I agree with kml….I don't think he was playing a game either. He may just be rusty on the whole dating thing and just didn't think about it. But, you are SO right about treating yourself with the worth you expect others to see. You MUST know and act like you are worth it or you'll fall back into old patterns of being too available and too eager. I said earlier, it would be one thing for him to ask you out day of if y'all had actually been dating for awhile and he just spontaneously asked and you spontaneously agreed, but this is date #2, not date #22. Maybe he's just out of practice and he'll get better. I'm not saying it is your place to teach him or help him or nurture him or whatever other word someone might use, but just realize that some people just do not have "game" so to speak ( and I don't mean in the sense of playing games, but in the sense of being smooth and confident and in control).
