2nd date with online match

4 replies

There's this girl I've matched with via online dating. We've been hitting it off very well, perfect flirt/banter ratio and talk everyday.

However the last time I spoke to her was on Sunday. I was trying to line up a date with her and she asked to do the next day (always a good sign) but I mentioned being busy until Wednesday onwards due to a house move. I requested she check her calendar and get back to me which she agreed but I haven't heard since.

I don't want to over pursue or be pushy as I've given her the option to get back to me. However I'm concerned we used to speak 6-7 times a day on text and now I haven't heard anything from her in 3 days.

How should I play it to keep the attraction going but at the same time not over chase?

I don’t think you should read anything into not hearing from her, there could be perfectly simple reasons; we’ve just had Christmas, COVID, family etc.
Just send a text asking how she is, and take it from there.

One more try, she might of thought you were giving her the brush off and not believed you were that busy?

Just send a text asking how's things.
If no reply then leave it and move on

thanks for the reply here. I did tell her I was moving house so I think she gets it...Her rationale on Sunday was saying she's the only on in office (she works within the medical sector, emergencies, etc) and would get back to me so a part of me just wants to respect that..

I also noticed she deleted the app we were on..she did flag on the first date she does that from time to time due to burnout so that's why I'm thinking ok maybe hang back...

If she doesn't get back tomorrow I was thinking of just writing back saying "house move all sorted and winding down for the week. Hope you're having a lovely week x" and just leave it as that.
