I met a guy online that I kind of like. We have had just our first starbucks meeting. He said he'd call but he only texted after 9 days. It was 9:30 on a Sat night. I was with a girlfriend and I told him so , Im usually very brief in text , I did say it was good to hear from him. He said I was beautiful when we met the other day and that we should go get something to eat. I said Id text soon.
So I did a few days later and we both said Friday (tomorrow) lunch would work. He didn't have a place in mind so I said he could text me later when he thought of one , or he could text when he could and we could figure it out together. That conversation took place Tues, it's Thur today 4am , and Im wondering should I text him Friday morning if I dont hear from him today? I don't mind , too , much , I like the man to take the lead , but Im not sure how interested he is because it took 9 days for him to contact me after the first meeting. Thoughts?

If he's interested, he'll make sure that date happens on Friday.

Honestly though, it doesn't sound like he's all that interested. I'd cross him off the list and move on.

Jeeze, just call him. There is way too much texting these days, imo. If you're brief with your texts he may think you're not that interested anymore. Maybe he doesn't like texting? Just call him and you should be able to tell from the vibe of the conversation if there's any interest anymore.

Good grief, text, call, don't text, don't call, only YOU know what is right and feels right for YOU TO DO. If you are comfortable with it do it, if not don't.

Maybe he thought you were lukewarm based on your texts. Only way to tell is to call or text to find out if he has place in mind. Or you could come up with a place and let him know what you've found.

That wasn't a conversation. You haven't actually talked to the guy since you met him. If the dude was actually interested in you, he'd be figuring out how to reach you long before now. Delete his number and move along.

What's wrong with a simple "still interested in lunch sometime" text or call?
