Texting?

I am new to the dating world. I have been in one relationship for 15 years..so this is all foreign to me.


I was out with friends this past weekend and met a man. After we wound spending most of the night dancing to the band, he asked me for my number. He phoned me the next day and asked me to dinner. It was fun, we got along well.


Every day since Monday he has sent me a text, saying hello or asking me how my day was, etc.

Hi there

I think you're overthinking this. He probably wants to text AND date you. If he didn't want to date you than he most likely would not be texting you. If you would like to go out with him again, why don't YOU be the bigger person and ask him out? Dating isn't as complicated as some people make it out to be.

I'm not a big fan of texting, so I will usually say something to the guy the next time we see each other in person and limit my responses (something like, "I really prefer phone calls, it takes me so long to type a text").


If a guy purports to ask me out by text, I'll respond something like, "give me a call pls".

I just think it's a lot easier for people who don't know each other well to text instead of trying to talk on the phone. The last time I was single was 10 yrs ago so texting really wasn't popular, but IMing was. My BF (who became my 2nd DH) and I IMed or emailed each other every night. I would think if he wasn't interested, he wouldn't bother to text you every day.

the world has become so computerised that things like dating are all going virtual. Personally i hate it! i havent dated much in the last 28 months.. Actually i havent met anyone i liked and wanted to be within that time.
