I agree with what most of you said, but you were taking the meaning my post a little differently than I meant.

I was just saying that email isn't a normal means of communication for me. It's kind of a prerequisite for online dating, I know, but I don't typically email people I know.

Relax and be cool.

After one date, it can take a little while for things to develop. After my first date with my now fiance, we didn't go on another date for 8 days. We emailed, IM'd, and talked on the phone over that period of time.

If she is initiating contact, I would say she is interested. If you do not like email/IM, how about suggesting you call her next time she initiates online contact.

i tried to call before we first met and she didn't answer. it was just to say hi and i'm on my way. when i saw her in person she said it was on silent and she doesn't really talk on the phone. also, she's in class all day and evening so she can't answer the phone a good chunk of the time.

anyway, i was a little uptight yesterday thinking about this. she emailed me really late last night, just a couple sentences saying how it was such a long day.

i haven't written her back. i guess the email small talk is boring. i feel like we've had the same convo a half dozen time, just saying we had a busy day, blah blah blah. not that i have a problem with her or anything like that. the in person convo is a lot more interesting.

If I were you, I'd ask her out for a specific activity for a specific date and time. See what she says. For example, "Would you like to go out to dinner with me on Sunday night?" or "Would you like to go to the movies with me Sunday afternoon?" See what she says. I think she's just penpalling you because she's waiting for you to actually ask her out again. If she says no to that and offers no other suggestion, then try to set it up for the following week. If she says no to that or strings you along about it, then I'd say give up.

^^^ well it's been half way resolved. Sent a stupid joke email (a real knee slapper I must say) and she got back right away and asked when she will see me. I said when I was busy and when I am not. She's was on her way to run an errand and said she's tell me her schedule soon.

Sounds like you're throwing the ball back into her court a lot.

yeah. i think she likes things planned for her.

i can do planning. she's not set in a routine (just moved and starting school) that it's tough for me to just say "how about thurs at 7?" as if she's got a 9-5 schedule. she's got a bunch of big moving type of errands to do and is probably waiting to see when she can coordinate getting some of that done. i was trying to give her flexibility to get that stuff done.

After some text message confusion, we met up for dinner and a movie last night and I left her place this afternoon after going out to breakfast and some TV.
