Should I ask again for a 2nd date or is he friendzoning me and I don't realize it?

[Leahbear232]

A few hrs after our first date- I sent this:
Me: Had a GREAT time, we should go out again for Ethiopian food sometime, I remember you said you liked that
Him: "yeah I had a cool time"
It's been a week. Should I just him up again asking for a second date- he is replying to some of my Snapchat stories. But I don't wanna seem easy or pushy. What do you think?

Asking again cuz I wasn't clear enough in my last question and responses were vague.

Ask him directly and get an answer. It may be yes, it may be no, that's dating. Plenty of fish in the sea.

[Leahbear232]

Was my message but direct enough? I think it was as direct as can be. I don't wanna force nothing but if you think it wasn't direct than I gotta reevaluate everything hahaha

[Leahbear232]

Well I asked him and have received no response :(

[Leahbear232]

It's the second time so it's lame since he could just say no instead of ghosting me

Yes don't over think it. Just say "so when are we going out next?" or something like that.

[Leahbear232]

Do you read everything? I already told him basically that. I said I had a great time and that we should go get food again. But he just sent a vague response that "yeah I had a cool time". Does this mean he is trying to let me down easy? Since he ignored me mentioning getting his favorite food

Yes I did and I'm saying say this now, again. I don't know if he was trying to let you down or if he really enjoyed it and wants to go out again, but this will tell you by how he responds to the question.

[Leahbear232]

Oh okay. I see what you mean. Alright. Thanks. I think I'll just try to strike up a convo first before asking so I don't seem pushy/impatient. Or do u think I just ask right now?

[Opinion Owner]

In other words you aren't asking IF he wants to go out again, but WHEN.

[Leahbear232]

Should I just send that question now or start a convo first? I don't wanna seem desperate lol

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah just bring it up in general conversation so it seems casual.

[Leahbear232]

It's been a week now and he hasn't answered any of my messages :(

no dating please

there is a virus

GET OVER IT

[Leahbear232]

Have you not heard of the 6 feet rule? Social distancing works. Also I get tested 3 times a week for covid. And I've been vaccinated for everything.

[Leahbear232]

Also, I'm not seeing anyone else. I don't even have friends to see. It's just 1 guy and I go see 1 girl and my Dad. I have no social life lol but I'm vaccinated. What's the point in vaccine if u can't go out.

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

I do not care

if i can't go to work. you should not be going on dates

GET OVER IT
