I guess I'll take a shot at this as well. Let's start with taking apart your post a little bit:
Quote:
me- really, its ok, i like hard to get. im an excellent chaser.
end conversation..
Quote:
me- you could, if we ran away together.
me[again]- but im way too busy
and that was it.
It seems to me like she is being a little evasive whenever you come off a bit strong to her. Notice how she ends the conversation after you mention anything related to you and her being remotely together? You mention 'chasing' and she shys away. You mention 'running away together' and she runs away from the conversation. I like the fact that you are willing to say things like this and take risks. I like the way you use a funny "but im way to busy" style. In most cases, girls would enjoy this and flirt back, but let's think about why she is not. Is she recently single? Does she have another guy she is interested in? Now you on your part, when you speak to her in person, is your personality congruent with this - meaning in person, do you still come off and flirt as strongly or do you tone it down? Congruency is often something people don't keep, and this can throw off someone else's perspective of you. It send mixed signals and makes your intentions unclear.
As far as how to play it from here, I am going to tend to side a bit more with casthenova. I'm not going to go as far as to say "she isn't a good a person" or she is "immature", because let's face it, chasing in either direction
is a part of the game. It's just a natural instinct and doesn't mean she is being spiteful. Let's now take a look at what your next step is. Like casthenova said, I would take the path of leaving her alone for an extent. It seems that you always send the first text or make the first move to meet up aka visit her at work. Don't. You've done your job and it seems like you've made it know that you have interest. The last thing you want to do is start to smother her or pester her with texts that she may or may not respond to.
I would back off of her for a bit and see if she comes to you. I'm not saying to become a jerk toward her or 100% ignore her, I just wouldn't make the first move. If she texts you, wait a few hours before responding or even the next day. Don't come off as too eager and just sitting there waiting for her to text you. If she calls you, sure you can pick up but keep it short and too the point OR don't pick up and call her back later on. Unless you work at the same place at the mall, don't go and visit her anymore. If you run into her by chance, don't hesitate to talk to her for a bit, but keep it short, simple, to the point, and remember to keep it up beat and flirty.
Don't get too hung up on this girl either. Right now, you haven't invested too much time or resources into her so it will be easier to move on now than it will be later on. In her perspective, the same applies. She hasn't invested too much time into you nor has she invested very much in general, so don't take it personally if she finds it a bit easy to move on as well.
