| Alright guys, here's some backround info on my situation:
I recently went to a concert with this girl who I discovered I'm just friends with, but we shamelessly flirt all the time and kino (but this is typical w/friends). Anyway, I have been texting her a lot lately and recently we made mad rapport through the sharing some long stories about how our summer's sucked and we totally connected on the fact that we are pessimistic, cynical people at heart who are really good at hiding it from people (cheery, ain't it?:lol: ) . Then on christmas night and we were texting, and I got on to the topic of how we need to hang out and party together (I was drunk, and I said this as a joke and she knew it was a joke b/c I know she doesn't like drinking and has never been drunk before) and she replied "Hang yes, drink no". I then brought up midnight bowling sometime next week and she was totally up for it. Then the next day I was just trying to keep our connection going since I won't see her for a week and a half (unless we go bowling or hang before then) and I sent her this text:
Soma: We're arguing and I need an outside opinion. Which movie is better, Superbad or Knocked Up?
My plan was to see if she has never seen any of these movies and say something like, "Wow I can't believe you haven't seen this movie. You have to come over and watch it right now or I will never be able to talk to you" or something along those lines. Well, she never responded which is totally weird because she always responds super quick within minutes. So a few hours later, I think three maybe four, I texted her this:
Soma: Wow, you're lucky my debating skills are awesome and I don't really need an outside opinion to win. But I forgive you...For now. So weather permitting we might go snowboarding tomorrow and you're coming. I won't take no for an answer.
Now she hasn't said anything since this, and its been two days now.
I know we're just friends and nothing is going to happen, but this is good practice, and I need to know if there are any glaring mistakes I may have made. I want to learn from this, and if there is anything I did that stands out, let me know ASAP. I can only think of maybe the wording of "We're arguing" which she might interpret as me and her. This is a huuuge stretch and all I can really derive at the moment. My guess is that either she lost her phone, didn't get the texts somehow, or is just plain ignoring me. Her ignoring me doesn't make sense because, well, we just totally connected.
I don't want to reestablish contact the wrong way and give her all of the power (my second text was an attempt to regain the upper hand with some C/F humor). I don't want to seem needy or like I'm desperately trying to hang out with her. I was thinking of asking her to come to the mall with me in a few days so she can help me pick out some new clothes with all of the gift cards/money I got for x-mas. What is the best way to do this and what do you guys think of this pickle? Is it even a pickle, lol? I appreciate anyone who actually read all of this and any input whatsoever is beneficial.
~Thanks in advance!
