When someone doesn’t respond — that’s a response. It’s just not the response you wanted. 😉 I do not recommend that you press him for clarity — you already have it. My advice is to lay back and let him come to you. You already invited him to get together for a fourth date, after he pursued you for the first three. If he’s interested, he’ll contact you. If he isn’t, then you’ve had three dates and you get to move on.
I recommend the following time line for dating: Use the first three months of dating to figure out if you want to continue dating someone. If you both do, use the second three months of dating to decide if you want to be monogamous. You should assume up until then, that he’s playing the field. And he should assume the same. What this does is allow you to really get to know each other without pressing a premature commitment. The truth is yo’ve had three dates in three weeks. It sounds like you both had a good time — but at this point, it could easily go either way depending on what you’ve learned about each other and what the competition is like.
I know that this means that dating is less certain than you’d like it to be, but accepting the reality of it is going to lead to a lot less anxiety, than hoping it’s one way and realizing it’s another.
Hope that helps!
