Help and advice about dating a libra man?

i recently went on a first date with a libra man and it went well. we went and had dinner and had a lot of laughs and jokes and just a good conversation. we were very flirty with each other. he complimented me at times on my nails and saying i smell nice. he paid for dinner then after we walked out of the restaurant he made a move and put his arm around me and i put my arm around him and we started walking towards our cars. and thats when he saw the ice cream place behind the restaurant and asked if i wanted to go. and i said yes. we walked across the parking lot in the rain with arms around each other and when i reached the door to open it he says "hey! you're not suppose to be touching doors!" and opens it for me, which was nice, no guy has ever said that to me. we got ice cream which is also paid for. this time he sat next to me in the booth at the ice cream place. and he kept touching my leg and trying to tickle me and hold my hand by making me warm his hands. it seemed like he liked me. after we walked back to our cars then we sat in my car and talked for about an hour. again he was trying to tickle me and hold my hand. then he hugged me and left my car and went to his. thats when i opened my door and went over to his and hugged him and thanked him. and i thought i would regret it if i didn't kiss him now and never saw him again. so i kissed him. also because it seemed like he wanted me to kiss him the whole night (we also talked about it in text for almost 2 weeks before our date) and he seemed into it and kissed me back. he then told me to go back and turn off my car and go back to his. and so i did and we kissed for a while. stuff happened but not that far. and then we were about to leave and i asked him if we'll see each other again. and he hit me on the butt and said that was for even asking that question. so he smiled and kissed me. the day after i texted him and asked him if he wanted to see a movie that night (since he told me that he was off the whole week from work) and on our phones (imessage) you can see if the person has read it or not. and it's been 4 days since our date and he still hasnt read it. what could that mean? he's busy? it seemed like he liked me. should i be worried? i have read that libra men need a lot of space. or should i tell him i like him? or wait? help

Sit back and make him come to you. You did your part. Quit panicking and go do you.

Definitely wait it out. He's the man let him be one. If he wants you, he??ll come after you. If not then hey. And I can guarantee you he's read that message. When you have imessage you can turn the feature off that tells the person if you read it or not, you can switch it for it just to say —delivered?? and they wont know if you??ve read it or not. So I wouldn't trip too much on that.
I don't think you should be worried, it's too early in the game to be worried.

And yes, you are correct Libra need their space. He's probabl still deciding on you. If you overwelm a libra before they can make a decison on you that could cause the ugly yet famouse disappearing act to come into play. So watch it. I know they are charming, and they almost say and do everything right on spot but its hard to tell their true intentions with you uunless you spend more time or get them to fall for you first. Once they're in love they are darn near an open book and they mean business. Libra love the idea of love, so when they think they've found the real thing they'll do almost anything that doesn't threaten their self-respect or dignity to hold on to it.

However your not that far yet. Let us know when he hits you up for the second date and we'll go from there. Honestly i can tell you he likes a Libra will NOT kiss someone they dont like unless its a peck on the cheek just to be nice. However if he's not ready to settle or anything like that, him being distant could be his way of trying to keep you from falling before he's ready for you too.

You should let him initiate dates and contact. You will push him away if you act insecure and desperate. Imagine that you are a celebrity, that you're high value and in demand. If you believe it, others will too.

This. But in all caps and exclamation points.

Agreed. I'm all for female empowerment and all, but when it comes to dating, sometimes you just have to let the guy do the work in the initial stages. It tells you that he at least has SOME sort of interest. When the female does all the initiating, it leaves him a lot of leeway to take advantage if he's one of those types. You may never know where he really stands if you do all the initiating and chasing.

OP, everyone that's replied has pretty much the same view on the situation. Sitting back and relaxing really does work. I just went through it initially with the one I've hung out with/dated a few times. I realized that I was initiating quite often (casual convo), which was fine. But I wasn't too sure where he stood, so I backed off a bit. Sure enough, he initiated AND finally started backing up all his talk with actions.

Remember, Libra guys are notorious for all talk no action. They're so idealistic in dating that they do truly believe that they want to do x,y,z with you, but following through is another story. If you want him to follow through with what he said, you gotta back off so he can do so. Just think of it that way.

And if he doesn't follow through, well eff that. You just saved yourself a lot of time that you'd have wasted chasing someone who wasn't as into you as you thought (which is why you should at least allow them some leeway to chase YOU).

Learning this lesson well...about all talk no acion. It is frustrating!!! He is thanking me for being so patient!!
I'm either a saint or an idiot..LOL

Pfft, I didn't even let myself get frustrated. I've just been kinda going with the flow and seeing where this is all going. All this talk of how we should hang out and do all these things. Fine, okay. So I just waited for him to follow through. It took him a month! This Taurus venus comes in handy.

To top it off, I know way more about Libras and dating than I did with the last Libra I was with, so I know what to anticipate/expect this time. :p
