I’ve recently joined OLD and went for my first date (since getting divorced a year ago) last night with a lovely guy. We had a great date which ended up lasting hours and seemed to really get on, but we didn’t actually set up another date or really mention one happening. I’m conscious that I discussed during the date how I’ve enjoyed being single after a long marriage and finding myself again. I made it clear I’m not looking for anything too full on initially, as I enjoy my own space (to which he agreed he felt exactly the same).
Received a message from him this morning thanking me for a lovely date and saying how much fun he had, however, still no mention of whether he wants to see me again. I cant work out whether he’s playing it cool (in view of what I said) or whether he’s just not that in to me and this type of message is a polite way of saying not interested.
I’m in my 40s, was previously married for 15 years so I’m very much out of touch with OLD and what’s considered the norm! I’d love to see him again, but don’t want to embarrass myself if I’m just not picking up on the signs it’s not reciprocated. Any advice would be appreciated as to how I should take this message and how I should respond!
