Am I expecting too much?

So I've been single almost a year now, and in the past few months I've been dipping my toe back into the dating world so to speak.

Spoke to a few people but not had any real connections. I matched with an old school friend on tinder, and we spoke for a while before meeting up. We had a date and then we slept together. I know it wasn't the best idea and I should have waited but hey ho.

Anyway, since then he's hardly spoken to me and says he's been busy. I feel stupid in myself because I don't just usually sleep with people but I just felt so comfortable.

Should I just leave it and see if he initiates conversation? Or just forget about it and put it down to experience. I feel like I'm being overly needy but I'd rather someone tell me they were no longer interested than just speaking for the sake of it.

I think maybe best to assume he was only after a one night thing. People make time for those they want something more with. Not necessarily texting but at least letting you know they want to meet again and giving a rough date and place.

If it's been a week or more and theres no sign of that, forget about him and on to the next.

Yes you would know if he is interested. Put it down to experience. I wouldn't chase as it will potentially make you feel more rejected if he doesn't answer or is off hand. If he wants to see you again he will be in touch

I would say the same too and just leave it and put it down to experience, at least you had a good time.

Thank you guys! I know what I need to do. I usually don't care about being dropped but my ex is also playing up so I think everything has just gotten to me.

I'm thinking I'll have a 'me' day tomorrow and de-stress myself. I'll put it down to experience and get myself back on the dating scene.

I appreciate your replies x
