What are signs that a man is interested after a first date?

[Anonymous]

If the first date was fun with equal talking, laughing and flirting. A few kisses and the guy referring to future plans and saying “we” statements. What is considered normal and appropriate communication after the first date. I am not very familiar with how functional and emotional healthy males behave. Some pointers would help to have a clear idea of understanding reasonable male behavior.
Thanks!!!

If he calls or texts you without blowing up your phone. The "we" is an assumption. Do let him do this if you're not interested. Emotionally healthy males will give you your space.

[TroyDT]

The clearest sign is that he asks you for another date. Anything short of that does not suffice.

[Summeroflove]

Well as long as you don’t have bad gut feelings. Maybe speak to some close friends or family too. As well as just give it time and see if he wants to go on a second date

If he calls you after that first date, and sets up another date (s). If he texts you to start conversations, but doesn't get annoyed if you don't respond. If it's only been the first date, you should probably find something else to do (find hobbies) instead of worrying if he's interested in you. It's after the six month mark that it's worth asking questions like this. I read somewhere that while it takes women only a short period of time to know how well they will get along well with a guy in the future, the guy only actually falls in love with a woman after he thinks he has done enough to court her and earn her love. It sucks that they only fall in love after they know you're in love with them, but just remember to have fun rather than take things seriously, and you'll be fine.

His continued attempts at contact are a fairly good indication of his interest in you.
Functional and emotional healthy males are not exactly my area of expertise (I tend to go for the deeply broken ones... easier to manipulate).
You need to be reasonable about expectations... but so does he.
Come from a place of strength - "This is who I am, This is what you get"
As for "Reasonable male behaviour" no such thing exists, there is only reasonable behaviour.
Accept nothing less.

"Expectations are only a dress rehearsal for resentment"
One of my most FAVORITE Quotes.
An ex of mine, his mom said it.

[eightyeighthgender]

@jeffiner "This is not disappointment... it's nostalgia"
COME ON GIRL... CHEER THE FUCK UP.
All the bad shit turns into history, and we can live with that.

[jeffiner]

@eightyeighthgender.. umm you're not understanding the quote..
It means that having expectations about something you don't know will disappoint you.
People set expectations high, so when we have them in regards to someone else, u less we have already discussed what we expect of them, then be ready for a let down.
You should really Think before you speak. Of quotes aren't your thing then just move along 🤓.

[eightyeighthgender]

@jeffiner With respect, my dear, the quotation is actually "expectations are just premeditated resentments".
Not an attitude I would advise my children to adopt.

[jeffiner]

I've never heard it he said by anyone other than the mother I spoke of. I like her words better lol.
As far as not advising your children to adopt the attitude, I would say that that would be a wise decision, you don't want them to be cynical. I do think that it is a valid part of reality that should be instilled in children. Otherwise they may head out into the world believing that they deserve what they demand and will only be upset upon finding out that they don't.
The quotes message is deeper than just 'you'll get angry if you set standard/goals because they're most likely not going to happen'..
It's reminding you that you don't have control of anything or anyone but yourself. You shouldn't expect somebody else to be a certain way, react a certain way, behave a certain way, you shouldn't expect somebody to have the same goals just because they have the same dreams. You can't control those things, so to expect them will be a let down and can lead to anger/resentment toward that person.
You shouldn't do it as a boss either.. you can set a deadline and expect it to be met, sure, but if someone fails to meet it for whatever reason, then you'll be angry because what you expected to be done, is not. ..

[jeffiner]

I feel like I should say that the comment with about work is objective. While a company has quotas to be met and is paying their employees to help meet those quotas, they do have every right to expect an employee to drop their job, 💯.
That being said, it doesn't exclude you from being human and becoming angry/annoyed/fed up (however you want to word that) when they don't do their job.
We are face with expectations that aren't met just about every day of our lives, it's those that are cognizant of not being able to control what's outside of them that are able to accept and release the emotions that come from being let down

Every age group is different an of course you have the guys who will say anything just to use you then when board start making less time to be with you an chat less to make it look like the girls to blame but true sign a guy really is into you is the more time he spends with you

[sage2021]

In all of my year's of dating I honestly can say that you really will never know. I have been on some really great dates and think it went really well - and then he doesn't call again. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Anonymous]

I'd have to say if he contacts you thereafter and asks for another date and genuinely wants to talk via phone or text and/or responds in a reasonable amount of time when you do.

[melanieeeB]

Well him talking about another date, still texting with you normally and well showing interest

[BLP11520]

A steady absorbing gaze with a smile, or he looks like he is decapitated 😆

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Wanting another date with you is one sign.

[AddylynnNightingale]

When you keep talking right away

[AddylynnNightingale]

I text after the date when it went well

[KrakenAttackin]

He took time to flush the used condom.

[ZenJen444]

When u don't have to ask

[SayCheez03]

he asks for another

[maximumpower]

He calls you back.

[In_Trance]

A second date
