Oh, NOW I remember why I hate dating

Had a pretty great time on my blind date the other night. He's cute, got a couple good jobs, very funny and can hold a good conversation. Oh AND...he's a good kisser. (yeah, bad but oh well)

Night ended with him saying "talk soon."

And so now, I wait. And this is a weird week too because of New Year's Eve. He works that night and then has a wedding to go to New Year's Day. So I don't know what to even expect as far as hearing from him again.

My guy friend was like "I always give it at least two or three days. Maybe more if you really want to get her attention."

UGH...really?? Can't we just cut through all that crap now that we're not teenagers?

I'm not lying when I say he looks a LITTLE like James Franco. Obviously, not to that degree of hotness, but very cute. Warm, welcoming eyes and a great smile.

I was SO not good at this either.   At all.   Do you call?  Should he call you?  Ug.  It is all so aggravating! 

I'm eternally grateful that the BF texted me about 30 minutes after our first date.

Maybe you can have the mutual friend intervene and she how he thought things went.

Awww!  Glad it went well!

I'd hate the awkwardness of the "now what?" though -- how annoying!  Hope he calls soon!

So, uh, do you want him to call?   Do you want there to be a second date?  We need deets!

I DO want him to call. I'd love a second date. We seemed to really hit it off, and it would be fun to hang out at least and have someone to do things with.

He's 30, bartends part-time and then does internet sales for a company in Minneapolis so he's really busy. And he bartends. So come on, you can't tell me he doesn't meet a lot of chicks. He has that player vibe about him, so I'm not ready to go full bore quite yet.

But he did say something about not wanting this to be a one-time thing, so I think that's a good sign.... 

r9stedt

Do your friends view him as the player type?

I hope he calls!

I was never good at "playing the game."  I'm still not.  I would call if I wanted to.  That's who I am and I won't put an air on just to play. 

It does scare some men away.  But those are the men I don't want in my life anyway. 

If you feel like calling, call. 

Good luck!  (And glad you had a great time and had some make out time!  LOL)

If you are over playing the teenage games, then pick up the phone and call.  Why wait?!?!?

I re-entered the dating game last summer and made the decision to not play games.  If I liked someone, I told them, called them, and did not sit around and wait.  It was refreshing and really made things a whole lot easier.

So just call

I bet he'll call Monday or Tuesday. As for looking even a little like James Franco..YUMMM! He is the hottest celebrity I've ever seen. SO HOT!
