Aug 27, Oct 4, Some people are just not great planners! And everyone knows how hectic life can be. I would, however, notice if they mention plans and then don't follow up on them when the day comes—you want a mature adult who's willing and able—not to mention, interested enough—to make things happen.
Of course, if you feel like they habitually hit you up out of convenience or they rarely make an attempt to show you that they're thinking about you, then you should feel free to let them know Confused by modern dating? You're not alone. WH has answers Oh man, the thank-you text.
Is there any text more debated and controversial than the one that directly follows the first date? I know some people think the woman absolutely should send one shortly after the end of the first date to let the other person know that she's interested, and then others think it should always fall on the guy assuming you're pursuing a male prospect. I'm sort of old-school when it comes to pursuit dynamics, which evolutionarily speaking, tend to be led by the male.
As long as you thanked your date warmly and sincerely in person before parting ways which, btw, you absolutely should do whether you're into seeing them again or not , I believe there's no reason to send a follow-up text.
Doing so can put them in a position where they feel obligated to respond in a certain way and removes any healthy tension on their part of wondering, Oh, she said she had a good time; I think she likes me, but I'll have to feel her out in a few days. That's a great place to leave them. That said, if you worry that you were a little standoffish or far from flirty on the date I get it Don't overthink this.
It's not a job interview—if you know you showed your enthusiasm in person, the ball is in their court. Let them throw it. Even after a great date, someone might need to figure out how compatible they think you two might be and what plans they can make. That's plenty of time for a person to have decided whether and when they want to see you again. After that point, it's safe to assume that they're unable or unwilling to prioritize even the idea of you.
I'm not anti- first-date sex , but I'm also not necessarily for it. As a therapist, I know that it's it's very, very important to truly know not only someone's intentions but also whether their actions align with them, and that's hard to figure out upon first meeting them.

Like Like. Like Liked by 1 person. Great post. Never, never, never ever agree to a last minute date. It makes you seem too available and therefore of not much value. Play it cool and suggest another day, but only suggest two days more than a week away. Thank you so much for your feedback!! Thanks again and I look forward to hearing more from you! I think most of this makes a lot of sense, but like all rules, sometimes they can be bent or broken.
I guy asked me out last Friday night, I was out to dinner with friends but ended up meeting him after and we danced till 3am, it was fun! You could be flexible, or bend rules, for the right person! I do get what you are saying but I think at the end of the day the heart wants what the heart wants and that lady that wrote The Rules is divorced!
I had no idea one of the authors of the Rules Book is divorced now. Thanks for telling me, this is good to know! And again, thanks for your input, I love hearing other perspectives! Great point and well said Staci!! Thanks for taking the time to read my article and share your perspective! I think it totally depends on the situation. For me that has only meant one thing, the expectation of sex and I am not interested in casual sex.
