Update and Question!

So I posted earlier about a friend of a friend who I met last Friday. We clicked right away and exchanged numbers. You guys all posted great advice on what my next move should be after he texted me once but didn't ask me out.

So I decided to text him Tuesday night to ask if he wanted to meet for drinks after work. He got back to me and we had our first date yesterday. We met for drinks at one place and ended up having dinner there too. Then we switched to another bar that had live music and dancing. Our date started at 5:30 and ended at 12:30 do it was definitely a success.

It went super well mostly because we have the SAME exact humor, which is so hard for me to find here in DC. It was so refreshing to meet someone so smart and career-oriented but who didn't care what others thought and was just all smiles and goofy like me.

Anyway, it ended with a goodnight kiss on the cheek - totally appropriate considering we said goodbye on the metro. I really had a good time and would like to see him again.

One thing I definitely got the sense of though is that he is extremely busy - he works full time and is also in his last semester of getting his masters (where he is actually in 2 programs). I am a bit worried I will have to keep making the plans and making the moves but I guess we'll see. I don't know if any of you guys have any advice on that.

One question I did have is do you ever send a thank you text after? Silly question but I want to make sure he does know I am interested b/c I know I can very easily come across as I am not just because I hold back a lot. Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Re: Update and Question!

  • Yay! Definitely a thank you text, and maybe put the ball in his court. "I really had a good time with you, let me know if you would like to hang out again sometime.". Not those exact words, but something that prompts him to ask you out! Proud of you for biting the bullet - something I struggle with!
  • Agreed that a thank you text would be fine. Glad you had a good date :)
