I guess I've been playing the game, which I hate, and vow never to do, by thinking I should wait all week to call her. Silly. Its been 3 days since the date, its time to call. She wouldnt have texted me after the date and had a text conversation if she was not interested, in my own opinion. Very true, very true.

That's a sign for you. Rip that bandaid off my friend. What are you afraid of? Just do it. One phone call isn't going to make or break her ... if she likes you, she likes you. <br /><br />Simple.

We never stop talking and 3 of the 4 were GREAT dates but I am questioning whether or not she is interested. She has held her cards tight. She answers my calls, and my text messages, and she texted after date 4 to be sure i got home. We exchanged a few more texts that same night, all intiated by her. But do I hang low, and wait for her to call/text again. In my heart of heart I know she is interested and wants to be courted...but does she? Ok ladies, 4 dates in 2 weeks, is that too much?

My first single mom date was a lunch date, and while I was a little nervous, I went without any plan or agenda, other than to enjoy a couple hours with a grown-up :) I ended up meeting a nice guy and a great father, but unfortunately the chemistry just wasn't there. I'm not afraid to keep trying until I get it right, but I will always just be who I am. Ooo- have fun!

Just be yourself...if it's there, it's there. If it's not, c'est la vie. Best of luck...I think it's great that Mr. Plane Dude is up for the date. Got my fingers crossed for you.

As a guy has recently started dating a single mom, its so refreshing that she is just herself. If there's any chemistry at all, its a cake-walk. He'll let you know he wants to see you again, and you already said that you would do the same. I'm with Midwest Guy.

My last date talked so very much about himself in a totally rehearsed way ... I was stunned bored. The most fun I had was in getting dressed for the date. Seriously Alaina, you could show up in what you wear on laundry day. Lisa D mentioned "weeding techniques" and I'm kind of peaked over hearing more about those.
