So I started chatting up a girl on Facebook/ friend of a friend and got her number, we arranged to meet and she would txt nonstop/ appeared extremely interested before we met. Anyways the date went OK, overall I would give it a 6/10. Nothing awkward about it, conversation was good, I had her laughing a great deal. I know I wasn't at the peak of my game and it was the first real "date" I've been on since breaking up with my long term g/f a couple months ago. Before that I was a major afc/beta or whatever you guys call it, so It this was very well my first real attempt at stepping up to the plate. I could very well have appeared way more uncomfortable than I thought but who knows.
I know I lacked in the physical escalation department but I have so little experience that I choked big time here. I also felt like I was swinging out of my league because she was a solid 8 and hotter than I had anticipated and I've only dated/slept with 6-7s. I managed to give her a hug at the end of the date but that was about it. Anyways the next morning I sent a txt saying I had a good time and teased her a little, she responded right away and still does whenever I txt her. The interest and enthusiasm she was showing just doesn't seem to be there anymore though, and she will not initiate contact anymore.
The scenario that I keep playing in my head is when we were sitting on her couch with a small space between us which to me may as well have been a million miles... I just couldn't close this distance and touch her for the life of me. I think this may have been the kiss of death. In my mind she had positioned herself too far purposely if that makes any sense?
Anyways guys I'm really depressed, I did my research beforehand thought I was ready and now I struck out with a solid girl. Maybe I was just uglier than in my pics, or too short for her?

I sent a txt and she said she can chat later...5 hours later nothing... i'll cut contact maybe for a while and ask to meet again next week? Worth a shot or just delete her number?
