When would you expect to hear from him again?

No I'm not a bloody teenager, but I've been out of the dating game forever and am clueless.

Last time I was waiting on a call from a man it involved a phone box or the shared phone in the hall. I feel like with it being so easy now, it should be more frequent?

Anyway I went out with a friend at the weekend. It was my suggestion and I thought it was a platonic arrangement, although there had been a frisson for a while.

Quite early on it became apparent that for both of us this was more date than friends and we had a lovely evening, lots snogging towards the end.

We met up yesterday with mutual friends and everything was normal and friendly. We did have a brief minute where we just checked no regrets and agreed all good.

We both said it feels like a risk because of the friendship group, but one worth taking. Both agreed we're not looking for anything serious and I definitely mean that, something casual every week or two is fine by me. OTOH I don't want to be taken for a fool.

We're both away (seperately) next weekend and have already planned something for 4 weeks time (pre date). I don't feel I should be the next person to make contact as I arranged the "date", it's his turn. How much would you expect to hear from him in the next 3/4 weeks?

You don't want serious you only want casual

But are stressing over who contacts who and when!

If you want casual, be casual.

It can be casual but still important to you though can't it? I most definitely am not looking for another husband and have a busy life which wouldn't accommodate seeing someone every night, but equally don't want to mess this up, especially the friendship group bit.

Equally, if he's not interested really, I'd rather know.
