First date - what to expect after

Started chatting to a guy on a dating app and then I mentioned we should go for a drink - as find it tedious the talking on the apps. Although he didn’t seem like my usual type when we met I was instantly attracted to him and we had an amazing first date.

He seemed really into me and had a really great date went out to a few bars and ended up dancing in a club with him till 4am ( despite me previously saying I was only going for one drink)

Woke up to a text off him saying he had a really good night and would love to take me on another date. And he sent a couple of texts throughout the day. He mentioned what days he is free but I didn’t want to seem super keen so I didn’t say when I’m next free - I just made random conversation asking if the hangover had lifted. That was early-ish yesterday and he has left it on unread.

He wasent a big messager from what I’ve gathered before the date (I.e. I wasent sure if date was going ahead as he had not messaged all day before)

In the past ive dated a few love bombers where it’s been really intense and ive overinvested and fell for these types of people. He doesn’t seem to be like that so far (well I certainly don’t get those vibes). So I’m thinking this level of contact is normal? Should I have responded with what days I am free - I am wary of OLD as had some not great experiences.

I’ve messaged him mentioning what days I am free so hopefully I get a response. Just don’t want it to look too much that he’s still not opened the last message I sent yday

It isn’t too much at all, because you didn’t reply to his message properly the first time.
If I’d said when I was free and a man ignored me I’d 100% think he wasn’t that interested.

Life is short, ditch the games and just be honest and brave ♥️
