Hello!
I’m new to dating after a really lengthy, upsetting divorce. I guess my confidence has been shaken quite a bit because of that and I’m finding myself second guessing everything I say or do.
So...last week I went on a really lovely date with a guy. It was the best date I’ve ever been on, I felt like I could have skipped all the way home with happiness. He told me he’d really like to see me again. He’s messaged a good couple of times since.
Yesterday (Friday) he messaged asking what my plans were for this weekend. I told him I had lunch planned for my friend’s birthday but apart from that I was planless. He told me he was also busy Saturday morning, but also planless for the rest of the weekend.
I was kind of hoping he would then suggest we met up, given that we had both stated that we were free, but he made no such move. He’s sent a few more messages today but with no mention of a second date.
Perhaps I’m just being impatient, but do you think I should just go ahead and ask him if hes free to meet up tomorrow for a date? I know it’s silly, and I don’t want to play silly games but I feel a little reluctant to because I was the one who suggested going for coffee for the first date, and I would feel more reassured about his interest in me if he went ahead and suggested this next date.
Just as an FYI, I have wondered about whether he’s just a little shy but when we met, he appeared like a really socially confident, emotionally intelligent kinda guy so I can’t imagine that’s the issue?
