Should I Text Him After a Good Date

It is normal to wonder if he is interested after a good date. Based on his positive response, he likely enjoyed meeting you. Giving him some time to initiate further contact is recommended. If he doesn't reach out soon, you can consider texting again to express your interest. Trust your instincts and be patient in the process.

Hi! I am a female taurus, 22. I was at a restaurant this weekend and a waiter kept on staring and making eye contact with me. I thought he would make a move but he never did, my friends said he seemed quite shy. I went back an hour later and gave him a paper with my number. He texted me and we went out last night for tea, and was really good, he spoke about his passions and interests. He is 28 and a virgo.

He didn't make plans for a second date though, and didn't text me. So I just texted him now saying thank you for the tea and that i enjoyed meeting him. He texted back saying 'Hi olivia! It was a real pleasure. I enjoyed my time with you too.'

Now what? Is he not interested?

He also said he was nervous about meeting me and couldn't study because he was thinking about it all day. So he was a bit shy. Should I ask if he wants to do something soon? Thanks ...

I'm not a virgo, but I'll give my opinion anyways. I think you should not ask him out & you should wait for him to ask you out instead.

Until now you have been the one making all the moves, first giving him your number and then being the first one to initiate contact after the date. You already show that you are interested, know the ball is in his court. If he wants you he'll contact you, if not then is his loss. But you have been the one doing all the chasing and you have not given him the opportunity to miss you & long for you, remember that absence creates anticipation.

Don't seem to disparate in the initial stages of your acquaintance. I think you should just relax, do your own thing & let him contact you. Don't text him or call him, let him do the chasing, men find thrill in that. But, that's just my opinion.

Leave it up to him. If he's interested, he will pursue it. He'll find an excuse to contact you even if he's nervous. Relax, let him be a man. Men like to do the hunting.

You let him know you were interested by the last text, which was appropriate to say thank you and you had a good time.

I'm giving all new advice is 2014....

Do whatever the hell you want. Call the man, text the man, do what feels right to you.

So what if he doesn't respond. He might.

Just don't give up the scones until you are sure that his intentions are honorable.

Hello, thank you for the answers. I did what felt right and gave him my number which turned out great. But if I initiate again it may seem desperate? He does seem shy, he even admitted it, but won't he lose interest if I ask him out?

In my opinion, if you seem too eager, too available and as if you are at his beck and call, specially so early on, he will find NO challenge in that. No matter how shy a man is, if he is truly interested he will make an effort. But at the end, as the other users said, is your decision and you do what feels right for you 🙂

Thanks 🙂 I am not going to contact him I've decided.
Do you think he is interested in me though, or am I just imagining things..?

His final text was polite and never went any further. He didn't ask any questions to continue chatting.

As he said, "I enjoyed my time with you too." Period

No I don't think he is interested.

why not text him to reserve a good place in the restaurant since he's the waiter there

some guys ... in fact alot ... are dense and dumb knowing nothing coming to them

he's not asking much because you both just got to know each other

you just gotta put a little more effort

I got some advise, do what you feel is right.

Screw the waiting around bullshit. If you want something, you go out there and get it!! And if it's not what you hoped for it to be? BAM, millions of other fine fish waiting to slap around your saddle bag 😉
