A little confused about a recent date I had with a man that I had gone out with one time when I was 19 so we were not total strangers. We had a great date ... he seemed as engaged and as interested as I was. We closed the restaurant down that evening and when he took me home, he walked me to the door and came inside for about 15 minutes. Nothing sexually happened. I sent him a message thanking him for dinner and a great evening and he responded he also had a great time. But then I did not hear from him until 5 days later when he "liked" a picture I had posted on my social network. I just don't understand and would like some opinions......
@Civicgirl,
I'm not sure what exactly you're asking. Everything seems fairly positive and routine.
I agree with Ragman. To me, you seem to think he was horribly late in showing interest.
@Civicgirl,
Have you invited him out for another date?
This guy sounds like what must be a pretty rare creature these days... a gentleman. I guess a lot of younger people won't know how to deal with them.
@ehBeth,
I asked him out first so I'm thinking if he is interested he would ask for a second date!
@Civicgirl,
I'm just wondering if he has any interest. He was a perfect gentleman and being 51, I truly appreciate that. But the date was a week and a half ago and the only contact since then was a message exchange that I initiated and a couple "likes". I guess I'm wondering if he could be taking it slow or just not interested. It just seemed like we both had a great time on the date.
@Civicgirl,
At the end of the first date, did either of you say you'd like to see the other again?
@ehBeth,
No.... we didn't. I was thinking at the time that we both had such a great time that there wasn't any question about it.
@Civicgirl,
there's no down-side to stating it and asking --- out in the open 'because that way you know where things really stand.
Speak up!
Ask him out again (It's OK, it's 2015)
If he is busy or declines, then you know that date wasn't as "great" as it was for you.
