So I (26F) went on my first ever date with a guy I matched with on hinge (28M). He and I met up for coffee on Sunday morning. I thought the date went well (other than I overshared, which I unfortunuately have the habit of oversharing when I'm nervous and I feel like an idiot)

I've never really had the chance to go out on dates before now really other than the times I've been stood up, I've never even broken the talking-stage barrier, most of the time I just end up getting ghosted. But after our date, I couldn't remember if I had thanked him so I texted him after our date to thank him for coming out and for paying for my tea and apologized for oversharing at any point and that I had a great time, but I never heard back. I thought I'd give him the day since we did get up super early and he had to go to work right after our date, but then I had the hope that maybe he would get back to me Monday, I spent the day trying to distract myself so I wouldn't feel like I was waiting around all day for him to text back. But then Monday night came around and still nothing so one of my friends told me to maybe check in again, I feel weird double texting but I just sent over a quick text to check in and the more I thought about it, the more I started thinking I did something wrong and that I've been ghosted yet again.

I'm a very emotional person who lets my feelings and emotions get the best of me and I overthink a lot and been a bit of an emotional mess the last day and a half thinking I'm not good enough for him. I've been trying to convince myself that maybe he's just a really bad texter because even before our date he hadn't had the greatest track record with texting, but I'm starting to think that I did something wrong and that it's me.

Sorry for this rambling mess, idk if this didn't really make much sense, but I'm not exactly sure what I should do or what I should think now.
