Dating after divorce?

I went on my true first date lastnight since my divorce. I think it went really well. Good, non stop conversation, a few laughs and so on. We only met for an hour and a half, drove seperate.... I asked her if she was free this Saturday night and if she were, would she like to go to dinner. She hesitated and said she would have to look and see if she has plans, baby sitter and the like. Not sure I was too convinced of her reply. I mean she had to anticipate that she would be asked that right? So whats the plan for that? Do I text her to follow up? And if so, when?

Also, on a funny note, as I walked her to her car, I asked her if I could have her number. She said sure. I got my phone out of my pocket and openned up my contacts, squinted my eyes at her and asked " what's your name again?" Totally playing around. She answered me as if I was not kidding. I told her that I was only kidding. Wow that one back fired on me.

So, do I pester her daily, what until Thursday? I've been out of this game so long.

And yes, before you answer Braveheart, I know this belongs in dating but I feel I have put my time in on the Divorce section.............

    ok, so heres what i would do if i was you.....i would just wait until she contacts you. The ball is in her court witht he second invitation. So she should text you maybe thursday or friday with "hey..." and whatever follows after that. If she doesnt then who cares! Your single now! :) Trust me, you'll look more attractive if you show you have a "oh hey..sup?" type of attitude instead of asking "soooo..is that a yes?" LOL coming from a girl. Once you find a woman that you've had a few dates with i think it'll come second nature as to "do i invite her" "should i text her?" because it'll just happen naturally! Good luck! OH! And that was a funny joke! A man that isnt boring is sexy! =) If she didnt get the joke then shes lame :\ LOL

    Good for you bro. Getting back out there can be pretty tricky. Wait a couple of days and call her. You know how it is with kids. I have to double check my schedule daily lol. It would be better for her to wait and make sure she's free than for her to tell you yes and then have to cancel. Sounds like a great first date though. Good luck!

    First of all, dont text a woman. There is no good reason to do this when it comes to dating. Second, if you like her, let her know. Why play games? If you like her, and you ask her out again, and she says "no" - then move on. Its not going to kill you. Why all the game playing just to avoid a little rejection?

    I say call her & just see how her day was. Dont ask her out unless the conversation leads to it. If she likes you, you will know it. Good luck!
