Dating Advice.. (omg so lame, I know)

Maybe you were this guy's complete fucking social reject. He might be starting a thread on some other forum about how women on dating sites lie.

IMO, just contact him via email or whatever way you guys were in contact in the first place. Only 48 hours doesn't seem like that long... I'd probably give it another day or so, but that's me. If you want to do it now then do it now.

Haha he's probably busy, I sometimes call my date 1 week later because I'm so swamped with work.

Wasn't there a book/movie about this? 'He's just not that into you'

>Men are supposed to reach out within a day! No-- as a guy in his late twenties, I say a couple days to a week is more typical. You went on date #1, now the ball's pretty much in his court. If you still haven't heard back from him in a week, and you want to see him, send him a text. You have nothing to lose at that point anyhow.

he wasn't attracted to you. Oops. yup

Did you sleep with him?

Obviously she did not. At least then she would have been guaranteed a booty call.

i dont play any stupid games. if i pick up a girl the night before i will usually text something the next day. nothing crazy just a hey wats up or wadevz. thats how i roll. after a date if it went well ill most likely text the next day or day after.

Don't read too much into until it reaches the 6 or 7 day mark. If you feel like calling him then call him (unless you think it might make you look desperate). The bottom line is that you should know already if he's going to call. Did you feel a mutual connection? Oh, and BTW, this is probably the last place you should be seeking "dating" advice.

It's still too early to doff all hope, but expect the worst and you shan't be disapointed. Out of curosity, why do you believe men "reach out after the first date;" if anything, either sex is less inclined to commit early these days than way back when. In Shakespearean times, a man supplicated a sire for a suit, once granted, the woman would prostrate herself and they'd be wed in days. Things are not so simple anymore (not that I necessarily wish they were). I've wrestled with the thought of joining an online dating site, but I can't imagine many girls fulfilling my modest standards on such a network. I'm sure there are some diamonds in the rough, the rest, however, were culled from standard dating practices as far back as utero. Even if dating sites were flooded with delicious honies, something seems rather artificial about the whole setting. Upon what criteria are people matched? If common interests, why not pair me with my best same sex friend? What kindles one's desires in the opposite sex is a physical attractiveness, not limited to beauty in the strictest sense of the word; a certain comportment which one may discern only in the flesh; the nature of the first meeting also endows the object of attraction with a special something too, and the computer screen is its alloy. That said, I'm 25, and I can't speak of an environment in which to meet worthwhile singles. Thus, I resort to asking out girls on the street, with little or no prior conversation, my interest is often requited with legit cell phone numbers but -- too infrequently -- a date. Faded501s is right...what signs existed on the date of his interest or disinterest? You have spoken very little about the particulars.

maybe you were too much of a snob.

Yeah, who knows..they seem interested and give their actual phone numbers, but nothing comes of it. There was this one college girl working in a recreation office at a park, she had unlocked the bathroom door for me then I went into her office and asked her to coffee without exchanging a word beforehand. She said sure as if she were automaton, I suppose her face betrayed surprise at my boldness...I was going to play Basketball with my friends and didn't have my phone with me, so I told her to call my number and she did. Well, upon texting her she did not return questions and the like. Nothing came of it. But enough of that, it is not my intention to hijack this thread.

I just realized mharwitt was probably answering the OPs question - snob is often masculine, thus the reason for my confusion.
