I had a first date with this women last Friday night and after the first date we decided to go out to a movie Sunday afternoon and it went really well. At the end of the date I asked if she wanted to go to a NBA game and she responded with she didn't know yet on the coming weekend. Both dates have gone great and have both ended with great kissing sessions. I texted her about her day Monday night to see how things were going and was asking if she wanted to go to the game with friends. She didn't know yet since she had a hectic work schedule.

Since Monday I haven't texted her just to give her space since she's busy. It sounds dumb but when should I realistically text her back to find out about confirming weekend plans?

Boat Builder,

I welcome you to this great site, first!

O do not procrastine. Space is required, only when there is crowd. You just have initiated your dating, so both of you must have been equally excited to see each other, too soon, too much and too closely. Just keep the date as early as possibly, and the days, how many might have passed, are PAST. Forget that, and just go and enjoy. When you will have around 15 or so dates, take some break, but only if she feels like taking one. This is love, dear. So, do not take it as one-sided affair.

When were you planning on getting tickets?

Contact her today and let her know that you need to finalize plans for this weekend because other people are also involved as well as getting tickets. Let her know you understand if she can't make it (or doesn't feel up to it) and see if you can make plans for another night (if you still want to attend the game.)

Does she like going to games?

Why not just call her instead of texting her?

It's obvious that she's not giving you a firm answer; and there must be a reason for that. We can't read her mind, but you won't know until you talk to her.

Cat made a great point about when you need to purchase the tickets by. Perhaps she's not interested in basketball and maybe you can propose that you do something else together.

Don't assume or presume, buy your tickets and if it turns out she can't make it by Friday, take a friend and see if she is free Sunday. (Super Bowl?? ) My point is you don't have to be eager, just have fun while she handles her business, and is free to have fun with you.

Heck she may be busy for a month!
