Went on a first date with a guy Sun night, he texted that he had a great time and I said likewise. We have been texting daily so far, but he hasn’t asked me on a second date yet. I don’t want to initiate anything this early because from experience, this means that the guy is hesitating/not that interested. Advice?

I went on a first date that ended really well. Even after the date we texted all night. But after he said goodnight, he didn’t text at all the next day. The following day, I was sooo annoyed that he hadn’t texted me again even though he said he has a great time. I literally chose a day I was free in my calendar and told him that he was going to see me again. The rest is history, we’ve been dating for two years lol. Just shoot him a text and initiate a second date. If he’s weird about it, on to the next one!

you could come up with something to do next week if he still hasn’t initiated and don’t have to frame it as a date; like “i saw that there’s a cool art/museum/whatever exhibit this weekend, would you want to go?” and y’all can get dinner or something afterward

from my experience, if he asked you on the first date then it’s expected that you initiate the next in order to demonstrate that *you* are still interested. I think this varies by age, culture, etc though

Be playful about it and say "when are you going to ask me on a second date?" Puts the ball firmly in his court. And if you still get nothing, then at least you have your answer and you can move on.

Disagree. He can come back and say why didn’t you ask me.
Id rather say OP plz ignore the power play and if you are genuinely interested in the guy then casually ask out - so any good upcoming plans? I was thinking of going to XYZ place.. would you like to join? It’s simple and not big of a deal!
But if you are not interested in him, then it’s clear and you shouldn’t be bothered by him not asking!

I feel like people over think this shii way to much these days lol. If you think he isn’t asking you out because he isn’t interested then why are you still texting him 💀💀💀 if you like him, ask him out for drinks. If he says no or doesn’t respond than that’s great news, now you don’t have to waste your time on this person who just wanted a texting buddy. If he says yes- great news again. You literally have nothing to lose except your own time, if you keep wasting it playing mind games

I dated a guy for the first time in 2018 and after a week, he hasn’t asked me on a second date. I followed up and it turned out he’s moving to suburb and he thought it’s a little far to continue dating. I challenged him and said it’s actually not that far and was open to continue dating if he’s interested. We continued dating and that guy is now my husband. We have a beautiful daughter together.

My point is being a go getter. A woman who knows what she wants and initiates is also very attractive

I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?
