| | Texting someone on vacationPage 1 of 1 | Met someone online a few weeks ago, met up a couple of time and we got on really well. Probably the best match I've come across in the last few years. However, I think we're both a bit cautious about things moving too quickly. I did send a few texts after the first meet. Talking about it on the second date, I said I'd save the texts for arranging times, places etc. She went away on vacation with her grown up daughter for a week, and we agreed to arrange something when she'd got back.
Although I don't want to pester, it's been over a week since we last talked and although I've resisted the urge, I wondered about sending a text just to show I'm thinking of her. Not sure if a phone call is possible as I'm not sure how good the reception is where she is, plus I'd rather not put her in an awkward situation if she's with her daughter.
What do people think, should I send a quick message, or wait until after she got back? | |

Think you have your answer there....don't you?
I think you should wait....after all....what's a few days?
If you've heard nothing after 3/4 days after she is due to return....then maybe send a quick, friendly text....see where it goes from there...
Good luck.. | |

One text would be sweet. Ten a day would be nutz. Go with the flow. Send her one and see if she replies and what she says. She might actually enjoy one text a day. To me that isnt over the top. Just something like "Hey just wanted you to know I was thinking about ya and hope you have a great day!".
Go for it ace

When I'm on vacation, especially with family, I tend to leave my phone alone for days, perhaps glancing at it once a day or less, so don't think anything if she doesn't respond or waits until she gets back. I'd send a text. | |

Posted: 7/10/2012 2:11:52 PM | Yeah I was just going to say I don't pay much attention to my phone when I'm on vacation. That's what vacations are for.
I'd wait until she got back, then ask her for a date with a definite, decisive plan.
I've been corresponding with a man who recently went on vacation. I didn't think much about it until I realized that he was home from vacation for about a week and had not contacted me yet. I almost (almost) figured that was that and I wouldnt hear from him again.
I made one attempt at contact before I wrote it off as another one of those things. Well, I am glad I did because his response was to immediately set a time and place for us to meet. I don't know if he was busy, if he forgot, or if he just needed some encouragement and I really don't care.
Wait for her to get home and then contact her with a decisive plan. Then you'll know for sure. | |

That's IT. Then all you can do is wait, but for goodness sake, don't sit around and fret about her replying. Get on with your life as you normally would! | |

Posted: 7/10/2012 3:27:26 PM | | I think one "thinking of you text" is totally fine. I had just started talking to someone [went out once at tat point] when I went on vacation last year, and it really put a smile on my face when I got a text from him just saying he hoped I was having a good time and was looking forward to hanging out again when I got back. | |

No contradiction as far as I can see. I think there's a difference between moving too quick and wondering how someone was enjoying their break (it's been a bit wet with the weather where she is). But I'm prepared to be corrected which is why I posted.
I'm not saying I don't want to wait 6-7 days, I can (not sure about 2 weeks). Just wondering about whether or not to send a short message asking "Hi, how are you, hope the weather's OK?" or words to that effect.
I just thought I'd see what the general opinion is, sleep on it, and then decide. | |
