Hey ladies!

Longtime lurker, first time poster here!

I [f25] just recently have gotten into the ideas about dating that this sub holds after reading the book It's Just a Fucking Date after my sister reccomended it to me. Long story short, it blew my mind. Made me realize so many unhealthy dating habits that i had. So now i'm trying very hard to implement their strategies and pull my shit together. XD

Here's my problem. IT'S HARD. On Tuesday, I had an amazing date with a guy from OLD. We matched and he asked me out right away. The date was honestly really great. We bonded over a lot of pop culture stuff like a very obscure podcast we both listen to and a ton of books in common (shoutout to Roxanne Gay). At the end of the date he said he really wanted to see me again and i agreed that I'd love to go on a second date. Shared a great kiss while we waited for my cab and texted each other that we had gotten home safe and re-expressed how much we both enjoyed the date and he said again that he wants to see me again. I said absolutely and that i was usually free on weekends.

since then, radio silence. i know its only been about 36 hours but i want SO BADLY to text him first. and i can hear Greg and Amiira from It's Just a Fucking Date telling me to absolutely not. And i want to listen to them but i keep trying to find the loophole so i can text him.

So how do I stay out of my head until he (hopefully) texts? Give me your mantras and routines and tips and tricks! Save a girl from herself!
