@Dtothebook,
I'm thinking if you don't want to be over involved in a lot of back and forth conversation, you might want to amend that to something just a little more specific like "Round 2, 7pm my place Tuesday?"
The only negative I can see about that is that some people are completely oblivious to perhaps making an answering suggestion of "how about 8pm" or "not this time, try again though"
If he responds no, without giving an alternative, or at least "no, don't want to do this anymore" you're sitting there in the dark as to whether you should try again blah blah blah.
You're not a mind reader, neither is he.
I could see if he was into the meeting, him anwering "Sure", then there would have to be more back and forth setting up logistics, turning this into some sort of relationship. Gaa.
This friend of mine had this thing going with a guy for a long time. They had a predetermined place they would meet so that was never a question. The other guy was the one who'd always make contact, not because my friend was shy, it's just the way their thing worked. Too long to go into.
Other guy would text "you free today 3pm" My friend would respond "yes" or "how about XYZ time" or "no"
It worked well for a few years. Then my friend moved. End of story.
If next time you see this guy, you could talk openly about preferred communications, and you could have a good thing.
