Should I hold off on texting him?

Met a guy a couple of months ago, friend of a friend. We saw each other a couple of times as part of a group, and I added him on Facebook. Didn't really think too much of it, I just thought be was cool.

He started messaging me a few weeks ago, just friendly stuff, talked about work and food (we talk about food a lot!).

Anyway at the weekend we were both off work, I was going to see a play my friend was in and I'd messaged this guy during the day asking what his plans were, he didn't really have any but said he'd be going to the pub where he worked to get out of the house. I said cool, might join you later. Which I did.

We spent a few hours together, then met up with a mutual friend and we all went back to mine for a few more drinks. It gets to the end of the night, mutual friend is on the phone to another friend in the other room and me and this guy have a bit of a kiss and cuddle. We briefly discuss him staying over but decide it's too soon.

I texted him on Sunday and again last night, but should I be sticking to the whole three day rule thing? I'm really not very well practiced at dating, I don't want to come across as way too keen but I would like to see him again! I've told him this, so should I leave it to him to text me now?

No worries, I totally get that. He doesn't strike me as the type to just want casual sex, but you're right, I really don't know him very well so I could be totally wrong.

As for why he hasn't texted, I don't know. I might drop him a text later though, see how his day was.

Well we've been texting, getting to know each other more, and he's suggested getting a coffee or a drink at some point! Yay!

He's a bit concerned we might not have much common ground (he's a huge nerd, his words, not mine) but it's still early days so we'll see.

Just thought I'd update in case anyone was interested Smile
