Search Results: laughs at what i say

Hello!

I had my first date with a girl yesterday.

Everything went smooth and actually pretty good, in my opinion.

• Chat went smooth, no awkward silence.
• Laughed a lot together.
• Saw her stare (in the periphery) at me when she showed me something on her phone.
• She had open body language: No arms across or wandering eyes on the surroundings.
• She let me pay the bill.
• Bumped shoulders a lot during walk.
• Physical contact (during laugh or showing/pointing at something etc): Stroke her back/arm/hand on knee, and no signs of withdrawal, so I assume she was comfortable with me.
• Didn't kiss, because I don't want to do that first date, but we did a farewell (long) hug.
  *We said we had a good time, before we part.

So withing one hour I also sent her a follow-up message, yet again that I had a great time with her and I'm open to have a second date.

Now she have been online on FB-Messenger 2-3 times since the date.
She haven't "read it" it though, but I'm sure you can read it in the notificationbar and then swipe it away.

My question.

• Why would you not respond to a successful date?
• How long should I wait before sending a text again, and what should I say without come out as needy?

This young woman and I chat on and off. She thinks I am cute - she told me. She has said she loves me and misses me but I don’t know her well. I don’t say I miss you to someone unless it’s romance but she could be different with how she used the term. We are both left handed and she said it’s fate and laughed at it when she found out but she sent a love heart Whenever I write to her she gives love hearts. She sends me photos of herself and sometimes at random. She sent me a photo with her hiding her face - she is very active on social media and never hides her face to anyone else in any pictures so I thought it was kind of different. Why do I get this picture? Why hiding her face? Of course I hope she likes me but of course I don’t know Whenever I write to her she opens it straight away and either reacts to the chats or writes back Something happened which caused me to fear losing her because I do like her so I said to her I love you because she has said it to me before. I said it because I thought yeah friends can say that to each other. She didn’t say anything. She posted a meme about dating an older guy after immediately after I said ily to her. I am like 5 years older than her. I could be overthinking because I want to know the future and of course I want her to like me but yeah what do you all think?
