    Three days is nothing, considering you said to “hit me up when you are free”.

    I’m of the personal opinion that I don’t expect – or want – someone to be texting me too much after I’ve just met them. You’ve said yourself that you are impatient … I would give him time. Don’t pressure or overwhelm him. Things will work out as they should.

    Connie,

    I figured I just need some insights from a third-party point of view so I am not getting too disappointed if things don’t plan out as I wish they would.

    Buddhism has the Four Noble Truths where the Second is that the cause of suffering is clinging or having desire.  Another way of looking at it is having expectations.  I think there is a 12 Step saying that “Expectation is premeditated resentment.”

    You had one date. A lot of what you think you know about him is your projection.  It is exciting and nice to meet someone whom you feel comfortable with, excited about and have warm fuzzies about.  That is ideally what you want to experience in dating….And it is only one date.
