Hello everyone. I've been out of the dating life for a while and it seems so much has changed. I need a little advice. I'm so new to this that I'm not even really sure if I just had a "date" or it was just two friends meeting for drinks!
I met a guy online, not a dating site, but a message board site where we've both posted for a long time. We started emailing each other directly about two months ago and he suggested we meet for drinks.
We finally met up last night at his suggestion and I had a really good time. I THINK he did too, but I've had guys say "this was fun, lets do this again" and I never heard from them again so I'm not getting my hopes up or anything. But I just wanted to know if I should be the one to email him and tell him I had a nice time and thank him for the drinks (I offered to pay but he declined) or just wait to see if I hear from again? My instinct is to wait for him to make the next move, but just in case I'm wrong, I don't want to blow it.
Thanks!
PS - The reason I "think" he had a good time (he's kind of laid back so its hard to tell) is that he emailed me beforehand and said he wanted me to know that it couldn't be a late night and he needed to go by about 10:00 because he had to be at work very early but he didn't make any move to leave until 10:40. So I at least know he wasn't counting the minutes until he could flee! :-)
Also, I'm posting this on one of the other "understanding men" type boards so sorry if you've already read this.

Hi
You could send a casual little email thanking him for the drinks and saying you had a nice time. But let him be the one to do the asking out
