LH19: Thanks for your comment. Yes, you are single until you are not.
Our 1st date was mid-day coffee, and I wasn’t going directly home (had other things to do afterwards & pick my kid up) so I didn’t see the need to tell him when I made it home. I didn’t know when I was getting home either, other than before dark. I do see your point though, if it had been under different circumstances.
When I did get home, I hummed and hawed about texting him right away, and didn’t want to seem too eager. Was planning on messaging him the day after the date and he reached out first.
Not sure I 100% agree with who should plan what. Sharing the workload works for me. Because I have D4, and have to figure out who’s going to watch her (I have no family & XH is MLC/WAS; location unknown) I like calling the shots on what works for me, and willing to be flexible from there. *Luckily I have a village of friends that are ready and willing to help me out*. Bach2 has no kids, but has a young dog. Like I said, flexible to his needs too.

kml: Thanks for your comment. Yes, agreed, daytime coffee does not require an “I’m home safe text”. Unless it’s a REALLY strong coffee or you drank too many with no restroom in sight,…..kidding…

I’m glad I took a chance and waited for him to contact me, and he did. If not I would of text him the day after the date, said I enjoyed myself and left it at that, to see what he thought… “ball in his court”. After all, he did end the date with, “If you ever want to do this again….” I think a guy should chase a woman a little.

Georgiabelle: Thanks for your comment. I did have fun! I left with such a BIG smile on my face that it hurt. And of course, I told myself… zero expectations… it’s just coffee with a friend… that was yesterday… today is a different story..lol…
