What does ''we'll keep in touch mean'' after the first date?

[lemonette]

After our first date with this guy he told me ''We will keep in touch''. Does he mean a second date or just being friends? What does it mean when a guy says I'll be in touch?

[aquaman]

I think that, it basically says, 'Let's stay connected.' It shows an interest in continuing our communication and maybe exploring where things could go. It's a way of saying that the date went well, and there's an eagerness to keep building a connection.

But, you know, the meaning can vary from person to person. Some folks might genuinely want to keep dating and see where it leads, while others might say it just to be polite, without making any firm commitments. To really understand what they mean, it's important to observe their actions in the days after the date. Do they reach out, suggest future plans, or keep the conversation going? These are signs they're likely genuinely interested. In any case, communication is key in these early stages of a potential relationship, so if you feel the same way, don't hesitate to reciprocate and take it one step at a time.

That is something i never said to a girl after dating... that sounds so distant...😳

- Maybe he has to think about the way he feels about you and a second date.

- maybe he is running with his tail between his legs.

- or many many other things are possible.

I'm a guy but to be honest i have no clue what he means by that.

But the good news... keep in touch does not mean you can't contact him.

If he is not replying or acts weird. You will know your answer. 😀

[CatVader]

sort of hard to know without all the other informatics..
like facial expression and sound of voice while saying it.
essentially it just means good bye see you again.
usually have some emphasis that you really will see each other again or that he really does want to.

[Juneberry91]

Remember beautiful words can mean nothing if the action does not take place.

I would take it as that “ will keep in touch means let’s keep conversing” but if he never comes around that reviles he was being polite. If he talks with you and continues going out he’s getting to know you to desire how he feels about you. Attraction is fast and burn out by the more time a guy takes with you and gets to know you that’s good.

[provokeesmokee]

in my opinion, it means "thanks, but I won't contact you again".

Basically a soft and trailing rejection in an effort not to hurt you. But also still kinda gives him an in if you're desperate for his attention.

in my opinion, I'd be continuing to date around and wouldn't really consider him unless he makes the effort to contact me again.

[AviatorTom]

That's a nice way of saying Thanks for the date but there won't be a second one.

[coachTanthony]

It's a nervous response like well see you around. Nobody wants to hurt someone's feelings but in the end you do come off inauthentic.

[ProbablyClueless]

I interpret that to mean that there won't be a second date.

I've found that people also say a lot of really pointless, vague, unclear shit where they say one thing and mean something totally different because they have no self or social awareness.

So who knows? Maybe his loins ache for you

If you cross her mind after the date, she might call you. If she is out with someone else, she will only think of you IF she decides that YOU are better than who she is presently with. This however does not mean you will get a call. IF she is interested from the get go, she should indicate that she will reach out to you soon. Communication was and still is the 'Big game' it always has been.

[serious]

It means he will keep in touch with you, message you and maybe during those interactions he may mention the second date.

If the first date went well then surely it is a good sign.

[exitseven]

It could mean a second date but it probably means that it is not going to really happen.

[sage2021]

In guy speak it means he will never be in touch again and wanted out of there FAST!

[Billlewis]

Normally that means they're not interested in seeing you again any time soon, but they might call you eventually.

[Billlewis]

I just started following you and I'd like to invite you to follow me as well if you want.

[Jdodkfndosn]

A guy should never initiate the second date. If he showed the girl a good time, and she likes him, she will initiate. So him saying we'll keep in touch is him leaving the door open while not looking like he already all about you

[Jdodkfndosn]

If you like him and want to have a second date, ask him out. His response will be more important then this statement

[OfMiceandMen]

I would take that as... he enjoyed the first date and he's going to text/call you back in the near future for a second one.

[Taylor_C]

It's basically the same as saying fuck off, but in a more polite way.

[Fireguy17]

That can go either way, yes I liked what I saw and I would like to get to know you better, or it can be a "polite" way blowing you off.

[cnj421]

Don’t read into it too much. It could mean anything.

[Jdodkfndosn]

Agree. When girls have asked me on a second date during the first, I'll respond with some kind of comment like that. "Yes, we'll see, let's keep in touch" . I can't make it seem like I have no life (even if I don't) to where I can agree for another date again for any day, any time (thatd be highly unattractive)

[annabananna]

That’s one that could go either way. Just be patient and see if they really want to keep in touch or not.

[Marklaw12]

He's hopeful you guys can have another date.

If you've already shagged him. It means he's gone.

[Andres77]

It’s like when the HR department where you applied for a job tells you “we’ll call you“

[Guido]

It's a total non commitment response that says date was ok but not great. I will keep you in mind as a backup if other plans fail in the future.

[yumziee]

It means he just wants to keep you around as you're not the 'one' for him block him and just enjoy the memories you've made with him. Don't ever let this stupid boys kill our vibeee

[007kingifrit]

no man has ever wanted friendship with a woman. you have no male friends... if that helps

[TallAnon]

It's pretty polite, but doesn't make them feel keen on another date.
