    After an emotionally draining 18 month relationship my ex and I called it quits. I was devasted after the break up but decided to get on with things.. I started going out more, met loads of new people, went on holidays etc

    Then through mutual friends I met a guy that I liked and he asked me out we went on a date last Friday night, We had a great time and I believed we clicked really well! During the date he asked could we meet again and I agreed, we looked at our schedules and agreed to go out this coming Friday, we exchanged a text on Saturday lunchtime just saying hi etc, but i haven’t heard anything since from him, i don’t want to txt him again but i do really want to see him, i m a little confused .. whats the protocol here, surely if he wasn’t interested he wouldn’t have suggested the 2nd date but then maybe he was only trying to pacify me! Also if he texts Friday morning to confirm am i suppose to be ok with this??

    I don’t want to ask our mutual friends because it may cause an awkwardness and there will be events that we will be at together in the future ( Christenings, engagement parties, weddings etc)

    Any advise welcome!!

    You've only been on one date, so you need to play it cool.

    Leave it with him. If he genuinely wants to meet you again, he will get in touch before Friday to make an arrangement.

    Do not ask mutual friends! What would you ask them anyway?!

    You SERIOUSLY need to cool the jets here. You've been out with this guy once, you've had just one date! If he even gets a sniff that you're this eager it will potentially be very off-putting. He has asked you out again so he will either be in touch closer to the time to arrange details of he won't. It really is that simple, he either meant it and wants to see you again or was merely paying lip service. Don't ruin this for yourself before it has even begun and don't go over-analysing to mutual friends either. See if he gets in touch again, if he does he does and if he doesn't then it's no big deal, you've only been on ONE date.

    If he texts Friday morning to confirm, then yes you should meet him as it was already discussed that you would meet then.

    Relax OP, it's only been one date, sometimes people go weeks before a second date. The fact that it was already arranged on date 1 is a good sign IMO.
