Not posted here before but hope you guys can give me a bit of advice...

Met this HB9.5 in a shop a couple of weeks back. She's works there I direct approached her and number closed within a couple of minutes. We went out Thursday. Took her to a bar for some drinks. She was shy at first. Bounced to another venue for dinner. She loosened up. After dinner bounced for more drinks where K-closed. Walked her home as I don't normally attempt F-close until the second date. leave them wanting more.

Friday a couple of texts saying last night was fun. Saturday text to see if she wants to do something Sunday night. She can't but suggesting meeting that evening. I told I've got plans early evening but could meet later. We go out. Tones of kino. A few different venues. K-close. She almost comes back to my house but has work in the morning and bails last minute. I think I might have got a bit needy at this point to try to get her to come back.

Sunday a couple of jokey texts between us. Monday I make a massive error and text saying 'it would be nice to see her again in the week'. I came off needy. AFC I know. She says she's busy all week but maybe at the weekend. I tell her I'm out of town at the weekend but I will get in touch.

Now to calibrate for the neediness do you reckon I should not text her until I'm back in town next week or do I need to keep a bit of communication going this week? Thoughts are appreciated.

Not gonna change your life here, but here's what I think:

if you start texting her, you'll sound needy.

Let her think you're gone for the weekend, I would invite her to dinner/date on FRIDAY, say around 3 pm, invite her to dinner/drunks "before you leave"
and don't just invite, offer. Don't sound needy, just say:

"Hey, let's have drinks on friday night before I leave for the weekend."

This gives her a sense of time-constraint, as well as being direct about.

my thought process behind this is:

Don't let her go cold, keep her warm, and try to close on the 3rd date.
