Wow he is really nasty! What a twat! I’m so glad you did not take it to heart, he is obviously bitter and resentful.Yesterday I got round to texting to say "goodbye" I did text a few more words .After I text I blocked straight away. I did not want to read a reply incase it was nasty. Especially, as he was so mean to me. He actually said to me all long the lines that I have a face that looks like a liar! Few others things that have gone out my head. I said to him what is this " an character assassination" He replied" No and I am happy with your replies" I'm so glad I did not take it to heart. I know who I am and I've had a lovely weekend.
Going for second date on Wednesday.I have put my dating app on pause for the moment.
coming out of lurker mode to echo this thought, I have recently started online dating for the first time in years and feel that it can be a minefield with worrying what I can and can’t say. Can I say I like them and would like to see them again or does that make it look like I’m being too full on?! But then in my mind i think well if he said that to me I’d be delighted. Ugh. I’m starting to wonder if it’s me making it more difficult for myselfWould texting myself make me look clingy? Is it really that bad if I enjoyed the date and would love to meet again? I am all for gender equality but dating is quite a minefield in this sense. It’s just that I prefer regular communication even if we’re in a no strings attached sort of situation, and it looks like most men are only capable of making booty calls.
Nothing wrong with a creep! I once matched and was messaging a guy and I knew his brother and my brother had the same name, which is not a very common name at all as my friend knew his family! My performance when he said it was Oscar worthy if I do say so myself!i'm giving myself the ick with how quickly attached i become ngl. only bloody met him once
i have to confess something really icky as well. i found his whole family on facebook (guy in question doesn't even have facebook) and started thinking about how well i'd fit into his family lmao and on the next date i have to pretend i know nothing about themwe do message throughout the day everyyy day though. still gives me no right to be a creep, ugh
He said you had a face of a liar? Wow! Well ridYesterday I got round to texting to say "goodbye" I did text a few more words .After I text I blocked straight away.

Were they the ones organising the first date? Maybe it's a cultural thing, but I expect the one being asked on the first date to organise the second date, then the first one organise the third date etc... So if they organised the first date, I'd send them a message for a second date. But if they can't go, the ball is in their court and need to reschedule the date. Imo it's just politeness, I do the same thing with friends.Would texting myself make me look clingy? Is it really that bad if I enjoyed the date and would love to meet again?

It absolutely won’t make you look clingy. It cuts through and gets an answer, rather than leaving you waiting for their text to drop. Like @Clickbait says, just keep it casual and direct. She articulates the technique well. Don’t explain yourself, don’t get all in your head. I remember with one of my exes, he asked me out and we agreed a day but I suggested the venue. I asked him on the second date, then he suggested a place. I suggested the third date and made all the plans. He then took much of the lead from there on in and we got into a natural balance. It honestly isn’t a bad thing to ask the man if he wants to meet again. Yes, it’s lovely when they ask you out, and either on the date or soon after, but some men need us to show our interest too. They need to get their confidence up. Men get nervous about rejection too. Just get an answer. It helps you weed the real ones out. If they say no or don’t really commit to anything, be glad you saved yourself from any more wasted time. Do not take it personally, just see it for what it is and keep moving forward. I also think texting first now and again is also needed to show interest. Let them take the lead at times, but find some way to take the slack too. It’s when you’re constantly initiating that you need to pull back. If they don’t engage, again that’s a sign to move on. Anyone genuinely interested will reach out. Again, do not take it personally, certainly not at the point of a date or two in. It’s just not a fit for them. Good luck!Amazing recap as always @MsCurly
I’ve been on 6 dates this month, and all 6 guys said they would like to see me again. Only 2 of them did actually text the following day, and naturally they are the ones I liked the least…Would texting myself make me look clingy? Is it really that bad if I enjoyed the date and would love to meet again? I am all for gender equality but dating is quite a minefield in this sense. It’s just that I prefer regular communication even if we’re in a no strings attached sort of situation, and it looks like most men are only capable of making booty calls.

I feel exactly the same lovely! Don’t be so hard on yourself, it’s not your faultI hate how easily attached I get, I keep thinking about how good my date was Friday and keep having to remind myself to take him off the pedestal because realistically I don't actually know him
