If she's the kind of person who believes this tripe, I'd seriously reconsider if she was someone that I wanted to date.
Communicate your feelings.
Don't play by these stupid kinds of rules.
I just gave him guidelines he doesn't have to follow them to a tee.
I'm just giving him advice from someone who has dated a lot.
I agree communicate your feelings and say you feel that you really enjoy time spent together.
Assuming a normal M-F work schedule, if the first meeting was a casual coffee or lunch on a weekday, and it was early in the week, I'd hope the second meeting would be over the weekend, if it went well. If later in the week, things might have to wait for the following weekend, as one or both might already have plans for Friday and Saturday nights.
I met my SO for coffee on a Wednesday, and on Thursday or Friday, he asked me out to an event Saturday morning. That went well, and Monday was a holiday, so we saw each other Monday as well. I did have other dates that weekend with people I had already been out with a time or two, or had been chatting with a while. It served him well to make his interest clear.

Yeah, pretty much.
IOW, probably the soonest reasonable time, if you're really interested. Assuming a typical (more or less) work schedule, a date for the following weekend or a quickie coffee during the week sound reasonable.
Because they are completely useless. They have zero meaning.
If he'd said, on the date (well before 2 days later) that he was having a great time and wanted to get together on the weekend, would that have come off as desperate?

Actually, I agree with Raena.
Give it a day or so, and then call her.
So many times, you find out that ONE person thought the date was mutually WONDERFUL, and OMG! I can see her having my babies! and I better call her right now, before anyone else gets a chance and lock this **** up tight!"
And the female is like "Whoa...we just met. It was a nice date, and I WAS looking forward to another date, until he started trying to monopolize all my free time".
So...give it a day. Let's assume she has a life, has stuff going on, but let's also assume she'll look FORWARD to hearing from you...as opposed to "Hmmm...he seems needy."

Mod cut: personal attack / language
How does calling on day+1 monopolize all of your free time any more than calling on day+2?
LOL. My husband asked me out on date two WHILE ON date one.
