Ooh. Plans for a second?

My Friday night date was so good. Iโ€™ve mentioned before that we dated before and in between the lockdowns but we were as close as ever. Sex was on fire too ๐Ÿ”ฅ haha.
Yeah ๐Ÿ˜„

Haha get it girl! Glad it's going well for you ๐Ÿ˜‰

Went on a date yesterday with a guy who seemed so funny and upbeat over text. He was a really nice guy in real life but actually quite dull and mundane sadly โ˜น no spark there!

I'm not finding any success on Hinge. 0 matches and whoever has liked me I'm just like :/ am I just too fussy?

I'm always so worried that this is how I come across on a first date ๐Ÿ™ˆ when I'm texting I've a bit of time to think up a witty response but on a first date the nerves get to me and either I clam up or witter on about ๐Ÿ’ฉ. I think that's why I'd usually give men the benefit of the doubt and go on a second date if the opportunity came up, just in case they haven't shown their best selves either on the first date ๐Ÿ˜„

Aww yeah no I completely agree! First dates are scary and I think if someone was quiet or shy then Iโ€™d definitely give them the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately I think this wasnโ€™t the case with this guy - he barely cracked a smile ๐Ÿ˜–

Ah I hear ya. You get a gut feeling too which you have to listen to. And not smiling on a date is a big red flag.

Never. Donโ€™t ever settle. Thinking youโ€™re too fussy is showing too little self worth. I understand your thoughts but youโ€™ll end up with the two person if you think youโ€™re too fussy and ultimately be unhappy

My adventures continue.... I have had a date on Friday night with a lovely lovely guy. Seeing him just confirmed what I thought of him. Conversation was flowing, he was funny etc. I asked him what he wanted and he said a girlfriend. He told me he liked me and that I was just as he expected. We made vague plan for the "future" for him to take me for a walk down the canals around his area... He went back to mine, he stayed. He was very affectionate (not talking sexually :) during the night and in the morning,. Then left around 10am.

We chatted a bit on Saturday then he was off for a few drinks with his mates. I texted him the next morning and he said he was really hungover as the night got a bit out of control. I was out with my friends yesterday so didn't text him much. I asked him if he would be up to meet again during the week and he said "yes just need to recover today ๐Ÿ˜ต" then he sent me a couple of selfies to show me the state of him (that wasn't a pretty sight haha).
Haven't heard from him since.

I hope I am not overthinking it. He wasn't the best with texts throughout the day before the first date but I tend to always panic and be paranoid after the first date... I also think that I want to be reassured a lot as I have been messed around a lot and I am losing all confidence I may have had before :(

I'd be exactly the same don't worry ๐Ÿ˜Š
I know most people here are againt texting first or double texting but honestly I would drop him a bright and breezy message like "hey! Hope you've managed to recover haha" and then if he doesn't reply or seems a bit off then I guess you'll know. I genuinely think sometimes we don't want to send the first text, they don't want to send the first text and it gets us nowhere ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yes this is so true!! It feels like there are just so many rules to dating now. Why don't people follow their heart?
I have sent him the last text yesterday saying I just got home and was bloody freezing (yeah you bet after spending 8 hours outside a pub). He hasn't read it but has been online since. So I don't really want to insist... :unsure:

I agree with this because otherwise itโ€™ll just f with your head until he replies and if heโ€™s keen I donโ€™t think heโ€™ll care if you check in.

Just came across a guy on Bumble advertising his Twitter... itโ€™s full of complaints to companies ๐Ÿ™ˆ

he kept telling me on the night of the date and the next day how much of a great time he had. So would be a bit contradictory if he was going AWOL now.BUT nothing really surprises me now coming from men ๐Ÿ˜‚

I think some guys get too far ahead in their own heads and freak themselves out, then run away as a result ๐Ÿ™„
