Hey guys been sort of seeing this girl for a month or so now but Im having a bit of a problem setting up a one on one date up to now it's just been bars and clubs with all our friends, I think she's shy or something, and is also trying to play hard to get I think
I have no doubts she's interested (she's asked me to her prom, to which I said I'll give her my answer when she comes on a date with me and asks me sober) were always making out and stuff and her 2 best friends love me which is always a good thing haha
So anyway last Saturday we were at a club(both of us sober for first time) everything was great and when we were leaving I told her I was gonna txt her the next day to ask her out somewhere during the week (she was visibly excited when i said this) and kissed her goodbye and hugged her friends goodbye
Next day I texted her late that evening after work:
Me:im free for the next 3 days which of them suits you for me to take you out?

x
Her: hey

I can't tomorrow because it's my moms birthday so were all going out for dinner but I'll let you know tomorrow if tues or wed suits k?

x (obv playing hard to get keeping me waiting for an answer)
Me:cool I'll tty then x
She didn't txt me the next day, but texted me the day after
Her:hey what's up? Do much today?

x
Me:(whatever I did,made it sound awesome) what bout you? X
Her:(whatever she did) btw I can't come out tomorrow because blah blah but maybe Thursday?

x
Me:eh ye I'd say I can do thurs, would have to be quite late though after I finish work x
Her: ok cool I'll text you tomorrow and let you know if I can

(more small talk for a bit about if I'm going out on the weekend and she's going out Friday blah blah) x
She didn't txt me the next day so when I finished work I texted if we were on for tonight and she said she "can't her sis asked her to look after her kids

sorry xxx"
I didn't bother replying and just went out with friends. I wanna ask her out for tonight but if I do I have a feeling that looks needy
Should I just not text her until she texts me? Or because I didnt reply to her last text is it ok to text her first and ask her out after some flirty crap? I really like this girl but she's either shy, playing hard to get, or both
Advice? And sorry for the long post
