Hmm.... not sure how it went at the end. This dating thing is HARD! We went for dinner and that was a 4 hour event. Lots of talking. He's very easy to talk to and I felt pretty comfortable. So he dropped me off and got out and walked me to my door and gave me a nice hug and said we'd do it again and that was it. I guess I expected a "plan" to be made again (oh, those darned expectations) right then or something more concrete.
That 'no plan' thing might be a guy thing (though I am not the one to go to for dating advice or insights into the male personality! LOL! I did read that somewhere, though! ;-) )
I definitely need more than one encounter to be my best, and often to figure out if I really like someone (unless, of course, it's a definite "I can't STAND this person!" gut reaction, or something that doesn't click).
The good news is it felt pretty comfortable, you spent 4 hours talking and he's easy to talk to, and he gave a nice hug without being pushy.
As for future plans: you can wait for him to call, and see if he really did mean that you'll do it again (or if it was just one of those "things you say in this circumstance because it's expected"--I hate that sort of thing!). OR you could take the initiative, find something cool to do (an afternoon something in a park? something that you talked about that you are mutually interested in : a stamp show, a banjo concert, a Habitat for Humanity charity auction....facetious examples, but just an idea of "mutually interesting things").
You may or may not see each other again, but if you don't, just think of it as a good first step (getting your feet wet). It might be pretty phenomenal to meet "Mr Right" first thing, but also pretty unlikely. If you get stuck thinking he's going to be 'the one,' you might miss the 'better one' that's coming up next.
Glad you had a good time!
