“I really had a great time. I will definitely try to visit [event]. Why don’t we team up?”

what to say after first date

You liked this guy but not ready for a relationship and you don’t want to ghost him also. Weird, right? Instead what you can do is leave breadcrumbs.

What it means is that you will still continue dating him, but only via text, leaving breadcrumbs showing your interest and keep him hanging and begging for more.

Him: “Hey I really enjoyed last night. When can we meet again?”

You: “I’m really busy with work this week. I would like to meet again soon. BTW how are you?”

You are not giving him the attention that he is hungry for. Breadcrumbing is just giving excuses and not really committing until you are ready. (Thought I suggest you not to fall into this category.)

You Already Feel Like Marrying Him, But Don’t Want To Put Yourself In A Weird Way

You feel like you have found your soulmate and want to spend the rest of your life with him, but you also don’t want to freak him out.

It is not uncommon to feel like you have met your partner-for-life in just one date, but also you can’t let him know what you are feeling as you have known each other only for an hour or so.

But honestly such connections are really rare and you need to be really sure about your feelings. So the best way to let him know is by telling that he is unlike any other man that you have ever met. And he will surely respond to that.

“Hey, I had an awesome time last night. You are very different of all the guys I went out with. Can we go out again?”
