I met this girl earlier this year at a party. Added her on facebook and turns out we have a few mutual friends. Got her number a few weeks ago and we've been texting back and forth about 1-2 times a week.

At this point, I'm usually the one who initiates but she always replies enthusiastically, asks me questions, etc. I normally end the convo after 6-8 texts each.

We've made plans to hang out a few times, but we've both flaked on each other. I figured that maybe I needed to work on more comfort via text so she gets comfortable with the idea of meeting up with me.

Anyway, as much as I enjoy texting this girl, I'm very aware to not text too much where I'll just turn into a 'text buddy' of hers that she never meets up with.

So basically my question is, what's the difference between pinging/comfort building via text and being just a text friendzone?

I would probably hold off texting her till i go out somewhere with some friends. Tell her to come out and hang out.... I would try to get away from making yourself look over interested and if you do hang out with her and have a good time texting from there on will be easy because you have more rapport.
