If the day after a first date a guy sends you this text?:

"It was so lovely to see you at last! I had an amazing time 🙂 I hope you have a safe trip home and chat soon ?"

Background: we live in different countries, we have been talking for months, I went to his city for work and he invited me for dinner and send me that message the day after when I was on my flight back.

My thoughts are that is his polite way to say that I will never see or hear from him again... what are your thoughts dxpners?

I think it's pretty nice... like @Kilgore said: enthusiasm.

Thank you kilgore, I appreciate your kindness

We met Thursday night, he sent me that on Friday afternoon and I reply on Saturday early morning "thank you for an amazing time 🙂 hope to chat soon ?" he read it but didn't said anything afterwards.

Yes I'm insecure and overthink things, that's not news, that's why I asked what other people thought. My question was what to think of him not what you think of me.

Maybe he just didn't want to respond right away - same as you. I wouldn't worry too much. I always found dating confusing and stressful

I agree with dating being confusing and stressful, I really should stop dating until I work on my insecurities. After this one I will take some time off.

Anyway: thank you again, for your kindness and understanding ?

He didn't respond because you didn't respond until Saturday morning...almost a day later from friday afternoon.

If a guy did that to you...you would thinking, he's uninterested, playing games, full of shit...all these double standards smh

Oh no, he asked me to text him when I landed which is what I did. He knew I was flying and the minute I landed and saw his message I replied to him. I didn't wait because I was playing games, as a matter of fact I didn't wait at all! I reply at 5 am his time.

No problem. You don't have to stop dating to deal with insecurities - you can do them at the same time. I am married and have insecurities. I don't leave my wife to deal with them; I just work on them

I'm working on them, I have been in therapy the last 7 months. But I honestly don't think anyone would be attracted to the insecure ball of nerves that I'm but running away doesn't seem right either. Hence me venting on the internet ?

Oh ok...maybe since it was 5am his time is why he didn't respond further...i mean he responded to your initial text of you landing

No, when we parted ways he told me "text me when you land" before I landed when I was in flight he send me the text that he had an amazing time, when I landed and saw his message I reply that I had an amazing time too after that nothing.

You just do your best like everyone else does. Obviously I don't know you. But isolating yourself isn't necessarily the answer.

I'm trying, really. Thank you, you really made me feel better ?

Update: I couldn't help myself and texted him, he was all "oh I left my phone at work, how are you?" I didn't bought that and said "whatever bye"

Like I said I think I need alone time to work on me, but thanks to all the nice comments!


That was kind of rude 😢 How do you know he didn't actually leave his phone at work? It happens to me more often that I'd like to admit :/

Maybe that was an overreaction? But that is as an outsider. If you were getting stressed about it, maybe best to leave it, especially bc he lives far away

Exactly.
