He hasn't initiated a second date, even when I texted him. What's the next step?

A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I went on a date last Wednesday, that I thought went pretty well. We had lots to talk about, kept each other’s interest, he told me he thought I was ‘gorgeous,’ and when it came time to leave the bar, he asked me if I wanted to do anything else. After we both went home, I thought for sure we’d be going on a second date, but… I haven’t heard a word from him, and it’s been nearly a week. I thought I’d at least get a text saying something like “had a good time, hope we can do it again.’ Then I figured maybe he was just waiting for some kind of sign from me, so last night I texted him something simple like “How was your weekend?” and he texted me back immediately, but didn’t say anything to indicate he wanted to see me again. I’ve been on plenty of dates, and I’m not totally oblivious as to not know when someone just isn’t interested. So I’m really confused, cause I felt like this particular date went really well… But to not hear anything for a week seems really unusual to me. Do certain guys really wait that long? Or should I just forget about it?

Well, he never did get back to me. I guess the moral of the story is if you have to wonder if a guy is interested, he's probably not.

I'm having the same problem myself. I went out with someone who e-mailed me a few days after we went out, then again a week later, and then again a week later. I have answered all his e-mails, but he just isn't asking me out again. All his e-mails have contained questions, so it seems to me that he is trying to continue some sort of conversation, but it takes him a week to get back to me. Is he interested or not? I don't know the answer to this!

shandygirl agony auntIf a guy is interested, he will contact you. You can text him to say, "Call me" if he doesn't respond, then forget it. Don't put yourself in the position of the pursuer. A guy has to Pursue You, to appreciate you. Just go on with your life if you don't hear from him in another week. I know this may sound harsh, but that is my advise. Good luck hon.
