How soon after a first date do most people make contact? Does texting someone the same night when you get home seem too clingy or desperate?I’ve always adhered to the one day rule, but felt like tonight went well and was wanting to text tonight or at least tomorrow morning…

I personally love the night of the date getting that “I had an amazing time tonight and can’t wait to see you again” text. We’re adults, let’s not play games. If you had a good time and want to talk to me, then text me.

This may surprise you but when a guy texts me right after a date letting me know he had a good time, it makes me more interested in him.

I refuse to play games and will stop pursuing a guy if he’s playing hard to get or isn’t expressing interest.

^Exactly… I have another date this weekend with someone else… talking to 4 guys right now. And I like your 5 date rule. The thing about the guy last night is that he did actually look like his Hinge pics, and really had good conversation. Because of past mistakes I am really trying to take things slow this time around and not rush it.. looking for very long term right now.

Kinda bummed. I’ve been single for 6 years (I’m 31 now). I live in ptown and talk to guys in Boston on tinder. Was talking to a guy for about a week who is my type. I asked if he wanted to FaceTime tonight and he said sure but caveated that he isn’t into long distance (ptown to Boston) and that we would most likely stick to chatting. Idk what’s wrong with me. Everyone tells me I’m a catch but guys I’m attracted to are never into me 😭 just needed to vent

When I expressed how I felt she keeps saying there's nothing going on. I feel that when start to get emotionally close to some other guy than SO then it's not a good sign in relationship. Am I overthinking? contd.

Need advice.

I really want to take this forward but am out of ideas on how to make a date happen.
