Well, after taking a break from dating for nearly 1.5 years, (I focused on myself, trying to do a lot of self-improvement work.) I just got back into the dating field.

I met a guy I really like ever since my last relationship. We had a first date at a bar and talked a lot. In the beginning, I didn’t have any expectations. When he asked me out, I was even thinking “ok, let me just finish the drink and head home soon.” But it turned out that I really felt he fell into my ideal-relationship-type-of-guy category.

During our first date, I could feel he liked me, too. His body was leaning towards to me, lots of eye contacts and laughter, exchange of relationship goals, and he offered a second drink. He asked me if he was someone I expected and I responded with a YES. Eventually, he had to go and catch dinner with his friends which he planned already. We hugged good-bye and he gave me a light kiss on my cheek.

Before he left, we talked about things that we wanted to do together. So I got home and texted him that it was nice meeting him and I would like to hang out with him again soon. He then responded that he’s happy to meet up next week (which is this week). I texted back “just hit me up when you are free.”

I haven’t heard from him since. I could feel he’s an outgoing person and prolly has lots of things on his plate. But it’s been three days and I have started losing my patience and getting paranoid wondering things like: maybe that kiss didn’t mean anything? maybe he’s just not that into me, etc.

I have learned from my past experience that I am a very impatient person especially when it comes to dating. I try to relax and not hold any of my hopes up. But it’s been so hard to get him out of my head. I am consistently thinking about him and it gives me warm fuzzies!

I am not sure why I am making this post. I figured I just need some insights from a third-party point of view so I am not getting too disappointed if things don’t plan out as I wish they would.

Thanks for reading this and I welcome any comments.
