He DID call but......................

Have been dating here n there to liven up my winter social life, just light hearted nothing heavy...getting back out there really for now

Saw one guy last weekend,went for a drink,had a good time, he's funny,sexy and we got on fine. After date he text to say thanks he had a great time I replied, me too. I missed a call off him during week but did get back to him,he contacted me again on Friday eve.......no mention of another date though!

Ime not broken hearted, just wondering if anyone else has had a man that DOES call but thats all? Cant see the point myself or maybe am missing something.

I'm beginning to think some of them need a lot more encouragement than others. Did you make it clear in some way that you would like him to ask you out again?

No but I did say I had enjoyed myself too, I wasnt too laid back about it...thought that was enough!

Cucumber-

What you said WAS enough. If he wants to go out again, he'll definitely ask you. Wait another week and if he doesn't ask you, just stop thinking about it!!

Maybe he has other things going on right now and can't ask but wants to keep things open for if/when he can ask you out.

I've had that happen before and it is very annoying but I think you did all you can do. You let him know you had fun as well and now the ball is in his court.

I dont get the point of going out and having fun and then following up after the fact but never setting up plans to do it again but, trust me, you arent the only one to experience this. I agree with Kat60, if another week goes by and nothing, just put it out of your mind.

Thank you!

I doubt he will ask now but hey ho, he's probably dating a few, making his 'short-list' up and leaving some on back burner.

We do it too I guess..

Hi Carola73,

What's a the characteristics of a self absorbed man? I want to know what to look out for.

I was in the same boat last year, but he kept on texting and texting but never asked me out on a 3rd date, I had a feeling that he had met someone else and I was right, told him not to contact me as I felt like he had kept me hanging on just in case the new girl didnt work out.

This has happened to me frequently in online dating, and it's such a strange phenomenon. Especially when you can tell the guy is into you, but he's just not following up with action. I agree with the others, if nothing concrete happens in about a week, just let it go.

Got a 3rd date with another one, he's rung/txt here n there since last date but I actually bumped into him during the day, out in town, he crossed road,kissed me on cheek and had a quick chat. Then followed it up with a call later and hey presto!!!

Ide rather have a man who knows what he wants than a total flake who doesn't.

Not surprised it happens Online really they're all like kids in a sweety shop taking a bite from each cherry ;o)
