<human>: My last relationship lasted six years, so I've never really dated anyone as an adult. It's always just been high school romance that drug on for far too long. I spent a year as a single lady getting to know myself and I feel confident about putting myself out there again. I've joined a dating site, but who would have known I'd find a catch in my back yard. :) I really dig this guy who I met last Friday, but I'm a bit rusty when it comes to dating.

So, I grabbed the bull by the horns and asked for his number (which took a lot of guts for me). We went out to dinner last night, but I don't really know what comes next. He's really shy and so am I. My more experianced friend says that I have to be the one to persue him because of this and I'm beginning to think I'm not as confident as I once thought. Are there rules to texting after a date?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I hit it off with this dude, but I am clueless when it comes to dating/socializing. Any advice is appreciated!
