Block and delete if a man after date doest text you back ?

I prefer for a man to text the night of the date, saying he had a great time with me, hopes I got home safe, and he wants to plan another date. If he texts the next day, that’s fine too. If he waits two or more days, I assume I was a backup option and he ended up with more free evenings than he expected after plans with other women fell through.

Yeahh I'd probably assume he wasn't interested enough if he had to wait a few days to ask to see me again. You're probably not his first/only option, and a man who is truly interested in you would never leave you doubting that, even after just one date.

If I had a good time, I will follow the date with a nice thank you text, and tell him I enjoyed the date. If he doesn’t reply in a reasonable amount of time, I write him off/block.

If I didn’t like him, I let him know right after the date, so he can move on. If he was gross/bad, I just block him.

What I’m saying is, that I usually text first after the date, as a courtesy, and because I am The Decider.

I think waiting a few days is fine. A text immediately after leaving a date is basically just performative and fake. He can say the words "thank you" to your face. It takes a little while to decide for real whether or not you've had a nice time.

Texting is just another thing everyone has weaponized. Anything said via text is by default not important.

Adding: Why do you want this man to text you so bad immediately after one date? You need to be the one deciding whether or not you WANT to be hearing from him again. Slow down and take your time to decide. That's the point of dating.

He would only get worse and if this bothered you he would have repeated it. You don't need an unresponsive partner who thinks he has options elsewhere when it's probably just because he watches 🌽 still

Well in this day and age, a man doesn’t even know he should remove his hat in establishments/people’s home anymore haha. Chivalry and being a gentlemen is rare. So he probably doesn’t even know this coupled with “playing waiting games” and/or not trying to seem desperate”. It’s always a good sign when a man is genuine and you feel it. He reaches back out and shows he wants to see you again and SOON. The next day is a good test , I can’t lie sometimes the night of I need some time to re-cap and decide if even I want to see him again. If it’s mutual, I expect him to reach out soon. DAYS/weeks later are early signs of inconsistenty and should not be akwnoledged.
