Contact between 1st and 2nd date?

[popsugar]

I had a date went well, he contact me within 30 mins of date saying "thanks for lovely evening, next time I would like to take you to dinner"

I responded that I enjoyed it etc and dinner sounded great, we carried on messaging for bit then said goodnight.

Since then I haven't heard anything (2 days now)

Unsure what to read into this, what is usual contact between 1st and 2nd date?

From your own experiences do you think this is odd/red flag?

I wouldn't necessarily read much into it. Some people are text-happy, others less so. I don't text people I'm in the very early stages of dating anything close to every day. I have close friends I don't text every day. Near strangers aren't going to be treated any differently! Daily text contact is just never something I've gotten into. Not texting doesn't mean I don't like somebody - more just that I presume men I've only seen once or a handful of times aren't really interested in the minutiae of my everyday life and I'd rather save conversation to in person or proper texts about something out of the ordinary.

I think messaging later or tomorrow to ask how his weekend is going and if would he like to go out again one day this week etc is well-pitched, personally.

Nice one popsugar. Based on my own behaviour, if he wasn’t too interested he wouldn’t have replied right away. Enjoy the chat and the second date!

Good luck popsugar, be nice to hear a happy outcome.
