Not sure how to go about this guy

Yeah definitely will let him take the lead now. I was just, worried he'd thought I had lost interest - as much as I was sat there thinking 'hmm he hasn't text' I was thinking, what if he's doing the same thing. Anyway, he knows I'd like to see him again, and on the face of it he seems to want to... but yeah, definitely up to him now.

Yeah it shouldn't feel like hard work, but, it does sadly. It's not 'natural' there's no sort of natural flow to it, when I message him I feel like I'm a nuisance.

I think he definitely knows you're interested, so there should be no worry about that now

I know what you mean. My dating experience is fairly limited compared to some, but unless the first date was a complete disaster I always go for a second date, some of the nerves have subsided a little by then and you see a little bit more of the real person. You have only been on one date after all. If the conversation between dates still doesn't flow after a second date, then I'd be thinking about calling it a day. I do think you definitely find out a lot more about someone and whether you are actually both interested in each other after a second date IMO.
