    Here's the thing, she suggested tonight, said she wasn't going to be busy, and to text her. I ended the phone convo with her thinking okay we'll meet up tuesday and didn't ever think it was a backdoor way to reject me.

    Of course, now I'm thinking that it was, either that or she has a legit reason for not responding for almost 3 hours now. I doubt I will call/text her again, just seems desperate to me. I think it's unlikely that my message got "lost" in her phone and she just missed it. If she responds I'll update.

    Truth.

    Although I still think it is possible you have a shot and were not totally rejected.

    yep there is no way that she forgot to look at her phone, in fact she's probably had like 100 text messages sent/received to different people already after I texted her once. And I know she got it since it was through iMessage and I see "delivered" on my phone.

    I think macalu is right

    You need to relish this moment. The experience and aftermath will never live up to the optimism and enthusiasm you're feeling right now. Even if it does, this will be where it all started.

    you keep going at it until she says yes, then you surprise her at the date.

    she's probably not interested.

    just whatever you do, don't be too persistent.

    LOL! Finally got a response, she says she is sick and is suggesting next week. Okay maybe that's a decent excuse (if it is one). I mean could explain why it took so long to respond (she was taking a nap).

    Meh, for some reason I'm still skeptical but lol we'll see.

    i don't like the idea that she told you to text her and you DID because it was almost as if you were an afterthought that she needed to be reminded of a date she made.

    that was probably some kind of test of hers. she made you look desperate even though you probably aren't. :(

    i still think you can recover from it though. just don't text her again. if she doesn't EVER text you back, then it might take a month or more. she hasn't forgotten about you, i doubt she is at hom laughing at you like a poor sap.

    you just kinda let her take control which is not good.

    did you respond to her yet????????

    please don't say yes.

    here's what you need to do, you need to balk on next week and say something like maybe in a couple of weeks or so. i'll have to find a time when i'm able to go out again. and give it a few weeks.

    Pretty much this, IMO. If she likes you then there will be no doubt that she'll respond. It all depends on how enthusiastic her response is, I guess. Even that can be iffy depending on what kind of girl she is.

    Text her, try to forget about it, and if she never responds then move on with your life.

    So, it took her hours to reply yet you probably replied the minute she texted you.
    If so, you failed on that part.

    Also, grow a ****ing pair.

    Have to quote this again for truth. I don't know how old you are, hence I don't know how old she is. But if she's between the ages of 16 and 26 no doubt about it she looks at her phone every two or three minutes. I'm pretty sure all of us under the age of 30 has gone through this before.

    she's stringing you along. she doesn't want to say no because she wants to be validated. you "accepting" her excuses makes it worse. don't ask her out next week. if she doesn't ask you about it in a week, she wasn't interested. if she does ask, tell her your busy and we'll try the following week.

    she's not stringing him along macalu. quit putting that CRAP in his head. :p

    this is what girls do. if you can't deal with it don't date. but i do agree to balk on next week's date. but leave the door open for a few weeks in the future.
