I matched with a girl on Hinge a few days ago and we went out last night. It was honestly one of the best first dates I've had in a long time — real butterflies. We talked about deep stuff, laughed a ton, and just clicked. She was quirky in a really charming way. We talked about ourselves, family, and friends.
We grabbed a couple beers, walked around, and ended up at Starbucks. I got a coffee, she didn’t. While we were sitting there, I noticed a bug crawling on her shoulder, brushed it off, stepped on it, and cleaned it up. She smiled at me like she couldn’t decide if it was awkward or sweet, and we kept talking.
It was cold outside so she asked me if she could sit close to me on a bench. I said, "Sure." She cuddled we up next to me and I put my arm around her and rubbed her arm. After a couple of minutes she leaned back out and faced me. She continued the conversation touching my knee on occasion, and saying she was going over her friends after to talk about how things went tonight. When we got to her car, I opened the door, I kissed her few times, and I got her number. She said, "Make sure you wend me yours." I said, "I will..promise😉" and gave her a quick kiss. She joked I tasted like coffee. I drove away thinking, “Wow, that chemistry was amazing. I really liked her!"
I texted to make sure she got home, and she replied: “I did. Thanks so much for your time tonight. It was nice meeting you.” Which threw me off — sounded like a polite goodbye. I kept my response simple, and didn’t get a reply this morning. It was a great date and things got close fast, so maybe I’m overthinking and she’s waiting for the next move… or maybe she got spooked. Either way, I’m trying not to read too much into it yet. But, historically when I get the "it was nice meeting you." Text..thats a subtle way of saying I'm not continuing. Does it seem like she's spooked and backing away, or it was a polite, neutral response?
