So, a bit of context: I’m dating for the first time. I’ve gone on a few first dates. This post is about the last one.
She was 21F, and we were hitting it off quite nicely. Over the days, we talked on chat, then had a 3–4 hour call, twice. She was quite excited to meet me, and honestly, so was I. Took us two weeks because of her exams and my interviews, and yeah there were a few days when she wouldn't reply for hours and yeah kinda pissed me off a bit cause later she told me she went out to drink since the exams were done, with her roommate a F, and forgot to text but anyway, i never met her so i didnt quite let it into my head.
When we met, I got her chocolates, gave her a hug, and we started talking about random things on the street while waiting for food. We grabbed dinner, then walked to her campus. She showed me around, including some dinosaur relics, and things were really nice. We sat on a bench, started eating, and had a great conversation about the world and the environment (those are topics she loves). We were together for 4 hours in fact, I had to end the date because I would’ve missed my transportation. It was already 11:30 PM by then.
I asked her to text me when she got home, and now that I think about it, it was quite a nice date.
We didn’t talk for the next two days. Then she texted: “Hi, I’m sorry for reaching out so late. I’ve been dealing with some things on my end.” I replied, “Just so you know, you can talk to me about anything you’re going through.” She said that was sweet and that she appreciated it. That boosted my ego a bit, so I texted her the next night, “I hope today was better,” because I thought I should take the initiative for a second date.
Well, she never replied. It’s been 10 days already, so I’m convinced she isn’t interested in me or has found someone else, which is fair ig, and well part of the dating game, i accept it
There were times in between chatting and meeting when she mentioned she was scared I was just using her as “experience,” which felt disrespectful because I wasn’t, and i kept it clean and clear about my intentions. I told her that, but yeah…
Let me know what you all think went wrong.
Did i do too much?
