Thank you for your response

I try not to wear my heart on my sleeve. He did say on the second date that he liked me. And on the 3rd date whilst we was watching a movie he got a call from his mum.

I wasn’t intentionally listening in but I heard her ask him what he’s been up to and he said “just been watching movies with insert my name ”

When I heard that he said my name to his Mum it kind of made me feel a little more comforted that I might not just be a bit of fun , as I can’t see him telling his 60+ year old Mum about a girl if it was just a fling if that makes sense?

My guard is very high around my heart but I know it gets broken down eventually and I’m Cautious of letting that happen if it won’t be reciprocated . It’s been a long time since I have been in a relationship and it’s taken a lot of effort to find someone I’m remotely interested in.

All 3 dates have been from 7pm to the next morning so they aren’t a few hours I guess

And he has always been the one to ask for another date I have never made the first move. It’s been over week now since Iv seen him I’m just kind of waiting for him to say he wants to see me again. I feel like maybe i should initiate the next one but I’m cautious about pushing it and rushing it if he’s not looking to see me anytime soon?

I am worried of coming across as clingy or rushing things as that’s the last thing I want to do

I just feel so new to this and I don’t really know the signs to look out for and if this is how it usually goes you know? Some of my friends have poked at me saying if they liked a girl they would want to see her way more often than this. But of course everyone is different
