Ok - had a date this week (not from the internet i might add)

Meal out, bit nervous, but got chatty, kept smiling and was just myself. Not too pushy, just honest, jokey & managed to steal a kiss before dropping her home. Got a text after saying i was really nice, however frequency of txts has dropped slightly since the date..

just busy you think- or perhaps one that'll just fizzle out?..

FINGERS ON BUZZERS PLEASE

Depends on what you mean by frequency of txts? More than one every other day and I would feel stalked.......but then some people worry there's a problem if they get less than 20 a day.
Suddenly much fewer? Ignoring yours? Are you in overdrive and maxed out?
Maybe she's playing it a bit cool?
I think you might find the answers if or when you meet again?

Not much help am I? Sorry. Smile

lol. perhaps i'm just eager?
she has been texting back but not til hours after & not conversation-like as before, more statements about what she's doing..

i don't expect 20 a day and i know i don't often reply to texts until hours after...

but i really don't wanna a)miss out on a potential 'keeper'! or b)bombard her with txts making her think i'm a nutcase!

*sighs*

That's the trick isnt it, ...finding the balance of messages to send. if you sent too many your a stalker and if you dont send enough then your not interested ....i tend to just reply once to any i get now.

Maybe you should just ask her outright if she wants to see you again?

i have done. . .she said yes.
it's just finding time in our busy lives to fit it in... and what to do for the 2nd date?... surely not another meal!

a gig perhaps?

in that case i dont think you have much to worry about, ...find out what she likes to do and do that

just my opinion but i say for the 2nd date, do something more fun and practical, an activity. That could be anything that the two of you like, visit a theme park or do something outdoors, thats what i would suggest, i prefer outdoor dates if i am honest, there is less formality and more chance to actually be yourself and be uninhibited.

I wouldn't really do anything fancy personally, in fear of jumping too fast too soon. A meal's fine, but even a day shopping or just having a chat somewhere, perhaps even the old-fabled movie. The rest I'd leave till later, when things were more certain.

Scottie stole my thunder, I reckon that's spot on!
I wouldn't ask her what she wanted to do and do that. Surprise her with something a little more fun!
Bowling is always a good one. Pool maybe? Maybe do something creative like a drumming workshop if you reckon that she'd be into that!
Then there's always the slightly surreal IKEA date, giving you the opportunity to horse around and role play (believe me, it works!)
I don't reckon the gig would work. Cinema's and gigs involve a lot of ignoring your date with your attention elsewhere. Not much good!

Oh yeah, one more thing! If you want to get her to commit to a time, don't ask her when she's free. That'd be having you fitting into her social calendar. Flip it round. Pick a night next week and just say let's do [insert activity] on Wednesday night. That makes it sound like you've got a busy life yourself too, but you can fit her in to your own schedule.... confidence!

also if your pants end up on her bedroom floor is a good indication

lol.
already canned it now. the date went well itself, but i suggested a 2nd date a few days after and just got a 'kinda busy' response.

ah well. back to the drawing board. hehe
