Hello everyone I (22M) recently went on a date with this girl (25F) last week and it went well, we had dinner and after that we went to a bowling alley and from there I took her home, walked her to her door, we hugged and she suggested we do this again. Prior to all this I met her through some friends at a get together and since then we texted here and there til one day I asked her if she wanted to go out.

Fast forward a week later from that day I feel myself getting attached already. I told my friends (a different set of people) that I feel myself getting attached and sprung already. I have her phone number and Snapchat. I hate the fact that I check her score if it goes up or not. I remind myself that this isn’t anything serious at the moment, she isn’t my girlfriend, nor is she obligated to text me back.

Earlier today we were texting for a little bit and she told me that she would take a nap and text me later. It’s been about 8 hours now and her Snapchat score has gone up by a few points. I dislike the fact that I’m doing this because it’s not good for me. I try to remind and reassure to myself that we aren’t exclusive, not serious and that she could’ve been busy with something or something serious may have happened so I shouldn’t be stressing this.

I have not texted her since cause I don’t want to come off as desperate or needy so I’m just waiting for a response from her end.

(If it also helps, before her I was in a short relationship that last 4 1/2 months and before that I was single for almost 5 years.)

Any advice to not get like this? She’s a sweet girl so I don’t want to ruin any possible chance with this girl.
