I think I can guess what you're all going to say before I write this...I have been a single parent for 4 years since my son was a baby. I have only had one relationship in that time as I hardly ever get the chance to go out as my son's father lives miles away and doesn't see him. I really miss sex (and a relationship) but sex mostly! On Saturday I went out with a friend who has a 16 year old who babysits for us sometimes and met a man who is a friend of hers.

My friend had been trying to set me up with this man for ages. Anyway, had a few drinks and went back to his...had great sex and a really nice time. I do have some reservations such as I think he's tight with money but to be honest it was just so nice to be with someone I fancied and who fancied me.

Spent Sunday with him and he said a few things about seeing me again - 'such as next time I'll make sure I shave properly...' I had to text him and he said 'I have your number now' so I said 'well call me' and he said he would. He also said he was quite shy (I can come across as not at all shy and quite demanding but am shy really) But we didn't make arrangements to meet up and I'd really like to know whether to text him - just say I had a good time or leave him ...???

Why don't you text him to say 'hello' or something like that. Then the ball is in his court and you can see what happens next... It's only been a day since you saw him so don't give up yet! Good luck

don't call him, you have already texted him so now he has your number and he said he will call you, leave the ball in his court to contact you, if he is interested he will call you

Don't text or call him, just be patient and wait. You saw him on sunday so it's a bit soon to make contact again.

Leave it. Men like a bit of a chase anyway, if you seem to keep it might put him off.

If he's interested he will contact you, but don't fret if you don't hear from him all week.

It's agony isn't it! I'd wait until later in the week and if you haven't heard from him just text him to say hello. I don't think you should make excuses for him being shy, you don't want to be with a man who doesn't know how to make a woman feel special. Be strong and good luck and glad you enjoyed the sex again after such a long time.
