New to dating

[worriedandannoyed]

I had a social distanced walk yesterday with someone I've been chatting to on a dating app. Very new to all of this so I'm just not sure how it works these days.

We'd been messaging every few days, seen lots of photos of each other and are Facebook friends. Had a few phone calls that lasted hours prior to meeting. He seemed a nice genuine guy.

Got on well on the walk, lasted about an hour as we both had places to be.

Haven't heard from him since, he hasn't removed me from Facebook but equally hasn't messaged to say he'd like to see me again. To be honest we're very different people but I'd still be interested in something casual with him... do I message him or just leave it?

No don't bother, as you said you're very different people, he probably feels the same, when a date has gone well in the past for me, you just get that vibe it's gone well and quite often discuss meeting again before you leave and wouldn't feel awkward to reach out again. You're new to dating so they'll be plenty more opportunity to have a better connection.

I would leave it and move on.

I would leave it, doesn’t sound like he’s keen

You're not keen on him if you just want something casual with him. You can't make chemistry with someone no matter how nice they are.

He may be wondering why you haven't messaged?

If you want to see him again you could message.
Its not up to the man to send the first message, he might be having the same thoughts as you.

If you're worried about him not wanting to see you again just send a breezy 'Thanks for the walk yesterday, it was great to get out and chat in person. Maybe we could do it again some time'

Oo I’m going through this currently . Same thing went for a social walk on the 8th and nothing since . I’ve not sent him a message back as he clearly doesn’t want to get in touch. People can be cowards.

I agree totally.
