The Eng/Fr site was just something I had been doing while in the USA to work on my French, but I was specifically choosing girls in Lyon in my age bracket and got lucky to find an attractive "single" girl. I'm no longer using the site as I'm now in France.
I start 23 hours per week of intensive French language classes soon, and am also trying to play 20-25 hours of poker per week, go to a yoga studio here regularly, and will probably add a girl to the mix per week from Tinder/OKC, so my plate is plenty full.
In addition, in a month or 2, my French will be at a level which should make it way easier to attract French girls, b/c most are not as willing (or able) to date in English as some of their more northern Euro neighbours and my French is not quite at a level where it is possible for me to date solely in French.
We don't Skype anymore, it was only while I was living in the USA.

Seems like a recipe for being friend zoned or strung along as a potential landing spot. Now, if you're fine with ultimately just being friends that obv changes everything.
Being the overly available good guy isn't a bonus imo. You don't have to be a dick but setting your own terms is fine and indicative of confidence. The whole being in a diff country and that dynamic I'm not going to try to factor in.

I think it was important to send the message that I'm not just gonna be the new guy in the country who will wait around for her for months to do as she pleases. At least now she knows that I won't hesitate to cut ties, and she also knows that I've seen at least one other girl and have other options.

Going on a second date and not bringing it up can't hurt anyone.
Yah I plan to go on the 2nd date and not bring any of this up, and give her a bit of space to feel out how she'd like to proceed.
