I would definitely look favorably upon a woman who thanked me for the date. It doesn't matter whether it's immediately after the date, or the next day. To a mature man with common sense, that wouldn't spell desperation at all.

I would never email a guy a "thank you" for a date. You thank him when you say goodbye. thats enough. as far as anything else inbetween i would seriously wonder if he did not initiate communication. i wouldnt do it.

just out of curiosity did you contact him first?

I disagree-there is nothing wrong with emailing or texting someone to thank them again for a date. It is polite, and it will probably give them the courage to ask you for a 2nd. Everyone thanks the guy for a date at the end of the date. That's common courtesy. It doesn't mean that you liked them-but reiterating the thank you does show interest and what's wrong with that? That's not desperation-its common sense.

Every situation is different, so no real blanket statement applies. i think its important that the woman i've met thanks me PRIOR to driving away from the first date. i certainly dont take anything negative if the woman thanks me again via email after a day or two, which happens MOST of the time. as far as the chase thing goes, it would be nice if it ended with the first date. why does it need to continually go on? if both parties are interested, then cut the bullshxx and just talk/communicate as frequently as you both like. case in point was the woman i am now with. is there anything 'official' yet?? nope. but its early. all i know is, the goodbye kiss we had at the end of the first date was a makeout session, so there was never any doubt on either of our parts as to the interest level. but that being the extreme case, i certainly have had other first dates where it was just as apparent that there was no 'chemistry' there, and we agreed on such, and that was that. i hate all the pretense and 'chasing'. you like the person, talk to them. everyday phone calls and texts are fine with me if i'm truly interested in who you are..............

ok.I get it. Let him do more of the chasing....
NOOOOO!!!! Don't fall in to the 'drop the hanky' trap. You'll still be standing around ten years later waiting for Prince Charming to swoop by and pick it up, while all the real men are taken.
