How long to wait to text after a hook-up?

[ElectricRx]

Ok so I met a guy a few weeks ago. I just got out of a long serious relationship, and just looking for someone fun to be with, Long story short, he does not seem to be interested in anything too serious either (due to current obstacles also). Anyways, we agreed to meet up for a casual hookup after just one sorta"date." It was fun and intense. We both are really casual and comfortable with each other. So he texted me right after our hookup and then again later on that night to see how I was doing at work. The next day, I didn't hear from him. However, I would like to indeed have future hookups with him! And no, I don't plan on marrying this guy but I did have fun.
So I am wondering should I wait for him to text again, or should I take the plunge? And if so, what should I say and how long to wait? I don't want to give him the impression I'm trying to become his gf (or that I am desperate). Thanks!

thanks for the advice everyone. Yes we have been currently hooking up, and we are having fun. Just as it should be ;)

Text him but like WCM78 said, make sure he understands you're intentions. He might think you caught feelings. A lot of of us guys would be looking at the phone like, "Aww man I put it down so good now she wants me. I shouldn't have cuddled with her after that's what did it.. that was too much".

exactly haha. SO whats the best things to say via text to show I have no fluffy feelings here. This is another reason I would rather wait a few days to text rather than the day after, so that a) I don't appear clingy and b) since I don't plan to hook up again until like next week (depending of course on the circumstances etc).

I don't know It depends on the guy. For instance, I'm oblivious to the hints and cues women leave in text messages so a more aggressive/sluty approach would be helpful. You might have to just ask outright to be FWB. A female friend of mine ask me over Facebook.. It was one of the best moments I had being a teenager.

@Opinion owner…yeah I agree that it's best to be upfront about it. I usually just speak my mind anyways haha. I figure a little aggressiveness should work, and most likely he will be happy about it. How could a guy not?

[mr90skid]

He can't be mad.. unless he caught feelings lol

[ElectricRx]

he's been liking a bunch of my pictures posted on instagram this weekend lol. I think its his way of indirectly trying to get my attention. I will text him tomorrow and see how it goes ^_^

[mr90skid]

Haa he wants to give you the D. Hope it all goes well

He could be busy which is why he hasn't replied back yet. I know that if I had a great time with a girl I'm a casual hookup, I'd be interested in more. Feel free to text him, just send him a hey with a smiley face. No more no less.

[ElectricRx]

Thanks, he definitely appeared interested afterwards, not just in words but in body language too. I figure a simple text like that seems fine.

Sometimes some men will feel annoyed when they have to do all the chasing, he will appreciate the fact you texted first. I always worried that I annoyed other people when I always texted first, so I stopped texting them until they decided to hit me up first. Now we text more or less equally.

[WCM78]

He's not going to have a problem with you texting him. Just be sure he understands your intentions.

[ElectricRx]

yep you're probably right. We have been texting very casually before the hook-up happened anyways

[WCM78]

Text him, & enjoy yourself.
