HELP... Did I do the Right Thing??

I'm a 42 y-o divorced woman who recently got out of a 3yr relationship and back on the dating scene. I met a great guy on Match.com and after talking for about 2 wks, he asked me out. The first date was great. There was a lot of chemistry, we had much in common, and the next day he expressed a desire to see me again. We've talked almost every day this past week since the date and everything seemed fine. Yesterday, he mentioned that at first he wasn't sure how to 'read' me because I appeared 'stand-offish'. He HAD actually teased me about having a 'poker face' on the night of our first date and I assured him at that time that I was interested. Our conversations have been stimulating and he sounds like he's into me. The problem is that he hasn't asked me out on a second date yet and his comment yeterday has me worried that he may not be interested. I sent him an email last night saying that I hoped he didn't get the impression that I was not interested. I told him that I like him a lot and I told him why I liked him. I left the ball in his court as to whether or not to call me. What are my chances of getting a second date?

Thank You!

<< Honestly, I feel like an inexperienced teenager:-(
Thank you so much for your help. >>

You're welcome. That's what we're here for. I've been doing the dating and relationships thing for, oh ... 20 years now (LOL) ... haven't been married ... and believe me, I've been around many blocks and experiences ... though, seriously, it's only been in the last few years that I can truly say that I can and do live by my own advice, ha. Wish I'd had a message board to turn to when I was trying to figure it all out! :)

Well there's definitely a shot, but I would leave it up to him. In future it's great to let him know you;re interested, especially when he expresses doubts but then you don't have to elaborate on all the reasons why.


But you've done nothing wrong, If he asks you out, great. In the meantime there are other fish in the cyber-sea. And this dating thing is a numbers game.
