I’m 50/50 but prob need more context with how he acted during the date/too soon to tell. If he was love bombing they tend to text a ton too. He could also just not be a texter and prefer in person interactions. Personally I love texting, so that would bother me. Or, do you think he would use this as an excuse to not give you the attention/energy to maintain the relationship in the future but keeping you around by trying to keep you satisfied through only these dates?

Hard to say depending on how he acted he could have been using this as a way to get you just where he wants you or could just not be a texter.

He could have genuine interest and think he needs to show it based on that formula of “things women like on a date.” Hard to tell without being there. The most reliable option in this one is to go with your gut if you felt strange or not into it.

i don’t feel strange but he was saying all the right words.. like ALL the right words which to me means something is being covered up but idk could be wrong or my anxiety

he kinda slipped up and admitted to love bombing, as for texting not much just a good morning then i don’t hear anything, he told me upfront that he is looking for love which is great #metoo but it also seems like he’s trying to create a fast emotional connection with out creating the connection like saying the right words it kinda sounded like a manual, he is slight older with more experience which is okay but i don’t want to like you based on what your showing me i wanna like you based on you

now this was a 1st date and very early on but giving other context i’m understanding but im still hopeful? in a sense, maybe he just doesn’t text fr, but i asked him how he day was and he didn’t answer my question he just replied with “good morning pretty beautiful woman i want to go on a date with” again i could be wrong and thinking too much into it but

Honestly I wouldn’t worry about think too much into it. If you’re worried and concerned about some of these behaviors early on it can be telling. You’ll likely still be worried about this stuff later on. Personally with my ex I ignored some of the stuff that bothered me a little early on from our 1st and 2nd date and it later caused issues. With the texting, everyone is different but my ex would also do that where he would selecting answer questions and it really pissed me off. If he’s….

Already not answering a simple how are you to me that shows a lack of communication skills esp if something came up that was bothering you and you wanted to discuss. But my vote is saying go with your gut. If you want to go on a second date and see how that goes totally valid, but if this stuff makes you want to end it here also valid
