    I could....dare I though?
    Also, if he's keen, surely he'll text me. And he seems like the sort of guy who is a bit old-fashioned in a nice way and would like to do the chasing!
    Mind you, my housemate told me last night that he had 3 brilliant dates with 3 lovely women who he really, really liked. He never called them for a second date because he assumed they were out of his league and he wouldn't stand a chance.
    I think it's worth being patient for a day or two, but I need to just get a grip on myself and pull myself together and get on with what I should be doing - trying to find a job or get some clients drummed up for my ailing business!

    i agree with TGT, just text him to say thanks for a wonderful time, blah blah blah, then the ball is in his court
    if he is shy, perhaps he is waiting to see if you contact him first? and he is feeling like you are
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

    Thanks Becky! But it's how to cope with the agony of waiting!
    I think it's my personality - I am not good at waiting. And I always worry about things that might not happen e.g. I am already convincing myself that he won't call and then feeling all upset and pathetic because it's frustrating meeting someone nice and them not feeling the same! I have an awful feeling that I'll waste today and get nothing done because of this!

    Jenny bite the bullet and txt him...Why put yourself through the agony....It is difficult at the end of the first date to ask for the 2nd date ...its the fear of rejection ...Go on txt him tell him you enjoyed the date and would he fancy meeting up again.....the worse that can happen is he says no but at least you will know

    I totally agree with the rest , just text him, "lovely time, fancy doing it again?" short and sweet.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    I also don’t get why people are on dating sites if they are not looking to date. also means that there are men wasting their time chatting to those who don’t want to date when they could be talking to me!!!!!

    I also don’t get those who are arrogant enough to argue with you if you tell them they are not your type for whatever reason! I had a message from a guy miles away from me (and was also too short for my liking but I didn’t tell him that) – I replied saying thanks but Im looking for someone more local.
    He then started going on that I wouldn’t find anyone with an attitude like that and I wouldn’t get anyone better than him and he feels sorry for me as if Im only looking for someone in the next road then I wont find anyone!
    I promptly messages back that it was probably his arrogance and self-love that was the reason he was still single. I then blocked him so he couldn’t send a !!!!py reply back!!!

    I would rather be on my own than be with someone until someone better came along!

    i know what you mean, i mailed back that i hope he finds the one he is looking for but i didnt think it was me, and he has constantly mailed back, why whats wrong with me,??
    well the fact you have already started planning our wedding kids, even though on my profile it clearly states no more kids for me, getting too full on.

    now im in a dilema, i want to mail a guy that is really wow, but i am having a brain fart and dont know what to put, i thought i would not think and just let my fingers talk but it came out gibberish lol

    how about that you really like his profile and would like to get to know more about him?!

    If the guy is interested any sort of message will probably get a response.

    Remember guys in general get far far fewer messages than you ladies so they often don't have the same filtering/criteria to responding that you would do.
