gave her my number she never called me. I asked her about meeting up but she never agreed to, even though she said she wanted to. Finally I gave up and everything just faded away after that. Over the last couple of days I commented on a post of hers on Facebook and we got into a great conversation and she messaged me and asked me what happened with my last relationship and if I was still engaged. She says she only wants to date and doesn't want a relationship and I agreed to that (I'm kind of sick in relationships at this point as well). We set a date to go out tomorrow night. We had a great conversation last night via messenger. This morning around 11:00am I messaged her and since it's Monday (a work day) I said, 'Work work. Hope you have a good day today'. She read it, but never responded, that is until 9:00 p.m. tonight. She asked me how my day was. Should I respond back now or should I wait till tomorrow? Maybe she waited so long not to seem over eager, but I don't want to seem over eager either. Edited August 17, 2021 by Vocals5
Wiseman2 Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 Meet up in person. See how that goes. This way you're not wasting time on a textbuddy when you could be dating women who are interested in you. 1
Blind-Sided Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 Yep..... Stop txt'ing. You build something in your mind that doesn't exist. Or worse... you won't have anything to talk about. You need a spark... and sitting silent isn't the way to do it. 2
d0nnivain Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 I think it's fine to wait until tomorrow (now today) to respond. I'm glad the date was fun & the conversation enjoyable but this is not a woman who is eager to do much so keep it light & NOT daily.
smackie9 Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 Acknowledge her text and tell her that you are looking forward to your date...then stop texting until the day of the date confirming details. 1
