I'm 31 and just back into the dating pool after a failed marriage. I finally had a date with a guy I have had a crush on for over 15 years, since my freshman year of high school. I had contacted him and we talked for the first time on a Saturday. On Sunday he called and asked me out for the following Saturday. We talked a couple times during the week and sent text messages. When I met him for our date on Saturday, he told me I looked nice. He was a complete gentleman in every way. During dinner he maintained eye contact, asked me questions about me, laughed at everything I said, and even suggested we go to the local amusement park sometime, if it wasn't closed for the year. When we arrived at the movie theater he gently touched my back, leading me into the theater. Before the movie we looked at pictures on our phones and he commented on how he liked this one picture of me and the dress I was wearing. We looked at each other often during the movie. He rubbed my arm for a second. When the movie was over I mentioned what a good time I had had... he said nothing but smiled. When we arrived back at my car, he suggested I start it to warm it up. We talked for a few more minutes before we both stepped out of his car. He told me to call him if I was ever interested in going out again. He had mentioned before that he is awful about calling because he is so worried he'll be calling someone at the wrong time. He initiated a hug good night and I told him he could call whenever he wanted to talk. I sent him a text on Sunday telling him, again, thank you, I had a great time, and would love to see him again soon. He never responded. Now I'm wondering if I made a mistake doing that. I haven't heard from him, but then does the 3 day rule still apply? Should I call him in a few days? He is so shy! I just don't want to appear over anxious, but it seems like if I want to see this go anywhere than I'm going to have to be a bit more assertive. He paid me several compliments, but never on my looks. What do I make of all this?

He's not interested. Leave him be and let him come to you.
