This is something that I have been working on lately. I've had some luck on Tinder and POF, gotten a few numbers, went on a date last weekend (which was...., a different story), but I am still trying to judge the whole "text" game.
My question is; Short replies or no replies, shes not interested. Well I had talked to this girl briefly the other day for about 5 messages, before I said heres my number, shoot me a text. Low behold, she sent me a text about an hour later saying "hey its xxxx". I respond casually, hey hows it going, small talk, but got short replies. I finally said screw it and asked her if she wanted to get a drink later after she got off work, but no reply now? Is it better for me to give short questions and replies back?
I am not going to message her back and leave the ball in her court, but I guess I want to make sure I handle things more tactfully going forward.

Short replies meaning "not interested" isn't always the case... you really have to judge things based on the circumstance. Some girls are bad texters and just give short replies... and if that's the case, all her replies are going to look like disinterest.
Get to know your target a bit so you can gauge reactions more effectively.
For your specific question. Don't follow up... But rather give it a couple days, then hit her up again - pretend the first date request never happened... If she ignores you again then you've got your answer.
Understandable. I am starting to think that maybe I jumped the gun a little too quick when I asked her if she wanted to grab a drink after work, since we had only moved the conversation from Tinder to text in the morning. Almost coming off as too eager, without expanding on the conversation more to get to know her.
Like you stated, I don't think I knew her enough to make the proper call, so now I feel like the chance has likely gone down the chute. However, I will give it a couple days and give it another whirl.
Thank you for your input, much appreciated! I feel like I am starting at square one since it's been 6 years since I've had to date, so I'm learning what to do and what not to pretty quickly.
