Search Results: show my affection

I don’t know if I am a bad judge of character when it comes to dating but I just want to find a guy that’s romantic, handsome, intelligent, good sense of humor and very conscientious of me. I’ve only been on two dates with a guy and he seems to be interested in me but I fear he’s too socially awkward and lacks experience with women. I lack dating experience too but that’s when I expect the guy to take initiative. I like the person I’m speaking to but I fear things will never properly envelop because he’s so shy and this will most likely result in a lack of romantic gestures. He doesn’t text me good morning or check up on me during the day, he only will text me to respond to what I previously said; just based on the topic we left off talking about. He told me he liked me and all but other than taking me out to dinner or what not, he hasn’t shown any form of affection, not even a hug. He takes a while to respond to texts, I’m used to guys being more consistent. And I brought this to his attention too but he hasn’t really made any alterations, it’s the usual few texts a day.

Around 2 weeks ago, I went out with a guy I met online for the first time. We video chatted prior and spoke online prior. On the first date, he asked me on a second date but did not show any affection on the first date. He texted on a somewhat daily basis, however, they were not back to back or in depth. We went out a second time yesterday and he didn’t kiss or hug me again, he ended up asking me out to dinner again and texted me last night telling me he had a good time. I brought to his attention before having our second date that I was curious if he did like me because he hasn’t been texting me very often. And here is our conversation prior to meeting up yesterday:

Me: Can I ask something?

Him: Always

Me: So you say you're interested in talking to me... so why don't you message often? You only talk to me when we left off of a topic or following up. Are you just not interested in speaking more consistently to me or do you have nothing to say?

Him: I am but I guess I stopped of it was hard to text you while you were at work I didn't want to get you in trouble🙄. Or annoyingly chatty. So then what did you end up doing on Saturday if you don't mind me asking🤪.

Me: I see where you're coming from and I know we have only gone out once, I am just used to talking on a more consistent basis, which is something that had me weary. And I rested. Wasn't feeling my best.

His last text was last night after our date and I haven’t heard from him since. I don’t want to sound crazy or desperate. He did text me a bit more often yesterday morning, after I sent that message about lack of texts.
