I had a great first date with a guy about two weeks ago. I was surprised that he didn't ask me out again and didn't call. I saw him on Saturday, and he seemed really happy to see me. He gave me a big hug, asked how I'd been, and introduced me to the people he was with. So what gives? Do you think he's interested? Should I make the move and e-mail him or something, or was he just being nice to avoid confrontation?

The harsh truth is that he would act happy to see anyone - that's being civilized.
It's good manners to introduce company to each other, but that doesn't mean anything else.
If he didn't attempt to have another date with you, maybe he didn't feel what you felt.
I hope I'm wrong.
You can email him if you like, but keep it friendly and casual, just in case.
1I think I am going to have to agree with what annbaby has said...
2I would send him an email, but be very casual. Dont ask why he hasnt called, dont sound like you've been sitting around thinking about it for 2 weeks. But if after that he still makes no attempt to contact you, I would say start looking elsewhere.
3It's the typical case of.....wait for it....... He's just not that into you!!!!!
4off topic, but the girl in that picture looks like Kendra from the girls next door.
5I don't know. really. but I think you should send him an email and just invite him for coffee or something nothing like a date just to hang out or whatever you know? And then you will see if he is interested or not. But I mean if he haven't contacted you before...maybe he is not interested. But I guess you will see if you guys meet up..
6Don't email him. It gives off a desperate vibe. If he wanted to take you out again, he would've. And he also has your number so...he just doesn't like you like that. It was two weeks ago, let it go!
7I agree with annbaby and rockandrepublic.
Don't contact him.
8Yeah i'm going with the other girls on this one, Don't contact him at all!
I do believe he's into you, but like other people WHOM DATE MORE THEN ONE PERSON AT A TIME, he's taking his time.
This is what I tell other women I talk to. If you date one guy at a time, then you'll be caught up on him. You'll get into situations like this.
9Agree with Annbaby.
10If he is any kind of person at all, of course he will act happy to see you. If nothing else, to be polite. Especially if others are present.
The fact that he didnt call and didnt ask you out again is the part that speaks volumes to me. Doesnt sound like he is interested. Sorry, doll. Move on.
I think that he was just being a nice guy. It is polite to say hello to someone you know when you run into them, it is polite to introduce someone you know to people you are hanging out with. I think the fact that he was man enough to do that tells you he is a good guy.
Even though you had a fantastic first date, it sounds like he is not interested. If he were interested he would have called you and he would have made a second date.
Even though you had a great time, I think it's time to accept this for what it is - just a great first date. You went out, met someone interesting, had a great time. So what if it doesn't turn into anything more? I'm assuming you had fun, and that's what dating is all about.
11Maybe he didn't feel sparks...that's no reason to treat you like dirt. He's sounds like a genuinely good guy, but dont obsess about WHY he hasnt called you. Give the guy a break.
And I agree with almostfamous....don't get caught up on just this ONE guy. there's MANY to chose from.
12have to agree with Hotstuff! when will women get that?
13Ugh, the Sugar people edited my question (a.k.a. added words that I didn't write) so now I need to clarify - I am dating other guys and I'm not "obsessing" or "caught up" on him. Just wondered if I'd missed something.
Also, that pic looks nothing like me! Makes it look like I'm all depressed and moping around about this. SO not the case.
14No, he's not interested. The guy has social skills, but he's not really interested in you.
Do not call him. Do not e-mail him. Leave him alone.
15Lol. Yeah, unfortunately, he's not very interested. If he were, he'd be jumping at the chance to call you.
16I've been in this situation before. I've had fun going out on a casual date with a guy, meeting his friends, and then after that, I didn't hear from him again. He was a friend of a friend. Over the next few years, I'd see him on and off and each time we met up again, we reconnected by going out once and that was it. He was into me, but not enough to make some serious, or even continuous casual commitments.
This guy sounds the same way. He's just not ready, so if you're looking for something more serious, find it elsewhere.
17if you ran into him, had a positive interaction, and he still didn't use that opportunity to call you, i don't think it's happening. sorry!
18Yeah, agree with most everyone else here, let it go and move on. If he's not giving you the attention you deserve, why should you bother with him? Some other guy will come along who'll really want to be with you, so just keep looking.
19Don't email him! you know what your email will say?
"Hi,
i'm sending you this email because you haven't called, and i'm REALLY into you. I even wore my sexy little black dress. I wasn't high maint', and I actually know where Darfur is. I did good by not sleeping with you . . .wait, was that why you haven't called, because I was a prude??? I spend all of my free time hoping you will call, and i even leave my ringer on my cell phone on at work just in case you call. I bought a new dress for our next date, that is if you call me for one. I hope we can hit it off. please give me a second chance. i'm really a nice girl.
Best,
Please CALL ME!!! I don't have any other prospects!"
you will look like a total nut-bucket.
20Wow, Asia, that was the worst advice ever. Perhaps you should read comment #14.
21That wasn't advice on her part. Just how your potential email would read to him.
22Thank you RockandRepublic.
Back by popular demand, and for those of you who missed it the first time,
my advice was;
don't come off as a desperado. he can't call you, then you can't email him!
date a few guys for fun; ugly, fat,bald, missing a thumb . . . this way you get out of the house. you get a free meal, and maybe out of all those guys, you will find your Prince.
but if you invision skippin' through the daisies with every guy you have a great date with, you're gonna always contemplate sending a "remember me" email.
23opps . .that was envision, not invision. i guess having a degree doesn't mean your spell check is always on. heh hehehehe
24RockandRepublic said it perfectly. Asia84, your email made me laugh, that's exactly what he'll read, no matter what she writes.
There are too many other guys out there to be worried about one tool who doesn't ask you out for a second date.
25This is straight out of the first chapter of "He's just not that into you".
26Agree with RockandRepublic....He is not that into you...As Opraph W. said: "If the guys wants a woman nothing keeps him away...when the guy does not want a woman...nothing makes him stay"..I have been there and I know the difference..trust me..save your heart for someone who will call you...There is only two situation a guy can not call....he is either dead or injured..sorry...amybe too harsh but it is a truth...
27Hope is helps...
