What does this text mean?

My apologies for this being so teenage.

I've been on a couple of dates with a man I really like. I asked him if he was free for a drink yesterday, which he wasn't. Fair enough. So I text back saying 'Okay. Let me know if you do fancy a drink one day x', and the reply was 'Of course x'.

Is he saying of course he'll let me know if he does decide he fancies it, or of course he does fancy it? I don't want to make a fool of myself by beating a dead horse, but I've been single for years and really like him.

give us more than that! What did you talk about? How was it left? Has another date been arranged? So glad it went well for you

Grin Talked about loads - friends, work, politics, previous relationships, travels etc.

It was left very well. Haven't arranged another date yet. He did mention about an event later on in late spring and asked if I would fancy it, which I think is positive.

He's got a business trip this weekend, but he's already been back in touch, very enthusiastically.

Whilst I would keep my options open , I wouldn't listen to the ridiculous comments saying not to contact him or too let him do the running. What are we kids? If you are interested, let him know, if he you think he isnt interested or he isn't worth the effort than stop.
You only live once and you don't want to regret missed chances just to keep some kind of outdated view on how life should be.

Thanks. I’m pleased I let him know. He is definitely interested Smile

Totally agree @Cheeseandwin5!

The negativity/ pessimism in this thread is almost ok much.
Glad you just listened to the comments you liked OP!

He's not interested in my opinion.

From that text it sounds like you are doing all the running and initiating. He's already told you he can't make one date- if he was really keen why wouldnt he suggest an alternative? This just seems like too much hard work on your part. If you really like someone you dont leave them hanging with vague texts- you do everything you can to engineer seeing them again. Thats what you are doing but what about him?
sorry OP

Cancel the cheque Grin

@Hazzy135 As you said. And I see it’s already started again this morning.

Shakespearian55 · 10/01/2020 11:00

@beautifulstranger101 He did suggest an alternative and we've already been out!

@beautifulstranger101 at least read the OP’s latest post if you can’t RTFT before you said it’s hopeless!

Hated them. Not worth the money at all
