Find a Conversation

Well I had a great 2nd date last night! He picked me up and we went to dinner. Afterwards, we stopped and had a drink and shot a game of pool, and then went to see a movie. I think we both had a great time, we were so relaxed and comfortable around eachother, and the conversation was never dull.
When he took me home, we kissed for a while (awesome!), and then he walked me to the door. He gave me another kiss, but then all he said was, "I'll see you later."
So I was a little disappointed he didn't ask me out again right away, or at least say he'd call me. At dinner he had asked what I was doing this weekend, and he mentioned he wanted to go fishing. But he didn't invite me along or anything.
So I'm just wondering if that's a bad sign that all he said was "I'll see you later." ??

It isn't a sign. Don't read anything into it. Now, if he doesn't call, THAT's a sign. Well, actually it's not even a "sign" it just shows he isn't as interested as he seemed.
Rule 1 of dating: Don't take it personally!!! Relax and just see what happens.
Rule 2 of dating: Do NOT invest in a guy until after at least 3-5 dates with a couple of phone calls in between. Give yourself time to get to know him and judge his character. There just isn't enough sample behavior after two dates to know. Heck sometimes there isn't after dating for two months.
Relax. Either he'll or he wont. If he doens't it's no reflection on you it's just part of the idiosynchratic nature of dating. It kinds sucks sometimes btut hat's just the way it is.
Don't worry. On my second date with my boyfriend (this was over a year ago now), we had a wonderful date just like you describe. then when it came time to leave, he didn't even give me a hug or a kiss goodbye or anything. just said "well...uh, bye" and left!
At the time I totally read into it. I decided I must have done something wrong in the 15 minutes it took us to walk from the park where we'd been canoodling to the subway stop where we parted ways. I totally wrote him off. When he called two days later for another date, I was shocked.
So, many weeks later I asked him what was up with that. He didn't even remember it, but he did say that he finds goodbyes really awkward when he doesn't know a person well. He thought it was hilarious that I read so much into it!
I'm not saying your guy is the same way, but you just never know until he calls (or doesn't call).
I hope it works out!
