Search Results: kissing before dating

I went on an online date recently. It was hands down the best first date I've ever been on. She was gorgeous. We talked nonstop, there seemed to be a genuine connection, and I had her laughing literally from the get go. When we parted she said had a great time and we should do it again. I said absolutely. (My only regret is not going for more than a kiss on the cheek. But girls tell me all the time that if it is an online date, you should definitely wait until the second date because she may get skeezed. Not sure how much I still agree with this...) Naturally, a couple days later I asked her out again. No response. We can assume she's received and read the text. I can speculate for an eternity as to why she might ghost (I won't).

It's not like this hasn't happened before. And 99 times out of 100 I wouldn't care and just move on; the beauty of online dating in a huge city is there's an almost endless supply. But this time it really, really bugs me. I've been on far worse dates and still gotten at least a second date or more. I'll admit I'm more disappointed than I probably should be--to the point where I'm considering following up just to get an actual yes or no.

The question is: do I even bother? And if I do, is there a "right" way to do it? Any thoughts, particularly from the ladies?
