I went on a great first date with a guy in his late 20s, around 4 years older than me. He paid for the drinks, we stayed out around 3.5 hours. His body language suggested he found me attractive as did his text at the end of the night... Seemed to have a very similar sense of humour and chatted the whole time. I was trying to play it cool but I was thrilled when he asked to see me again on a specific day the week after - all good. We messaged a bit that night, I thanked him and said it was great, we chatted about the second date and I left it there.
He then got in touch a few days later to give me some advice on something we’d spoken about during the date - very sweet! We chatted a bit more, all instigated by him, lots of questions from him - and then he never replied to my last message. Why did he bother seemingly expressing so much interest, inviting me out again, getting in touch out of the blue? I am sitting in my hands but feel like I have nothing to lose if I say something? I know he’s going through a weird time with work but what?! He seemed more invested hence why I got excited to see him again. Feel like a fool
