Advice Please on Next Step

I met someone through Match about three weeks ago. We exchanged several emails for about the first week then he sent me his cell phone no. We talked occassionally but most of our correspondence was via email or text messaging. Our first in person meeting was over lunch last week. We spent about 2 hours together. We also talked on the phone later that night. It seemed like everything went well.

Since then though he has only called once (got my vmail) and sent about 4 or 5 text messages or emails. I know he is busy (single dad and Im a single mom), but should I take this as a sign that he maybe didn't think it went as well or what? Just not sure what the next move should be or who should be making it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated since this is the first "date" I've had as an adult. I am in the process of a divorce from my H of 9 years.

Thanks.

He's still communicating, that's always a good sign. Bottom line, If he's really interested in you he will ask you out again. So don't call him, let him call you, and soon you'll have your answer. I'm an old fashioned gal, I let them persue me, and believe me men love the thrill of the chase.

Hello Jellybean05,

Seems to me it can still go either way, depending on why he has slowed down the communication. I am like you, and I would tend to take it as a sign since it seems to have slowed down after meeting....But I hope it works out the way you would like it to!
