Gauging interest after second date

[tjk64]

I met someone on an internet dating site a while back. We went on our second date over the weekend. Both dates seemed to have gone pretty well, both were about 3 hours long. Unfortunately, due to vacations and other things each of us have going on, we won't be able to see each other again for almost another month. We live about an hour apart, and typically are pretty busy during the week so we can really only see each other on weekends.

While both dates went well, I'm not totally sure of her interest level. We don't talk every day, usually every other day either though phone or text. She prefers phone over text (I've had her take 10 hours to reply to a text I sent), but usually our phone calls are pretty good. After I got home from our second date, I sent her a quick text saying something like "just got home...thanks again for a really nice time...have a good night!" to which she replied almost right away "glad to hear!", which I though was a bit of a strange reply, but didn't think too much of it. We didn't talk yesterday, and this evening I sent her a text and haven't received a reply, even though she said she wasn't doing anything today.

My gut says her interest level isn't that high. Since a month is a long time without seeing someone, I'm not sure if I should bother too much with her, or move on. She says she is big on being a communicator and is very direct, so if she isn't interested or if something is wrong I'd think she'd say something, but I don't know...

You'll drive yourself nuts worrying about this stuff, so don't. If you like her and want to see her again, then call her and ask her out. If she says no, then she's not that into you. The only thing I can tell you about her from what you've typed here, is that she's dreadfully slow at responding to texts...anything else would just be a guess, same as yours, and you've spent 6 hours with her and know her a bunch better than I.

Totally with her as far as text communication goes. Yuck.

Did you hug her when the date ended? Did you kiss her? Did she turn away and run? These could indicate interest levels...but I wouldn't read much into how quickly she responds to texts.

ha! You just reminded me to check that text I heard come in an hour ago

Anwyay, just keep on dating and doing what you usually do for the month. If you haven't found someone more suited to you in that time, ask her out again and see how things go. But don't wait for her.

Yeah, she gave me a tight hug when we said goodbye for the night, so I have no indication anything is actually wrong but, who knows. I've had dates in the past say they'd love to see me again and that's the last I'd hear from them, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Well PM me your address...so I can come over and teepee your house. At least then you'll have something real to worry about.
