So...my first date

He had been texting me a lot last week, which made me a little eh.  We met for dinner Friday night and he was very, very nice.  Cuter than his pictures.  We went for drinks afterwards, still having a good time.  We kissed a bit.  Overall, a really good date.

Well, he's been texting me all weekend.  Saturday night he asked me to call him so he could hear my voice.  Ugh.

So, I think I'm going to tell him that I'm a little overwhelmed and that I think he's looking for something much more serious than what I'm looking for.  If it wasn't for the texting, I'd be interested in seeing him again, but the texting has become SUCH a turnoff. 

The day I left was just my beginning.

  • Yeah, don't blame you for saying something.  Sounds like he's coming on a bit too strong.

  • Ugh, why do men do this?!  It's so needy and such a turn off.

  • I think it is fair to let him know you are not looking for something serious. He sounds nice enough, but you're not there yet, ya know? 
  • The clingy-ness of the texts would turn me off too.
  • Oh, and I should say- I did tell him that I was just looking to meet some fun people to hang out with.

  • Clingy is annoying.  If he continues after you re-iterate that you're not looking to delve into something serious, I'd cut it off.

    Sucks.

     

    BUT.  You got the first post-separation date out of the way, and it was a nice time.  That's something to celebrate!

    So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

    Yes!  This calls for some confetti and fairy dust!

    Haha, thanks.  It's a relief, and I'm glad it didn't totally suck.

    Consider it a practice date! Glad it was nice and not something that would have scared you off from dating!

  • HATE it when they come on too strong!

  • How is he supposed to resist the sweet sweet sugar known as Rak!

    I am glad you had fun : )

  • They either smother us or avoid us, right!!?! So frustrating! Anyway, good for you for having a post separation date and I wouldn't blame you for ending it w/ him either.
  • Glad it went well enough and is now out of the way!  Good luck with ending it.
  • This is a turnoff even when you ARE looking for something serious.  I mean, ffs, the guy barely knows you!  All this overboard texting and wanting to hear your voice has got to feel less like he really likes you, and more like he really wants to like someone, anyone.

  • I'm just so happy that you dated someone else, lol.

    And that the date itself went well.

    Good job! lol

    This is exactly what I think when a guy moves too fast.
