To wait for him to message?

[Fullrecoveryispossible]

Long story short, I had a great date on Monday, good kiss at the end. He messaged that night saying he had fun, would like to hang out again soon, and I replied saying the same, thanks for the lift home etc. And now nothing…
We sent maybe two messages each every evening and didn’t speak the couple of days leading up to the date…
I really did like him! Should I wait for him to message something or should I send another text (which to me seems a bit desperate, even though my last text was just saying thanks for the lift).

Send a text!

If he doesn’t reply you’ve got your answer. It sounds like you’re not big texters anyway, he might not have thought to text.

You won’t appear needy after three days, and you’ll have your answer either way.

Hey Dave,

Really enjoyed the other night and wondered whether you’d like to do it again daily for the rest of your life?

I’ve booked a church, just bring yourself

No, in all seriousness just ask him how work/life/something has been this week. It’s not weird to text someone after a date, I hate this weird game people play tbh. I bagged my DH of 10 years and counting with a message not too dissimilar to the one above

Message him!

Message him.

Thank you all. Very short but sweet message sent. Feels a relief either way, not to have to be waiting

Has he responded?

I hope he responds

Hope he replies to you.

Arrghhhh now I am sat waiting for the reply, like the op.

Do you normally text each other late? Otherwise he might not look at it til the morning. The anticipation builds....fingers crossed OP.

Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed that he responds 🤞

Did he respond?

I love threads like this

Dating is so fraught and angst-ridden!

I hope he replies!!

I love this kind of humour! That would have really made me laugh

Place marking for an update!

Me too

On a first date whilst walking around town between places we kept stopping and chatting at random shop windows.

The pleasure on her face was immense as she watched my expressions change whilst we spent a partlcularly long time talking generally at one shop window with the cogs in my brain slowly background processing the contents of the shop window and her discussing the pros and cons of each part of the display ….. of wedding dresses

Well just as an update. He called me today, very old school gentleman who I get the sense doesn’t use technology too much which is refreshing. He told me he’d like to pick me up on Sunday for a walk and a drink. Great news all round I think!

Yes, OP! Really pleased for you! Have a great date

Lovely be sure to let us know how it goes 😊

Whoop! Well done OP!

Love old school romance
