I met a girl at the bar saturday night. I opened them by saying, "nice necklace". Well some crazy lady let her friend wear it because she said it had magical powers.And boom, right there the convo flowed. I got in with the hot girl, and her friends. The hot girl would be an 8. So eventually the convo went towards her trying to hook me up with the bartender, and I tried to hook her up with some other guy. Of cose we were just playing, and soon she scooted over and let me sit next to her. I pulled off some real good BL, and I could tell by her face she was deeply in to me. I was just in so much good state, and she kept me on my toes. Well, later on we all get up, and move to another bar to eat. They order food, and I have her put her number in my phone, and tell her to call. Her friend asks if me and her are gonna go on a date, and I say well thats the plan. They tell me a story about how she met this guy a few times, and they finally went on a date and he asked to marry her. He whipped out the ring which cost a few Gs. So then we talk about goin on a date, and what music I like. I tell her we are gonna go to an opra show. She said I like that and agreed.
Things are going very smoothly, and we eventually kiss when her friends leave for a bit to go to the bathroom. They come back, and they all get ready to leave. I wait with them for a cab, and I kiss her one last time. I texted her the next day to see what she is doing. She texts me a few hours later saying they are leaving back home. Now she lives in tampa which is only 20 mins away. She also said in her text they are planning a trip back and we should meet up. I texted her again saying "you mean a date," with a smiley face. I never got a response, then today I sent her a text," try reading this without thinking about me". Still no response.

Now, a few factors I am thinking of, she is 27, and I am 22 she felt a lil weird about that but her friends thought it was whatever and edged her on.

That guy who whipped out a ring on the first date. Maybe she wants some time to go by, and then I should try and call her, also on that maybe I should call her and not text her. I think its more direct and more emotional.

I should have pulled back saying I don't want you to be one of those girls, who just wants a 1 night thing.( When I was going to kiss her)

Maybe actually future pace a lil bit more.

Now the good part is I am friends with her friends on facebook, and they love me. I am not yet friends with her though. I am thinking I can just try and keep in touch with her friends, and try to work on that to get to her.

I am thinking that if I don't call her, then all that emotional buildup will just go away, so when I do call her a weak later she will feel nothing towards me.

How do you guys think I can go about this to save it.

the ball is in her court. sounds to me like you did everything right. there was nothing wrong with the texts you sent. as of right now, you don't look like an idiot. if you call her or text her again and initiate first, you will start to come off as desperate and clingy. she is an hb8, so she's going to be a little bit of a game player. you know that, i know that. i would just back off. you two really hit it off, you offered a second date, she seemed to accept, but hasn't responded to two texts. again, the ball is in her court now. just chill. that's my advice. don't overthink it. and for the love of god, don't contact her again, twice without her contacting you is borderline...
