Great date...now what?
| Mon, 02-23-2004 - 3:58am |
Hi iVillagers. Well, surprise surprise ...I had a jolly good time on a first date last night with a really interesting guy. We went for a drink at a pub, then to the cinema to watch 'Something's Gotta Give' and then back to the pub for another drink and some good conversation about us & our interests. I really felt like sending him a 'thankyou for the fantastic time' text message last night but didn't want to appear over-eager about it. We both said that we'd enjoyed the evening but no talk of meeting up again. But I'd really love to do it again.We've both got a very busy work schedule & said that's it's gonna be a very hectic week ahead. Should I call/text/e-mail him saying how much I enjoyed it or do I let him get in touch first? Should I do it right away or leave some days pass? Thanks in advance.

Did you not thank him while you were ON the date???
Personally, if I receive a fun message or a thank you message I do not consider that to be over-eager. If I receive a message requesting more time together (especially after the first few dates) then that can be over-eager. It all depends on the tone and choice of words.
I'm sure if he is interested in a 2nd date he will contact her. If they get to 5 or 6 dates then she needs to initiate some contact as an expression of her interest in him.
