Post first date communication

[MountainSlide]

Went on a date with this girl the other day. I had a good time and pretty sure she did too. She texted me right after the date and thanked me with a smiley face. I responded a bit later and said that the pleasure was mine. Waited a couple days and gave her a call. Went to voicemail and I didn’t leave a message. About half an hour later she sent me a voice text and thanked me for the call saying that she was busy running around and asking to call me back later. I texted back a little later and told her sure and that I was a bit busy as well and try giving me a call when she’s free. She didn’t respond to the text and didn’t call me. To be clear, I was calling only to set up second date and I don’t use call or text for just chatting.

My question is simply for the next step. Here’s how I see it. I like this girl more than most other girls I’ve gone on dates with recently, she’s cute, funny, and energetic. My kinda girl. But. I think the proper thing to do is just continue dating other women and wait until she responds. Maybe if I don’t hear from her in a week then I’ll give her call. Does that sound like the proper way to go about the situation?? I’m feeling like this is a sh*t test to see if I’m needy or weak. Because I don’t think I really did anything to reduce the attraction.

Also. When she calls. Should I not answer it and make her wait? Or should I pick it up and go for second date.

Stop overthinking this, just wait a few days to a week and give her a call to set another date and in your spare time meet other women, it's that simple. Be positive, Be confident.

Okay. So she messaged me tonight and apologized for not getting back to me and gave me a list of reasons why she didn’t. Then said that she hopes that I’ve been having a wonderful weekend! What’s the strategy to maximize her interest in this situation. Ideas please.

"Good to hear from you. Let's get together soon...what's your availability?"

 

[MountainSlide]

Okay. She responds and says that her evenings are busy but mornings and afternoons are free. I’m not trying to have a day date with her though. How do I get around this??

 

[MountainSlide]

NvM. I just gave her a few options for evenings and asked her if she’d be able to make it work for any of them. If not I’m not wasting my time with morning dates or lunch dates. Just cya later next.

Would she still be busy in the evenings if Brad Pitt....Does she have an odd work schedule, hangs out with her boyfriend in the evening? Things to think about. NEXT
