Iam a gay male. I met someone from Facebook. This past Sunday we met at a coffee house so we can get to know each other. I did make it perfectly clear that I was interested in being friends first and to see where things would go after that. We exchanged phone numbers and I told him that I hope to talk to him again real soon.

I wasn't quite sure what to do next (as far as who should call who and when.) Anyway, I read that since I met him online, that I should email him back to let him know I had a good time and was interested in seeing him again, within a day or two. So I sent him an email doing so through Facebook yesterday.

Did I do the right thing even though we exchanged phone numbers? Did I follow the proper ettiquette through FB, since this was how wemet? And also does that rule occur even with someone you are interested in being friends with first (or does that not matter either way?)

Thank you much.

I think you did the right thing. If you felt more comfortable giving him a friendly email rather than a phone call, then there's nothing wrong with doing so. I don't think there's a rule for this (could be wrong). People are so busy these days so an email is pretty convenient.
Good luck!

You were nice and polite and sent a thank you note. I think that's pretty cool.

A slight update. I posted something on my FB page about a new CD coming out. He did reply to it and said he hear it was pretty good. So I guess things are good. I guess I'll just see if he replies to the email.

Good lord how old are you shug?
I never play the call game... I call or text the next day if I like the guy. Sometimes to the same night if things really went well. Haven't had a problem with my method. If a guy doesn't like you the when you call isn't going to really matter.

It's never wrong to send a "Nice to have seen you note." If anything it creates a sense that you are a person who respects others.
