Just forget it....
So I had this great first date with this guy. We ended up talking for hours and finally it got late enough that I needed to go home. He wanted me to text him when I got home so I did, and we texted for another half hour or so. The next day, I knew he had a lot to do so I texted him good morning (he replied back) and didn't text again until later that evening when I asked how his day was. He replied and we texted for a few minutes. Then I asked if he wanted to get together again this weekend. I never heard anything back. I'm not sure if I am being too impatient or what. I've just been meeting a lot of jerks lately and this guy seemed different. I am guessing most of the advice I get will be to just move on since it was just one date. But, any advice on how to possibly get a second date (he really sounded like he wanted to go out again, we had a ton in common, and I haven't met a guy I would be willing to give a second date to in a while). Should I wait a few days and text him? What should I say? Should I just forget it and move on? Thank you!

Personally, if it were me on the other end... i would prefer a PHONE CALL! I might often ignore texts for the time being only to forget later on.. but an actual call, i would likely pick up... But that's just me..

Try calling him. You can actually make good old fashioned voice calls on cell phones, believe it or not.

Just wait. You already texted him. Let him come to you. If he's really interested you should hear from him. If you don't hear back in a week, you can text a quick hello to see if he's still alive but then if he still doesn't ask you out again, then back off and explore other options.

I personally would NOT call unless you tow had been talking on the phone prior. So many guys (and people) nowadays hate talking on the phone and if its not a good time, it could be an awkward conversation.
With a text, it allows him to reply at his leisure instead of being put on the spot. |

This.
The ball is in his court. If he's interested, he will move mountains to go out with you again. If he's not, you can't do much to change his mind. |

Yes, you are too impatient. You texted him first twice. You asked him if he wanted to get together this weekend. The ball is in his court. Call him or text him again and you will seem like like you are...wait for it...too impatient.

I don't get this texting stuff. What the heck ever happened to personal interaction? Would you have sex with a machine? - most wouldn't though with this board there might be a few candidates.  Pick up the phone, just to say hello, be it with a friend, relative or s.o.! I'm thinking I should write a Dating for Dummies book on the art of communication. Jeez.......do you text your parents too?  |

Moral of the story is DON'T RELY ON TEXT MESSAGES. Many things could've happen. The message might've just not got through, he misplaced his phone.etc.
If you don't have the guts to call him then just forget about him. |

Not all men worship the ground women walk on. In this day and age, if a woman is interested she should go ahead and make the move. |
