Did I jump the gun?!

[Froggytog]

I've started back on Tinder after a long hiatus-last guy I met off it really did a number on my self esteem so only plucked up courage to go back on recently.Met 2 guys off it so far.Really seemed to hit it off with second guy and he said he wanted to see me again,exchanged numbers,some texts for few days.He mentioned second date a few times but no specific plans.Then texts stopped.I assumed he's not interested so deleted him.Been here before and if no date planned in a week or so I assume,despite words, they not keen.He's just texted now after 5 days wondering how my weekend away was.I had told him I was looking at hotels but never specified which weekend.It wasn't this weekend. Says he didn't contact me cos though I was on hols.I'm getting feeling he's bullshitting though and whoever else didn't work out.Says he wants to meet again.I don't know what to do.Did I jump the gun?My gut is screaming at me but maybe it's cos of last guy I dated.Help!!!

He said after first date he wanted to meet again,so did I.He took my number.I messaged him safe home(he drove to see me).He said joking hoped we'd get closer next date(covid) and mentioned something he'd give me on next date.But he never made a next date and then stopped texting so I didn't follow up assuming he's not interested.

@Mountaingoatling
Dud u read my post!He didn't wish me a good holiday and I wasn't on holiday!!!!

I did read it! But misread it. Sorry.

Think I would have said.. 'so this next date' and seen what happened. If blew out again I would have stopped texting too.

I think you should meet him again

I texted him last night saying I was on for meeting again and I'd leave the details to him.We're meeting Thur and he's organising stuff....so we'll see.....

Keep in mind the screaming of your gut.

If all goes well with this guy for an extended period (and I hope it does), then have a little look into your responses, because high alert reactions can cause difficulties in relationships.

If it doesn't go well, take it as a lesson to listen to your gut.

Enjoy your date!

Sounds like he was waiting for you to suggest details for a second date. Why should it be up to him to organise ?

Update:second date went great-for me but apparently not for him,lol.He was texting all the time for the days after but no mention of meeting again and on Mon,poof,never heard from him again!So yes I think I'll trust my gut in future lol.
