writes:Say you go on a date and want to maintain a friendship with the person. What is a nice, short sweet message to send, expressing the following:You'd love to stay in touch as friends, without it seeming like you want more (you only see them platonically) and without seeming condescending or presumptuous, but say they haven't messaged you since date. Say you had chemistry but want to make it clear that you see it more as a friendship. Reply to this Question

Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A

No OP, there isn't. It's a rejection no matter how sweetly you put it.
If you really want to be her friend then treat her lunch and have a chat about it. I mean you want a friendship don't you? Then just go hang out. If not then at least she got a free lunch.

So I would answer the one that summarizes your concern.
what is a nice short message to send after a date for friendship?
Honestly, None. You don't have to send any message. because it will just send a mix signal to the other party.
if you don't see any spark more than friendship thing then just don't send a message. Women, most times, misinterpret every little thing. No message means, I don't see us more than friends.
But if there's chemistry or say you want more than friendship, send her a message. I enjoy your company i hope to see you again.
Hope this helps you.

 First of don't use the world LOVE in a "I only want to be friends" message.
Second of all, I would NOT text a person and tell them that I enjoyed their company, but I feel like we'd work out as friends not as a couple.
I would CALL that person and let them know. Give them a choice. If they see us as more, then they MIGHT NOT want to be my "friend". If they feel the same way, then yay!
