How can I proceed a bit slower, but not rush any further after meeting someone via Facebook dating?

Yes, I met up with one of the guys I met through Facebook dating. We talked about trains and some animals. He was the first person to let me know he couldn't make the meeting on 17 January but rearranged it for 15 January. He got there before me. I was a bit late and I did tell him. Texting on my phone. That was last Sunday. What do you think about this? Either a good sign or not? I enjoyed my time. by the way he is single since I asked him while texting. Would you like to take it a bit slower this time? When I rushed into relationships, they didn't work out, but some guys became toxic and others were ex-boyfriends. I'm a bit interested in the guy that we met at mark &spencer spencers. This is why i don't like talking to a group of people. Possibly there will be more drama than there was in previous friendships and relationships. That's what I've experienced with some guys and girls.

It sounds like your first date went well @Splatmate24 Taking things slow can be a good thing, and having open communication is important.

It sounds like you are not sure what you are looking for and that is only exacerbated by sometimes receiving texts quickly and other times not.
Am I hearing this right @Splatmate24? Please feel free to clarify if not or if I'm missing something.
The fact he has paid attention to detail sounds positive. Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything we can do to support you thoughCommunity Volunteer Adviser with professional knowledge of education, special educational needs and disabilities and EHCP's. Pronouns: She/her.
