Gentle way of asking for feedback after the first casual date?
I've met someone online, and after a few very pleasant exchanges we decided to go on a casual date, which I also quite enjoyed. Ever since that moment, our online exchanges started dying down. As of now I'm uncertain whether that other person did not enjoy our time together as much as I did and wants to severe ties, or we both did enjoy it, but are afraid the other party didn't like it. I'm very bad at reading social cues, so if there was some nonverbal communication, I've completely missed it. I've been thinking of just asking something along the lines of "Hey I liked that time we spend together, wanna hang out some more?", but I'm afraid that would be putting too much pressure on the other person in case they don't want to do that. Is there a gentler/better way to ask for feedback than with this straightforward question? P.S. Ideally, though perhaps unrealistically, I'd like to pitch the question in a way that would allow me to ask for details if the answer is "no". "You've been texting someone all the time", "You've been interrupting me while picking your nose" or "I don't trust people who eat potato chips with chopsticks" would be some invaluable feedback upon which I could improve in the future.
