Finally met a guy i was talking to online. We had a good date and he seemed to be interested. We had drinks and i had too many, but was okay. Just made out with him which is a first date no. Next morning i got an email saying it was great meeting me and he had a great time. Is he just being nice or is he sincere?


My answer:

Never a good idea to drink too much and then make out, but is this the end of the world as you know it?

Nah, if he really felt put-off, he would just have disappeared into cyberspace without contacting you again.

He did however, contact you after the faithful first date. What should you do now? Reply to his message and thank him for the lovely date and great time you had.

After that? In my opinion: wait. He should make the next move by making contact or even asking you out again. If he doesn't, let it go. If he does make contact, act normal and when there is a right moment, tell him that you feel a bit uncomfortable about the other night since that was not you're usual behavior.

Don't make a big deal about it, keep the conversation light and humorous, but make sure that he gets the message that you are a "good" girl who doesn't dish herself out after a few drinks.

You are still in the position where you can do damage control and set a healthier path for the next round. I hope it goes well!
