Jesus christ, y'all need to calm down! Just because he hasn't asked you out again yet? Most guys wait a few days - and he might not even know his schedule yet!
Now - if he asks you out the day of - you have other plans. He'll get the message soon enough that he has to make plans in advance. But so many of you are getting your panties all in a bunch over the first few encounters when you don't even really know this person yet! Be patient! Don't get all caught up in the texting! Quit jumping to convulsions, as my ex used to say.
First of all, I hate games myself. Never played them... Don't even know how to be honest.
So, I would not have answered his text last night by saying "next time". Not to play a game... just because I wouldn't have assumed there would have been a next time.
He said he had a nice time. I am sure he did.
After R and I had our first date...and there was clearly a deep interest on both sides...I didnt hear from him for a few days. I was fine with it, to be honest. I mean I really liked him, but, I was good either way. I had just met him. My life would go on. When we were talking about it months later...he said he just wanted a little time and space to think about me and make sure he took things slowly because he knew the potential.
Tonight the teacher texted you, flirted a little, shared a pic...all good things. He doesnt really need you to give him hints about a next date. If he wants one, he will ask. If he doesnt right away, doesnt mean he doesnt want one.
But you are getting yourself all upset already. Which you seem to do. And I am not sure why. It was one date. He showed interest afterwards. He is taking it at his pace. You either let him or you dont.
Take a breath. Slow those thoughts down. Leave him to his .
Again, y’all need to cool out! Frankly, if I had a first meet/date with a guy and the very next day he was anxious to set the next date right away I’d be a little turned off! He’s already texted to say he had a good time, texted and flirted the next day. Sounds pretty normal to me. I might then expect him to contact me in 2-5 days suggesting a date. I sure wouldn’t be checking my watch and counting texts though!
I’m with KML on this one Ginger. So happy to hear you had a nice time. Don’t ruin it by overthinking. I don’t really like games either but you know what, it is almost impossible to date and not be a bit strategic about It if you care about seeing the other person again. I think it is a GREAT sign that he texted you the next day to flirt. I would have been quite surprised if he asked you out right away. He likes you and I think he doesn’t want to scare you off by being too eager to see you again. My guess is that an invitation for a second date will come on Thursday or Friday. He was temperature checking today. You will hear from him again. In the meantime, check out the hot doctor...lol. (((HUGS)))
You all are right. I got excited there for a sec, then frustrated. If he wants, he will ask me Out again when he’s ready. He might not want.
On the meantime that doctor/marine legit responded to me. I changed my profile to read about how I’ve only been to 3 countries on the same continent, I only speak 2 languages, English and sarcasm, and I have a boring life and I love it that way. He was able to relate to me! He loves a bit farther away, but whatever.
I can’t be sitting here thinking I’m gonna get lucky and the first guy in a while will go somewhere. So I’m going to keep on looking
