Fingers Crossed!

by Confuddled @ 2008-03-22 - 05:16:58

Last night I went out on my 2nd date from the internet dating site. This time, I had a good evening. The company was good, he hadn't lied about his height (!!) and he was better looking than his picture suggested.

In some ways it was a bit strange. At no point did the fact that we had met via the site come up in conversation and at the end of the evening, there was a slight awkwardness - 2 strangers saying goodbye, not knowing what happens next. I had a good evening, I hope he did too. I would like to see him again but I really have no idea whether it is mutual. Don't know whether to be bold and email him to say that I would like to see him again or whether to leave him to contact me. This is why I hate internet dating!!!! I've texted him to thank him for the meal (he paid) and the company. Although he has replied saying he had a good evening, I obviously don't know him well enough to figure out whether he means it or not. I really am getting too old for this!!! Angst when you're younger is so much easier to deal with than as an adult!!!

Dare I offer some advice? If you enjoyed your evening and would like to see the guy again give him 24 hours and see if he contacts you, but if you haven't heard by the end of the day... you make the move and contact him.

You may not want to appear too eager, but it would be a shame to miss an opportunity if he's feeling a little timid.

Crossing my fingers for you. ;)

Thank you for the advice - which I will heed.

(I'm definately getting too old for this!!!)

No, I can't that. You are most certainly NOT too old. :no:

Everything crossed for you here.

He replied to your text straight away which is a good sign I think, although yes he could just be being polite.

Whenever I'm uncertain, I have a tendancy to over analyse. Need to take deep breath and just go with the flow....

don't hesitate - follow your instincts.
there's nothing wrong with you making the first move and you'll only regret it if you don't.

Ta for that. I think Usky wrote what my instincts are really telling me. I'll see what happens today & tomorrow, then take it from there.

you've already taken the first and bravest steps by meeting him in person...there's no need to go overboard with him but there's nothing wrong in letting him know you'd be interested in seeing him again.
good luck! x

Must admit, sitting in my car, waiting for him to arrive, I did wonder what the heck I was doing! So, guess you're right, I have already taken the first and bravest step.

:yes: whatever happens, it was a lovely evening. The food was good and the conversation seemed to flow smoothly.

You have all my sympathy. Dating when you're older is a lot harder.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that this works out for you.

Thanks! You'd think when we hit our 40's life would get a bit more easier :))

You're brave, I just can't summon the courage for internet dating :-(

Not sure brave is the right word. I guess for me it's the realisation that over the last 5 years I'm in danger of turning myself into a lonely, grumpy, hermit!!
