Ditto. Honestly Ginger... I stand by what I said earlier. If he wasn’t interested, he probably would have ghosted you or said something like...”It was nice meeting you” with a hug at the end and no follow up text at all after your first date. I think he is playing it cool (cause his friends have probably told him that’s the best way to get someone interested... eager = desperate. Yes...it’s a bit of game playing but the intention is to not scare you off. We have all had some OLD experiences that haven’t gone well. Maybe his was that he showed someone a lot of attention and they blew him off. How many times on here have we told people to not chase and to look busy and like you don’t even notice they aren’t contacting you.
He’s still texting you and telling you he hopes you have a great day... he is interested. So I think you have a couple choices... 1. You wait him out and go about your life and decide if you want to go out with him when he finally asks you. 2. You text him that you had a great time and it would be great to get together again. Tell him you are free on this day and time if he wants to do something and leave the ball in his court...no pun intended...lol.
Anyway...IMO...if you had a great time on your first date and there was an attraction, you shouldn’t just dismiss him because he’s not texting you a lot or asking you out in the time frame you deem is appropriate. You want him to be direct. Maybe he wants you to be direct as well. And if you are and he doesn’t come through than so be it. On to the next one.
