Ok so I went out on date Sun night. He text me the very next morning saying "Last night was nice!" But that's all I've heard from him since. He hasn't asked me to go out on a second date or anything.
What should I think of this?

I personally would just text back 'I had a lovely time too'. If you don't hear anything, then you actually should not think anything about it at all. There are one million reasons why he chooses not to follow it up. Probably nothing to do with you. You will never know and however uncomfortable it may be, it is actually OK.

LOL little darlin! GOOD POINT! LOL
Well our 2nd (not first) date was 9/13 and then he text the very next day saying "last night was nice!" like I mentioned.... and to my total surprise..yesterday (the 23rd) just as I was about to delete his phone number from my cell...HE TEXT ME! a full 9 days after his frist message after the date. I was shocked when I got the text. All my friends were saying "he was just being polite and you'll never hear from him again".

I was even MORE surprised to see what he wrote...After a few how are you's..he said "What happened? Why didn't you call me?" WHATTT ?!! LOL So I replied that I thought since he hadn't contacted me that he was either busy or didn't want to and he basically said he was waiting for me to contact him!
That goes against everything I was reading in this book and others.
I do believe the man should do the pursuing and I love the book. I guess there are some exceptions to the "rule".
MENNNNNNN..who understands them?!! LOL Anyway, he said we need to hang out some more and get to know each other, but we haven't made plans as of yet. We shall see.

Just thought I would share this interesting little experience and I hope I haven't made it even more difficult to figure them out for ay of you! LOL

Thanks for your comments and advice.."Preciate It"

:-)

I went on a first date very recently. We got along really well and he said at least three times that hopefully we will see each other again (I probably did not respond terribly enthusiastically). I have not heard from him since :). He may still emerge, but I am certainly not counting on that. You win some and you lose some, it is just the way it is.

wise, are you interested in him? If so, the fact that you didn't give him much to go on might leave him thinking you are not interested and in that case I would email or call to say hi and that you had a nice time. Otherwise , well...you know the rules. But in all fairness, how is the man suppose to know and why would he want to set himself up for rejection by calling you? See my point? :)
