Hey Reddit.
So, I have been single for around 2 years, and have been dating a few girls and also had a few one nights here and there. I am a M(25) and I can't say I get a lot of girls, but I also don't have any problems getting matches on dating apps, so I would say something in between. Back in my home country in Europe, once I got to the stage asking some one for a date, it usually went really good after that, I really haven't had a bad dating experience, some lead to a few more dates and some lead to sex etc. To conclude, the girls I have met seemed to like my personality, which helped me gain confidence, as I am a guy with pretty bad confidence in general.
I recently moved to the US to a much bigger city than I previously lived in, so I figured dating would be a lot different here. Never the less, I met a girl on a dating app, we texted for a few days back and forth, she seemed genuine and caring, and like a really nice person. We met, had a coffee for a couple of hours and talked about different stuff. It was never stiff or awkward, she seemed a bit nervous in the beginning (like me) but after a while it seemed like we both could relax and talk freely. I got her number in the end of the date (we talked through the dating app and Insta before) and the next day I texted her and thanked for the date and said that I really enjoyed it. She replied with ''Hey, yeah! It was nice seeing you, thanks for the coffee''.
I waited for a few hours and then suggested another date, and said it would be really nice seeing her again. I however did not get a reply, and it has gone a couple of days since. I am a bit confused as I thought the date went well and I haven't really been pushy or something like that. I am also a bit unused to being ghosted AFTER a date, I usually get ghosted on dating apps(figured that is normal in 2023) before agreeing on a date. We also talked a bit on ghosting during the date, and she said she thinks it is weird and that you could at least come up with an excuse if you can't or do not want to see the person.
I figured it might be better to just leave it, but I have played the date in my head a few times trying to pinpoint what I might have done wrong, and I now feel insecure about going on more dates here in the US because I feel like I am different and weird being from a foreign country.
Should I wait a few more days and text something back? Not like ''Helloooo?'' but something else. And if yes, what should I text?
Thanks.
