The dating game - back to the start

[Rainbow85]

hi guys -

so i went on my first date last Friday, only for a drink but had a great time. He messaged me that night and next day to say have fun on the hen day/night i was going on. I texted him on the Sunday to say I had a good time and even though he was replying I got the vibe he was busy (i think he was at uni studying) so I let him go - he said he would speak to me later - which he did, but it was late. We texted for about an hour and then went to sleep. He said, again he would speak to me later but I haven't heard from him. Even though it's only been two days and I shouldn't worry too much I am wondering whether in the dating game should I just wait and see if he contacts me? Last time we spoke he suggested another date but didn't arrange anything. I am thinking because he said 'speak to you tomorrow or text you tomorrow' that i should wait for him to do that.

new to dating game - please help.

In the past ive been assertive and forward but I want a man who is that so im 'waiting' so to speak - is this the right thing

Guy here.

Yes you need to contact him after 2 days of no contact. He might have gotten busy, forgotten to call you, or lost your number. It happens. Don't just wait around, take action. Contacting him after 2 days is not "clingy", it's good communication. If he can't handle the pressure he should get out of the kitchen.

Sending more than 5 texts per day would probably be considered clingy by most people, with the exception of confirming impending plans that evening. If you send 5 texts in a day to confirm evening plans and he didn't reply, either his phone is dead, there is a power outage where he is (no cell tower service), or he is dead.

Agreed with the above post. I always find it fascinating reading about the craziness that goes on in women's minds. If you feel like you want to call him, CALL HIM. Stop playing the waiting game.

2 days is enough. Call him. Be playful and flirty about it, like "How about that date you mentioned?" If a guy really likes you, he WILL show it. If a guy wants to see you, he will make time to see you.
