I (31F) met a guy (38M) a couple of days ago on OLD and we had a first date yesterday.
Before we met, he was super talkative all the time which I found overwhelming. He wanted to game together, watch movies down discord etc. We originally planned to meet on Thursday, but we pushed our date earlier to yesterday.
We went for a walk, and then we sat chatting for 1,5 hours. I found him attractive, easy and fun to talk with and left the date with the feeling of wanting to get to know him more. We agreed at the end of the date to see each other again on Thursday, and he gave me a hug. So I thought it was a good ending to the date.
Well, I messaged him later on saying I am looking forward to Thursday and I had fun. He responded "That's great! Me too! But I will be honest with you, I didn't feel anything during our walk today."
That response has left me deflated. I understand it takes more than a first date to know somebody, but was there really any need to say that? I said I will have to think about Thursday and I will let him know by Tuesday.
My friends are all telling me to not meet him after his response but I don't know? I feel confused and part of me is wondering if I am overreacting to his response.
Thoughts?
