A female Canada age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I met a guy in a bar tonight. We talked for about half an hour but I had to leave. He gave me his phone number and told me to text him so we can meet somewhere and talk over drinks or something. I want to follow up on that. However, I will not be able to meet up with him for at least 5 days because I'm already booked every night. I feel like I should text him before that so he doesn't think I'm not interested. I don't know what to text.

So, what should I text?

So_Very_Confused agony auntI would say just go about your day and see if he contacts you and if he does and you are free then see him but don't sit around waiting for him.

I followed your advice and sent him a text on Friday asking him if he would like to go out for a drink or something on Sunday (so today). He answered right away saying he couldn't on Sunday because he had already planned to go to the beach with friends but that he'd love to meet some other time. I answered "no problem, let me know when you're free!". He added me on Facebook later that night. Since then, no contest. Do you think he'll contact me again or should I forget it?

I'm the author of the question.

I have a follow up question.

Isn't weird to text a guy I barely know "Hey! How are you? How was your day?"?

Wouldn't "nice meeting you yesterday! Looking forward to hear more about your trip to (country he just came back from and that I happen to leave for in a month), would next week work?"

This ones easy, just text to ask how hes doing, how was his day. Let him text back his reply. Then text and say how about meeting up for coffee next week? He will have to reply. He wont think anything of it, he wont think anything apart from your still interested enough to meet up.
