Had a date this weekend and guy texted after the date saying he had a good time and we should do it again sometime but hasn’t texted me since?? Was he just saying it to be polite or am I being impatient

Don’t over think it. If he wants to reach out, he will. If he doesn’t reach out, it doesn’t mean he was lying. Set other dates with new people and let whatever happens happens.

Did you respond?

To be honest if I just got a “yeah we should!” with no follow-up I might take it as a polite blow-off, like the classic “we should definitely grab coffee sometime” not paired with suggesting a date to do so.

Do not text him. I’m repeating do not chase a man. Let him chase you. He’s not the only one out there. In fact, when he texts you and offers to meet on a specific day, just say that you have plans on that day. Let him chase you, it’s in men’s nature to chase women. Once you are reachable and always free, you’re no longer interesting. If he wants you and likes you, he will find you.

Hi ladies! An old chestnut but would still love to hear your advice: i am fairly certain a key senior stakeholder is being difficult because he perceives me as a senior non white woman trying to boss him around.

TIA!

I’m dating someone new and it is going very well. He is kind, not high strung, with great values and shares my sense of humor. It is so easy and natural to spend multiple days with him.
Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp
