Contacting an Online Date

[1892]

Hi All

 

I have (hopefully) a very simple situation that i’d like to run by people to get their opinions.

 

In the week I went on a 2nd date with a Woman I met on a dating site (we are both mid 30s). The date went pretty well and she mentioned several times whilst we were out that she enjoyed it. I asked her to let me know that she got home ok, which she did and also again said she enjoyed the evening.

 

I sent her a message later that night saying that I’d enjoyed it to and asked if she would like to meet again.

 

That was 2 days ago and she hasn’t replied yet. I was wondering if people (especially women) thought if it would be appropriate to send a follow up message, say at the end of the weekend just asking if she had a nice weekend and not mention another date or should I wait a while longer to see if she replies?

 

BTW all our communication is still via the dating site as we haven’t swapped numbers or anything.

You haven't exchanged numbers but you went on a date? Hmmm that's interesting. Never encountered that. Maybe she hasn't signed in yet? It's hard to say whether or not she is ignoring you since you're messaging her on social media and not the phone.

No do not contact her again...you have messaged her already. Consider it a game of tennis....you have hit the ball over the net...you wait for it to be returned to you....you don't keep hitting balls over the net.

 

It's a good rule of thumb that actually works!

I'd message her again without mentioning the date.
