    Whats the consensus here?

    Had a nice date last nite, liked the girl. When is too soon to email? Should I email after work to see how she got on in work after (we were out fairly late) or leave it a couple days? Like I dont have her number just her email address so it would be a biggish thing like, not just a flaky message or anything

    Any time between 15 minutes and seven years, three months.

    Do what you want to do. If she really likes you, an email is hardly going to make her run for the hills.

    Just mail her. Say you enjoyed the date, and ask her how she's doing.

    Why wait?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Email her from the jacks during the date.

    Something pithy like PUT OUT BY THIRD DATE OR DUMPSVILLE

    Would you not just text her?

    Just think about what you will put the e-mail subject as.

    Awkward.

    I'd say to not look too keen. Just do it, OP. You obviously want to.

    When they think the guy is a stalker and don't want to give out their number.


    I'm only kidding, OP.

    Email her and ask how work was etc then leave your number at the end of the email asking her to give you a txt later because you wont have access to your email.

    Agreed - attach a picture of your fully erect throbbing cock as well though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,418 ✭✭✭✭hondasam


    wait for her to email you first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 174 ✭✭VenusPlays


    Email her now if you want to

    If she enjoyed the date and wants to see you again, she'll be delighted.

    If not she'll think you're a wierd stalker.

    Either way you'll know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,843 ✭✭✭CountingCrows


    Like I dont have her number just her email address

    Why do you like not having her number, isn't that a bad thing?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,927 ✭✭✭COYW


    Would you not just text her?

    He doesn't have her number. Mail her OP, what have you got to lose? If she doesn't mail you back, you know where you stand. One email isn't going to make or break anything.

    Agreed - attach a picture of your fully erect throbbing cock as well though.

    Didn't work out too well for that guy Weiner, did it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41 Warm Panda Cola


    Email her now!! Ye obviously hit it off, particularly if ye stayed out late, and she wasn't legging it at the first opportunity, in fact she's probably staring at her email account now wondering why you haven't! Why don't you have her number though?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,746 ✭✭✭✭Misticles


    If you have to ask you shouldn't be dating :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,843 ✭✭✭CountingCrows


    OP - what were the parting words last night?

    Email.....I love how close we are becoming as a society.

    9.27 am:

    I had a lovely date last night.

    Reply, 10.46am:

    I did as well, thank you for dinner.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,927 ✭✭✭COYW

    She probably didn't want to give him her number in case he calls when she is with her hubby. Sticking to the email makes cheating easier.

    I agree.

    Actually, wait for her to e-mail you a number of times. Ignore each e-mail, she'll want you more. It adds mystery.

    After she sends her third or fourth e-mail, begging you to contact her, reply. Suggested content - either 1. short and disinterested or 2. you could complete a long e-mail. If going with option 2, follow these guidelines:

    1. Spend the whole e-mail talking about yourself, your mates, what you have been doing, how many other women have been checking you out. She'll feel lucky you're spending this time on her, and not those other women. You may also imply some interest in those women, it adds mystery.
    2. Never, ever ask her how her day is. This e-mail is ALL about you.
    3. If you have to acknowledge her, make sure it's to comment on her appearance. Positive (I loved your rack) and negative (I am seriously considering riding you, and am willing to ignore your massive (insert body part here).
    4. Refer to her by another name. She'll desperately want to know who this other woman is, and again it adds mystery.

    Ah you can't email her, thats far too forward.

    Send her a fax instead.

    E-mail her a link to this thread. It'll show her how much you're thinking about her since last night!

    Jhah, funny replies there guys. A mate in work set it up, so thats why I've only email and no number, and possibly the "she could be married" thing mentioned above. I didnt ask her her number I suppose cause I felt a bit goofy or whatever. We left it on good terms, she was saying "We should meet again", sure she would say that anyway.

    I think Ill go ahead and send a mail. Its a bit of a dr pepper, whats the worst that could happen.
