    I never understood this waiting two days business. The complaints single women share with my wife are about men not pursuing enough, not stalkers who call too much.

    But, I'm married; maybe it is appropriate for skanks you don't ever intend to marry, I don't know. If she doesn't fall into that category, go ahead and text her now. But, you'll need to switch to phone conversations eventually and stop hiding behind the texting.

    Donkey,

    I see where you are coming from in the days thing but unless he knows that this girl really likes him, I would take it conservatively. I know that can come across as "playing games" but you have to do that sometimes in the beginning. If the chemistry is there, then that goes away (the game playing) thankfully.

    I do agree with you on the fact that he needs to call her whenever he does decide to ask her for another date. Texting doesn't seem like the appropriate forum to do that but I guess I am old-fashioned on that aspect of it.

    As long as you don't listen to Manny, you should be fine. Don't worry about playing games or anything like that, call her tonight and just see what she's doing. Ask her small details about her day. Don't act like you want anything from her, just see how she responds to your questions and then tell her your plans for Friday. Ask if she wants to come with based on her interest in the conversation. If you lack perception you have no place in the dating world, find a quiet girl off the internet and be content. Then ask her repeatedly what time she wants you to pick her up. If all else fails, just keep saying this:

    Do you wanna pick me up?
    Do you wanna pick me up?
    Do you wanna pick me up?

    How old is she? This is important. The younger she is, the more she will want to play games and waiting a couple days is a must. If she is over 25 or 26 years old, she will be more mature and will be more open to honest interest in her and waiting is not really needed. However, stalking like behavior is never needed.

    Also, have a reason to call her. As in a specfic request for another date with a day and time in mind.

    You take yourself out of the game, you start talking about puppy dogs and ice cream and it's going to end up on the friendship tip.

    If you liked her, call her up today. Say you had a good time and would like to get together sometime soon.

    People overcomplicate relationships. I always found the direct approach was the most effective.

    I would call her today to say you had a great time and you should get together again some time soon. That will give her a chance to give you feed back. If she sounds enthusiastic about that, invite her to something that shows you do have a life (you do have a life, don't you?). You'll know if things aren't going well if she tells you she's going to be really busy in the near future but things will probably clear off her schedule in a couple weeks or years.

    the whole waiting a few days only applies to skanks you meet at the bar... if you're already texting all the time and go out and have a good time, why in god's name would you just stop texting for a few days? send her the "had a great time" text later tonight and see how she responds. if it's positive tell her you're going out w friends saturday night and you'd love for her to come with. not rocket science.

    people tend to overcomplicate relationships.

    How long you can wait is directly proportional to how interested in you she was during the date.

    No kidding. If you like her and she likes you, talk to her.

    The only cool thing I ever came up with is telling the girl she has to call me for the second date. Think about it.

    I would call (not text) her tomorrow. Let her know that you had a good time. See how she reacts. If she reciprocates, then see if she'd like to see a movie this weekend.

    Make sure you let us know how it turns out.

    We old guys are rooting for you.

    When I was single, this worked 100 out of 100 times.

    Text her. Tell her that you won gift card for Victoria's Secret then ask her what size of bra she wears...

    this works everytime.
