I've been dating this girl over the past 2 months and last Friday I took her on a legit date. I say legit because the other times we have hung out we have just gone to the movies, hiking, or hung out at my house and last friday I took her to dinner, the roller rink, and even got her flowers. The date went great, she said she had a great time. On the long ride back I told her she didn't have to sit so far away (you know what I mean;) ) so I drive a ford taurus and she sat in the middle right next to me leaning up against me with my right arm over her and my left arm driving. We kissed a bunch throughout the whole date and then when i came back and parked we just sat for a while and made out a little bit here and there. I then took my right arm and reached into the back seat and pulled out purple flowers (her favorite color) and put them in her lap. It was actually quite smooth. Anyway we made out a little bit more, I told her she was a bad kisser (jokingly) she said i was bad kisser. We just sat and made out a little bit more. I then told her I had to get going cause i had work the next morning early. She stayed a little bit longer which was fine but I eventually said to her "ok get out of my car" jokingly of course. As I driving away i yelled out my window goodnight.
I figured everything was in the bag she but then i started having issues this week with phone game.
Here are our communications since the date on friday.
Friday night( The power was off at her houe when i dropped her off.):
Me: ha the powers off at my house too.
Her: I'm still sitting in my car charging my phone haha
Sat Morning:
(we work at the same place so we talk bout work a decent amount)
Me: So i called out this morning lol many factors were involved in my decision.
Her: many factors?
Me: My alarm didn't go off so i was running late, its 420 and i have a dub in my room somewhere, its a really nice day, and my dad made pancakes this morning lol
A couple hours later I went to my car and found out she left a small empty bag in my car.
Me: You left a small blue bag thingy in my car....
Her: o hold on to it for me
Then i decide to wait to talk to her for a while. While reading the next set of texts keep in mind we have just talked on the phone before and about a week ago she asked me how i was and when i didnt respond for an hour she called me and we just talked for a bit.
Sunday Night:
Me: Amanda.
Her: Hi
Me: I'm going to call you when I get home.
Her: I may be sleeping lol
I didn't respond and called her when I got home at 10:52
She texted me back immediately
Her: I'm trying to sleep lol
Me: Your awake now anyway

Her: Lol what do you want boy.
Me: Lol girl I want to talk to you.
She didn't text me back so I called her again a couple minutes later (heh) she didn't answer lol
Anyway here is where I'm getting flustered. I decide not to text her on Monday and text her again Tuesday afternoon.
Me: What are you up to cutie

Her: Werkkk
Me: What sort of trouble are you causing there?
Her: None lol
Me: Sounds lame, we should get into some later

Her: Nah lol
Me: Haha good one, don't tell me your just going to bed, that would be totally uninteresting
Her: I'm studying for state board exams
Me: Ha those don't even count I think I drew a picture on my scantron when do you have to take them.
Her: April 8th written April 20th practical
Me: thats ages away
Her: This test is serious.
Me: for cosmotology?
Her: Yes
Me: Your clever I'm sure you'll ace it. I've got to see you this week though. when.
And she never responded. I saw her on facebook an hour later so I know she didn't go to bed.
I felt like I was half a step away from GFing this girl last friday now I feel like I'm 2 steps back. Normally I would just back off for a bit and wait for her to text me but she set up a Open Mic at a local theatre this friday and i wanted to go see her play (She is amazing, Wife material she puts on shows at a local theatre), I was going to go with friends.
I don't want to just show up though cause A. She didn't invite me( only over facebook and that invited hundreds of people, and B. I don't want to seem like i'm trying too hard.
Am I overreacting? What would be my next steps? There is a girl at work I could ask out that I know would say yes and Amanda would definitely find out but I feel like we are at the point in dating where I would come off as scummy doing that. Also It's my birthday on Saturday and god damit I want a kiss on my birthday, no she does not know its my birthday, how do i slip that in without seeming like i'm coming up with excuses to see her
