After a first date

Met a guy a few months ago through a friend's birthday party and I ended up getting his number. Anyway, we decided to finally meet up on Sunday just gone... its now Thursday night and I havent heard from him.

Thought date went really well, we had a laugh and joke and a kiss at the end. I text him when I got home saying that I had a nice night and hoped he did too and maybe we could do it again some time. Didnt get a reply. So I text him on Tuesday a jokey text saying that I knew he was bad at texting but do I take it that he doesnt want to know or that he genuinely is crap a texting.

After coming out of a 3 year relationship in April 2005, I finally feel ready to move on, and feel that me and this guy get on really well and want to get to know him a bit better.

Do I text him again or not? Going on holiday Monday so tempted to text him on Sunday asking him if he wants to meet up when I get back and if he dont reply I know what the answer was... or do I just leave it and forget I ever met him?

Hi Nichola1985!

From experience I think you just need to let things be! Don't call or text him anymore! You are looking sorta "Desperate"... even though I am sure you're not! You made an attempt now let him contact you if and/or when he wants to! Don't wait around for a phone call! Enjoy life and enjoy being single! There TRUELY ARE MANY FISH IN THE SEA!!!

J_9 agrees: Beautiful, you never want to sound desperate.

Dont text anymore. Please. Do your self a favour. Stop hitting the send button.

Your are looking or seeming clingy already and it is only one date. Some people are scared by that.

Please leave it alone and let him respond this time. Let him be the one to contact you.

Joe

Yeah let him contact you. Youve tried and done your bit. He'll contact you if he wants to!
But dont worry about it too much. you are going to have heaps of dates, some are going to be great and youll go again. some will suck and you will delete his number the moment you leave.
Its called dating. There are heaps more out there so dont worry too much about this one!

I wouldn't text him. You've already done so twice. Let him contact you. If he doesn't then you'll just have to write this one off. If he does, then you can take it from there.

From reading her post, it sounds like she only texted him once, on Tuesday.

Next Monday she is going on holiday so she is thinking about texting him on Sunday (today is only Thursday, Sunday is in 3 days)

Nicola1985,

Did he even get your first text?

You said he is bad with them.

Give him a call on the weekend, to say hi. If no response from that, let it drop.

J_9 agrees: It is possible he does not read texts, I know I don't cause my plan charges extra for them.

hi Nicola1985,

i agree with all your answers.
DO NOT text him anymore, you have done enough texting, if was interested he would have messaged you back.
As said before, you dont want to come across as desperate.

Now unless you really really like him and you think he is worth any other try call him... Sometimes calling is better then messaging i believe you get a better idea if the other person is interested.
or
Leave it, go on your holiday, enjoy yourself, if he messages you during your holiday i wouldnt even message back immediatley, let him dwell on it for a while.

Good Luck and enjoy ur holiday

If he wanted to he would call but don't wait on him just go about what you were doing in your life and having fun, there are a lot more fish in the sea.

Yer, I know theres alot more fish in the sea. But it does get lonely in the meantime. And I did text him twice, once after the date saying I had a good time and secondly on the Tuesday, 2 days later telling him that he was crap at texting ( as we had a long chat about texting and he was telling me how bad he was at it) and that I didnt know whether he wasnt replying for a reasn.

I will not text him unless he texts me now....is hard though! lol.

Thanks for all the advice peeps...gives me more will power to be doing what I know I should be doing in the first place!

Maybe because he is not good at texting he just doesn't do it. I know I delete all of my texts #1 because I ma not good and I think it a waste of time and #2 my plan does not allow for very many texts before charging extra.

Just go on holiday and have fun. Forget about him for now. If he calls you, hey GREAT, if not, well, it's his loss.
