I have not dated in a long time, so this will be interesting. My old rules, which I think I would live by today if I were single, was I prefer not to kiss on the first date. I go on a second date only if the first one went well (excluding anything really odd happening that was out of everyones control). You might get sex by the third date if I am really connecting with you, but not likely, more likely it will take a little longer. I would send a text to say I had a great time following the date. I don’t like to play games. It has to feel natural for me to be interested. I might call, he might call, I don’t want to feel like I have to figure out whether to play hard to get or any of that mess. Most of my dating life either it clicked and almost off the bat we were seeing each other and talking to each other a lot, or it fizzled out fast. Maybe it is different when you are older? I was married at the age of 25.
