Need some help with this girl...

Some quick backstory first. Started talking to this girl on POF. I messaged her first. We exchanged about 8-10 total messages. After about 4-5 messages I asked for her number. She didn't acknowledge that part of the message though. About another 3-4 messages later she gave it to me without asking. This was over the course of about five days, (from first message to number). I sent her a text two days after she messaged me her number.

My first text was Sunday night around 9pm, 'Hey this is ______ from POF'. She responded one minute later with, 'Hi'. I responded about five minutes later with a question regarding something we were talking about on POF. I haven't heard from her yet. Yes it hasn't even been 12 hours... maybe she fell asleep, maybe her phone died or maybe she died. Kidding... but the point is there's any number of reasonable explanations.

For what it's worth, she was fairly quick to respond on POF to all my messages. But because I have one-itis and insecurities, my mind automatically assumes she ignored the text. Then I question what I did or didn't do. What I could have done differently. Did I wait too long to text her. Maybe she didn't get the last text. Maybe I didn't get her next text... etc. (Which yes it's unlikely, but occasionally I do have problems sending/receiving texts.) I go back and forth over something so stupid. I also have the mindset, 'If I'm not constantly texting/talking to a girl she isn't thinking about me and will forget about me.'

So I ask myself, what to do next? She's a minimum HB8. To make it more complicated. She's the girl who gets a ton of attention from guys, and I get the feeling she isn't the type of girl to text first because she's constantly getting chased. I also get the feeling she likes to play games and play hard to get. I am generally interested in this girl.

So what is my next move?

eahm...you do realize you haven't met this girl irl, just opened her on a dating website.
Go out, meet real women, these girls on dating site just want some attention and a soft escape from their current lives.

Hit the streets, appraoch women and than come back with wahtever questions you might have
Who know, you might be a natural and get lucky within the first times you even try.


One thing you do is 'over analyzing', in fact don't analyze at all.
This will take time and effort though to get rid off this 'analyzing' curse.

She's not into you. Accept this.

You will never be able to get every girl.

Now I know what you're thinking - but why did she give me her number, then? The answer is: Who cares? Some girls are nuts. Some are especially nuts. The likely reason is she's talking to 40 other guys on POF, and the other 39 did better than "Hey this is ______ from POF"

But the bottom line is: it doesn't matter why.

Just forget her, start gaming others.

Continuing to follow up is needy.

She has your number if she's interested.
