I went on a date (dating app) with a guy a few days ago. We both had a similar type of humour (wordplay/puns etc) and sent some amusing messages to each other beforehand.
We got on well on the date and I thought he was attractive but there wasn't that "spark" for me. He is also around 5 years older and seems to be looking to settle down whereas I am not really. I think while there was some sort of mutual attraction (gleaned from his comments etc, although may not be the case ofc), we are quite different people although with randomly similar interests e..g both work in same industry/similar humour.
Long story short, we ended up getting drunk together and had fun - he was respectful and got me home, nothing happened. It was kind of a flirty mates vibe and I genuinely didn't feel any chemistry on my part.
He texted on the weekend asking how I was and then messaged to say that he enjoyed meeting me but that he thought we were quite different (my feelings also - I would have gone on a second date if he'd asked, more to suss the situation/from an open-minded perspective but agree with his logic). His words were "I enjoyed meeting you - you are officially the punniest lady I've met. I think we're quite different but stay in touch (I know [name of dating app] is not about pen pals) but you can't lose a good punner when you meet them!"
I replied saying it was a fun night but that I was on the same page and agreed we are pretty different.
My question is, is it worth dropping him a message in a week or two seeing if he wants to meet as mates down the line? Or is that weird?! I would be open to it but would welcome opinions!
