So I asked what you suggested and she just wants to be friends. Time to move on. Thanks for your advice.

Aww seagoon that’s sweet of you. I do. I’d describe her as a keeper for sure.

Thanks mate appreciate it! <3

Thanks mate, from what you and Pilk have said better off just playing it cool and letting it flow.

I’m all for that, just wanted to make sure I wasn’t actually getting a solid no.

Yep, I’m a worrier. Guilty as charged.

I’ll post updates as they roll in.

Love you guys and thanks!

OK thanks Pilk, I’ll keep that in mind as well.

I guess we just keep talking organically and if a second date happens it happens.

Alternatively I could be more direct with her say tomorrow when she’s not hungover and see what she says.

I do like the idea of being direct about it all. We’re grown ups after all.

EDIT: As fullkit and yourself have suggested I’ll just let things roll and not read into it at all for now. See where the conversation moves to next and see if she suggests anything!

Lots of exclamation points in her texts and excitement, just how she was on our first date.

Today she’s been a bit low on communicating but yesterday (day after our date) she was pretty talkative. I’m willing to put it down to being her being hungover today as I’m trying to trust people again!

Yesterday immediately after the date (midnight or so) she was the one to initiate conversation and thank me for having her around and say that she had lots of fun, etc. I suggested that we play a game together at some point and she sounded really keen, lots of exclamation points and was pretty emphatic about it.

I should say this is the second time I’ve met her (first was through a meet up group) and so we’ve been talking for a few weeks now and she’s kept a pretty high interest level from my point of view at least until today when I asked her out again.

I was supposed to take her out for dinner for the date but she suggested that she just came around instead which worked for me. At the very least I know she’s comfortable around me but yeah just a bit unsure how to handle it.

Finally indeed!

I thought it sounded like being brushed off too.

You’d think if she was interested she would suggest another time.

Bit weird because we’ve been talking a bunch both before and after but I haven’t really said much other than suggesting we play a game we both like and she kinda brushed that off too saying she was hungover.

Might just have to leave it.

Had a first date with a really lovely girl this weekend.

We both had fun and she made sure to tell me so and spoke about catching up again in the future a few times.

I waited a day to ask if she wanted to hang out next weekend and she says that she’s super busy that weekend, sorry. No suggestion of when she might be free or anything.

Am I reading too much into it thinking maybe she’s not interested? I just took what she said at face value and went with it but part of me wonders if she’s just not interested but wants to be polite.

Any suggestions? I don’t want to come across as needy or anything like that.

Reddit was better when it was just the tech heads using it.

The normies ruined it.

Yeah that seems like a fairly solid plan. I don’t “feel” sick really, maybe some extra funk in the nose.

Pre-pandemic I would’ve just gone to work for sure but I guess we live in a different age now.

If I’m still testing negative tomorrow I’ll go in the Tuesday.

Also thanks for the heads up on the RATs, annoying that I just bought 5 for $35!

18 degrees, I’m outside in a t-shirt!

This is all because we got a bullshit summer last summer.

I’m taking every minute of it I can outside!

Ah… thank you for the heads up.

Guess I’m WFH tomorrow.

Ha! Dodged COVID despite spending all day yesterday with someone who unknowingly had it.

It is fricking beautiful outside! Bring on summer!

Damn, this place really did replace the /r/melbourne DT thread, huh?

I take it it’s just for Android?

Great idea!

Figured out the Mlem app, thanks to whoever suggested it! Still getting to understand the fediverse but happy to be here!
