Should I contact him after first date?

[Anonymous]

So I went out with this guy on Thursday. I had a great time and I really felt like it was a smooth first date. After we finished the date he walked me me to my car, and before I got inside he gave me his number and asked me to text him. I arrived home, send him a text telling him that I got home safe, and thanking him for the date. He told me he has a great time and thanked me again, then said we could go on the weekend to one of the restaurants that we talked about in our date. I said that I would lime that, and that I also had a great time. He hasn't texted since then. i know its only been 2 days, but the weekend is almost over and it feels weird that he suggested to meet on the weekend and never actually texted to talk with me or anything. Should I contact him? Or wait for him to contact me?

Definitely don't contact him, leave the ball in his court. He's the one who suggested it, so he needs to be the one to follow up on it, and now explain his absence since we are approaching the end of the weekend. Assuming he still intends to get back to you.

Either way, don't reach out. I know you feel good and you're excited which is great, but don't validate somebody who just drops the ball on you. You also protect yourself from looking - or feeling - ridiculous if you contact him but he's already ghosted you or blocked you because he wanted to move on with somebody else. We don't know that of course, but don't put yourself out there like that. Let's just see first. If enough time goes by without him saying anything else then you'll know he's not worth it.

Hmmm, probably not.

Perhaps he cannot take the initiative to actually set a date, which is a future indicator of what things will be like with him.

Or, perhaps he changed his mind, and didn't want to go out again.

A question to ask yourself, why are you into him enough after one date to initiate?

Once I went on a date with a guy I’d been talking to for about 2 1/2 weeks, it was an absolutely amazing time, made solid plans for a taco Tuesday. He texts me next day gushing about the night. Calls, says again he had so much fun and can’t wait for the next date, said he’d text me when he left the gym. Never heard from him again! Lol the moral here is men can be weird and make zero sense. If you wanna text then that’s fine, but if he ghosts just know it’s not you.
