Went on a date on Saturday with the most lovely guy ever. Got on really, really well and have arranged another date in a few weeks. The thing is I just cannot stop thinking about him, literally, and it is driving me insane! How do I stop the massive urge I have not to call/text? I do not want to come across as a crazed stalker!

FYI I am not 15 I am 38, kids and divorced! Confused

why is the next date in a few weeks , there are no hard a fast rules about dating if you want to drop him a message I am sure he will appreciate it ...

Because we are both busy working away and with family.

He maybe sat thinking exactly the same , nothing wrong in just sending a nice 'how's your day been ' type of message .

Thank you ill ponder it. I really do not want to seem too keen although I so am! I just wish I could turn my mind off.

I agree with PP, texting. Are you sure you both have enough time for each other, a few weeks seems too long IMO, is a few weeks meaning more than a month? Who's so busy, him or both of you. I wouldn't want it to be any longer than two weeks for a second date, but that's just me.

Its not this Friday coming the one after. I am away working as well as having to travel with DS for a football tournament. He is also away working in between times so it will be impossible to see eachother. Gutted as I really want to see him badly. I feel 16 again! After 14 years of marriage its all new to me!

Right, that's not too bad then, two weeks. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that. Good luck to you.
