~What is the time between....

IMO if you like the person, let them know right away, if you don't like the person, it should be even sooner. Better not to leave a bad date up in the air,if your parting of the ways will be permanent, sometimes it's just better to say something right then and there.

Usually later the same day I will thank them and let them know I enjoyed the evening. This puts the ball in their court. They may not be interested and may respond in kind, a non-committal blah, blah, then you go from there. If there were no sparks on your end and it appears there were on his, then you can tell him that he was a nice person but....

If sparks did fly on your end, I would still give the other person an opportunity for feedback before making any comment one way or the other unless there had been an extraordinary amount of communication before the first meet and you feel like you know him well. Courtesy and common sense should prevail.

If I was to say to him at the end of a date 'Well, do you like me? Will you call me or shall I call you - when?'
I agree, however that is off-topic to the thread topic.

Chasing a man is very unfeminine.
That's your opinion and this point is certainly debatable. Many men find a woman comfortable with her feminity enough to express her desires a "feminine" quality.

Then go away at the end of the date and think about each other. I give my indication during the date as to whether I like him or not, he picks up on these signs and hints, I pick up on his signs and hints, then he has my number if he wants to get to know me better!
The "hints" often don't work. Or people typically use "hints" as a weak method of non-communication. Good communication skills are key in a successful relationship. Not good "hinting" skills.

four days is about right
That's crazy. If I have something pertinent to say, I'm going to say it, not wait four days. I don't see the strategy here.

Time and time again women are disappointed and despondent that budding relationships barely fail to leave the ground because they push the man into going out with them, or invite him to have sex to gain affection, languages become confused and in that sort of relationship the men usually behave badly.
I could make irrelevant arguments here too: Man is disappointed because he misinterprets a woman's fuzzy signals; doesn't know a woman he is getting involved with is seeing other guys, possibly having sex with them; if he shows sexual interest that's all he's interested in; if he doesn't show sexual interest he isn't masculine; then gets involved with a woman who views sex as some sort of "reward" to "give" to a guy instead of a natural relationship progression.

To steer this thread back on topic, here's the thread topic again:

After the first meeting/date, when is it considered appropriate to communicate with them again. Even just to say thanks, but I just wasn't feeling the love....or maybe even the opposite.
As soon as it is relevant to relate that sentiment.
