Summary of my situation- Met a guy OLD, he messaged me first and we messaged on and off for about 2 weeks, then we moved to texting and texted for a few days. He asked me out, we went on a date. I feel that I was suuuuper awkward, both because it was my first OLD experience so I felt awkward, plus I'm just shy in general and it takes me awhile to open up. I'm bummed that I feel like I messed it up, because he was so nice and cute and I really wish I could see him again. The night of the date, afterwards we exchanged a few texts (he asked if I got home okay, I thanked him, we exchanged a few links to songs that we had talked about). The next day, nothing. The following day, I figured I would make an attempt, so I texted him with a random question relevant to the day/something we had talked about. He replied, and then a few minutes later he sent a second text saying that one of the songs that I sent him had been stuck in his head, I replied to that, and then nothing the rest of that day, or yesterday. So unfortunately, I think that I was too awkward and he is fading me out. One of my friends said that it didn't seem so bad, and he has said more than necessary, but I think that he is just being nice. It is a big change from doing a lot of texting before the date. So yeah, my question...is it weird if I make another attempt, and if so what kind and when, or should I just move on?

Will you just pick up the phone and talk to him. Sheesh!
Okay, I'm really thinking about it (asking him out), but I'm just nervous, I hate rejection!
People with OLD experience, give me your honest thoughts...if texting slows waaay down after the date, does that signify loss of interest, or is it normal to die down once you have met the person? I mean, before meeting our text convos were get to know you type things, and now we have met...but still, I feel like it is probably loss of interest.

How can you really have a meaningful conversation by texting? How can you really get to know someone by reading some texts? No wonder people are so socially awkward nowadays and have all these dating issues. People don't know who to interact with each other anymore it seems.

I know nothing about texting because I don't do it. I do know that many guys are not really into talking on the phone that much. I would assume they would feel the same way about texting. I don't think less texting means he does not like you, a better way to find out if he likes you is to see if he asks you out again.
he's just being respectful, he probly likes you a lot but doesn't want to come on too strong to risk pushing you away
take the initiative!!!! ask him out
