    I'm just looking for a bit of advice really as I don't want to make a fool of myself. I'm a single mom the last 3 year and haven't really dated in that time so I'm not sure how it all goes.

    I met a guy fortnight ago out, approached me in the bar with a chat up line, and he was pretty keen stayed by my side for the night. At the end of the night had a kiss and exchanged numbers. We texted a bit next day he said he'd love to go for a drink sometime I said cool, he asked me a day or two later and I was busy, weekend came & we were both free so I suggested it and we went for a drink. I really enjoyed thought we clicked and he text me afterwards to say he had a good time too.

    Thing is he texts like once a day, for example he'll text how has your day been, Ill reply and ask him how his was and get no reply until 24 hours later. This has been the pattern since the beginning so it didn't change after the date or anything.I'm not needy and I'm really not into that all day texting carry on but an answer to how his day is would be nice.

    He hasn't asked me out again. I feel it's kind of his turn since I suggested the last date but maybe that's just juvenille. Should I just ask him if he wants to get together again sometime? Or is all this a sign that he is just not that into me?

    He's quite good looking, and he was very confident in approaching me that first night so I'm thinking I'm might be one of many, probably loses track of who he needs to reply to.

    If you like him, go for it. If he doesn't want to go out anymore, he'll either say no or not respond. But there's no point playing games and figuring out 'turns' to text or ask each other out.

    I think if he was keen on you he would have asked you out again by now and there would definitely be a reply to the texts asking how his day was.

    Maybe just say look, I enjoyed going out with you the other evening and would be up for doing it again if you are?

    Just ask.

    If he's not interested then hey ho, you had a good time anyway and getting chatted up in a bar by a good looking man shows you're obviously a bit of a ride :D lol so it's a nice confidence boost!
