Feeling Like a Schoolgirl
Find a Conversation

I signed up on Match about a month ago just to see what might happen, I've done it before off and on and have always met pretty decent guys off of it. Anyways, I started talking to one guy and we had good conversation and we agreed to meet the next week after I got back from being out of town. Anyways, for some reason that week I just decided I'd sort of had it with dating and meeting guys (I also took my profile down), I just felt like being left alone basically and so I cancelled our date for that night saying I had to work late and rescheduled for the next day (thinking maybe I would change my mind), but then I cancelled that as well. Anyways, I decided to just suck it up and go on this date so I called him back and said that my work schedule had changed and that I could meet up later, so we agreed to meet up later that night, I thought it would just be a drink (maybe two) and then I could head home.
Anyways, long story short, we had a really great time and we hit it off right away, we joked about my cancelling on him and had a pretty good laugh about it so I don't think that is an issue or anything. We talked for about four hours and had a really good time. I mentioned a local festival that was going on this Sunday (today), he hadn't heard of it so he asked me to send him the email with the details and gave me his personal email address. At the end of the night he said that he would love to see me again and how he had a great time. I sent him the email with the details later that night and he responded the next day (Friday) saying he was glad we got to meet up and that he had a great time! and "talk to you soon".
We didn't agree to any plans today (its raining anyways) but I guess I was just hoping to have heard from him by now. It was just so unexpected for me to be this attracted to him, I wasn't even in the mood to go on a date in the first place. I'm trying not to be the girl that analyzes every detail about the conversation or wondering why he hasn't called, I can usually just write off a first date and not get my hopes up about a guy calling afterwards, but like my subject line indicates, I'm really feeling like a schoolgirl about this one. My impression from the email was that he would be the one to call or email me, I didn't respond to his email since the "talk to you soon" seemed to indicate he would do just that so I didn't think a response was necessary.
I hate feeling anxious, it is nice to feel excited about someone but it is also frustrating because my mind is playing out the whole date on repeat. Does anyone else ever do this after a really good date? I think he knows the ball is in his court, he knows I'm interested. Do you think there is a certain timeframe to assume an OLD guy isn't going to call?
