Hi all,
I went on a first date with a girl from hinge last Saturday night which went well, (she was even the one to message back that night saying she had a really nice time).
We kept the convo going through Sunday and Monday and I asked her out again on Tuesday saying “when are you next free x we can do mini golf and drinks this time?”
She then said “literally September is just as busy as August for me. Going to America in a couple of weeks but maybe after that?”
This is where I was so confused since she was the one who messaged back so I thought it would be a Banker she was interested. In the past at this point I was way to needy and tried to always get a day still in the cal. But this time I replied with “No worries, yeah let me know after that”
Was the above a good response to put the ball in her court without looking desperate? She didn’t respond to that specific message but has continued to keep making small talk and asking questions so I haven’t been rude and ghosted but have kept responding (but now not asking to many questions back) and won’t be iniating the chat when it dies.
Wanted to see if there is anything I could have improved this time for the future or have I played it completely fine and she’s just keeping me as a back up?
Im still getting used to the whole online dating, last time I had a similar thing and the girl kept stringing me for 4 months for a second date before ghosting so this time I’m trying to protect myself and be more ruthless
