the following text exchange happened last saturday

me: just saw the cutest little squirrel in the park gathering nuts and it made me think of you

hb7: Hahaha. Oh my gosh. Aww, so i look like a squirrel now, huh? Haha. =P

me: Yeah but don't get ur hopes too high, i heard penguins are becoming more of the in-thing nowadays =P

hb: Haha. Too bad. Well, thanks if you were making it appear i was cute. =P

me: What did i say about not getting ur hopes up too high? Haha just kidding. You are cute but i know a lot of cute girls. What makes you more than meets the eye?

hb: Haha. Fine. A lot of things, actually. =))

me: such as?

then no reply.

today (tuesday), i wana text her again, but how should i open? i was thinking "hey you just popped into my head and i thought i'd say hi... now stay out of there" but my direct/natural friend says just "hey".

second question, what made her not reply? not that it bothers me, but is it bec. no atttraction or simply a shit test?

thanks
