So this girl and I were kicking it off really well for like 2 weeks (in college). We go to a small school, so we see each other quite often. Anyways, somewhere along my text game I think I fucked up, but I don't know what went wrong. She is not a flaker (she always texts back immediately and has never flaked on me). Any critique would be helpful.

This is the point where things went sour for a while:

Me: Working hard or hardly working?
HB: Working hard in a different sense. I'm designing someone's dorm.
Me: What do you thinkg of the white wall design? I worked very hard on that one.
HB: Could use some work.
Me: I'm artistically challenged though. Could use some help.
HB: Hmmmm orly (*)
Me:I don't trust you though. So I may just stick with the white paint for a while.
HB: WOW.

*For some reason, I though that this text came across as me procuring sex from her, as in, "wanna come over to my room and help my 'decorate'?" Then the following text was me trying to release that tension, which she calls me out on. Point to note that this is NOT what I meant. I was actually just trying to mirror her last text (rapport build). We aren't that close yet into comfort to phase shift (yes, I'm running solid game on her).

That was just a segment of our overall convos, but after that I could sense things getting a bit cold. I texted her over the weekend and it felt forced, very little attraction going on. We haven't spoke in a couple of days (I was out of town).

She's an HB9. Very self-confident, if a bit conceited. High-maintenance. She really liked me for the first 2 weeks, then I feel like it just dropped. The thing is, I don't know if it's her or me. It's totally possible that I'm making this up for no good reason, which is what my friends all tell me.

I usually don't think this much into any one girl. I'm not afraid to lose her or anything (I have 3 other girls available), but I'm confused as hell.

Question: Should I pursue? If I fail, it would be awkward encounters for the next couple of years. If so, what would the next step be?

Don't talk to her a lot unless you have a reason to. The point of your conversation was confusing. What were you accomplishing? Comfort? I saw no sexual tension in that whatsoever

lol whats awkward is you spent all this time talking to a girl about paint... like adam said you need to GO somewhere with your txts, otherwise they're worthless

How would you establish comfort over text? I mean, not necessarily in this situation, but is there an overall structure? I didn't want to escalate because honestly I don't think that would've been appropriate for this girl. I didn't want to risk it because this isn't cold approach game here, it's college with 2000 people. Should I try to meet up and establish a sexual frame so I can escalate later? Right now any sexual escalation seems early.

thoughts?
