Second date went for a walk in the park and k-closed at the end. After the date, say 5 hours, she contacted me with two texts and said I should come to the beach with her the next day.

I told her I worked today and couldn't, but asked when the following two days she was available as I had more free time. She never responded back (it's been slightly over 24 hours).

What I would normally do now is if she texts me tomorrow, wait a day to respond like she did. If not, I will see her this weekend (we work together). Am I on point here?

Sounds like she is just playing hard to get?

texting is about toying with their emotions a little bit. I try to send messages that could have 2 meanings. When she contacts you, that's usually good. women don't usually contact men unless the woman has lower value. when she asked about the beach you could of said "i'm busy with work most of the day, when did you have in mind" and try to work with the response. It's a 2 part sentence that puts her off, and also invites her in.

No point "value" gaining or anything. I don't believe in "Text game" to convey value. Largely pretty stupid. Too much bullshit involved with "Time between messages" "nonresponsiveness" etc. I don't play these text games, and not sure why any sane man would. I keep texting to a fucking minimum.

If she can't live with that, then I move on, and it has happened very extremely few times. I hardly text the girls I'm fucking. PUAs are shocked by that but I don't believe in "text game" After sex, to me, the game is over.

So I assume I should wait until she texts me, then text her eventually, but how soon is too soon? She tried to make plans with me, I was busy, and she never responded to my asking if she was free another day.

The next time you go out text her. Invite her along. Don't mention any of this "you didn't reply" stuff. If she texts back, good. If not, move on.

It has been 48 hours and she has not said anything. So what I think I will do is let tomorrow go by (the second of my "free" days I mentioned to her) and if I hear nothing, just wait until I see her at work Saturday.

We both close so maybe I'll steal her to my place after work? It will be a funny scenario because after the k-close we were both busy during the week, and I'll see her at work.

As long as there is no downside to letting the lines stay cold...?

tr@vler had a good point. it's been my experience that it's not good to bring up the past, relating to missed texts. I think you can text her now. sometimes, something as simple as "what are you up to today" is effective after a day of silence

I totally get what you guys are saying. You bring it up, and it encourages the game like scenario.

You wait awhile, show your busy/not desperate, and she will bite. After all, I didn't ask to make plans when I last texted her, I just asked her what time she was available on the days I had off.

I mean, the whole reason she probably didn't respond was because I turned down her invitation and she didn't want to seem overeager/available.

Women always encourage each other to stay away from this behavior

Why don't you just text her and say "Hey lets hang out Friday, I don't have anything going on and I would love to spend the day with you!"

wait for a response

no need to play games....you know what you want so take it and if she turns you down (which I don't think she will) then move on....if she already had plans then say "ok saturday" and if she still says she has plans then ditch her until she contact you.

Remember you are the prize! if she really wants you she will make it happen!

OK gents, UPDATE.

When I was sleeping (I slept in LATE) she said she was in my area, what am I doing, and has some time. I got back to her an hour and a half later, saying that we should get together after we both get out of work this weekend. I then texted her once more poking fun at her.

So far she has not responded to the text. So this is TWICE she has tried to make plans with me, I havn't been available, then when I put the counter offer out there she either does not respond (I assume to kinda show she isn't at my beck and call) OR she tries to make plans the day OF.

It seems like she has genuine interest, but wants to save face?

If she does not respond until I work with her, and she asks me to hang out, should I turn down a short notice invitation (because she didn't agree to plans ahead of time?)
