How much 'chasing' at the beginning of a relationship..?

So this guy at work chased me for a bit and showed an interest, asked me out, took me for a fabulous night out on my birthday etc

A few weeks later however it seem to be me sending the first text etc he always seems keen in his response and what have you but I am starting to wonder if I should just not initiate the next date and see if he actually bothers.

What do you think? He hasn't given me anything to go on so I have no idea if he's interested/not interested or anything..

Right just had a text saying he's free tonight and tomorrow night so which is best for me... has he just assumed that we would see each other?!? it's not supposed to be this difficult is it.

I agree. He left it too late. Nope, not going to play his little games of 'oh, I'll bet she'll cancel whatever plans she had'.

No time for BS.

Delete and move on.

i used to do the chasing when i was in the high school!.....

Luckily i fancied the pants off DP and he fancied the pants off me so there was no chasing but he used to ring me whenever i wasnt with him. (we lived about 40 mins drive away from each other).

but he knows I don't have a life! or a babysitter lol... so I can't really say I'm busy both nights although that would be funny actually.

He doesn't really have much of a life either

its up to you but play it cool

MascaraOHara · 07/09/2007 14:11

I don't know, we've seen each other the last few weekends and a couple of evenings during the weeks in between so not like he's been absent so to speak.

expatinscotland · 07/09/2007 14:11

I'd still give him a swerve.

MascaraOHara · 07/09/2007 14:12

Will carry on looking around the hotel sites and see if I can find something cheap enough

Gadocd · 07/09/2007 14:12

I have OCD and GAD I am MellowMa but apparently NOT atm!!!!!

If it matters.

expatinscotland · 07/09/2007 14:13

Yeah, it sounds like he can't be arsed to text you except when there's nothing better on.

Bollocks to that.

I'd tell him I was having a friend over tonight and tomorrow my folks were babysitting and I made plans with a friend.

End of.

Sorry, been there, bought the tshirt.

MascaraOHara · 07/09/2007 14:13
