Greetings from Denmark!
I've followed this thread for a long time, and it has given me a lot of valuable tips on text gaming, but now I have a problem of my own that requires help - so here goes:
I met this girl at a local bar about a week ago. She's kinda in my social circle, meaning that we've got quite a lot of friends in common, but we did not know each other personally. Last friday she came up to me while I was talking to one of our mutual friends, and we got into conversation and had a lot of fun. We ended up dancing, but at the end of the night she disappeared and I went home.
She had told me to find her on facebook, and so I did. I got her phone number without problems and started texting her. In the beginning everything was going well. I used a lot of call-back humor from the night we met, while also getting to know her better.
But suddenly the conversation died out, even though I tried to bring in new and interesting topics. She didn't answer me, so I decided to wait a day and text again. She answered, but very shortly, and she did not seem very interested. So I decided to stop texting her and deleted her number.
This saturday evening she suddenly texted me, asking me if I planned to go out. I played it a little formal and told her maybe, and she seemed very excited to see me again. I ended up going out with a couple of friends, and she came to the bar where I was to see me. Unfortunately, she had to leave almost immediately, so I couldn't close her, but we did text back and forth while she was on her way home.
Yesterday I texted her again, and conversation was fine. She invested as much as me, but it didn't seem to escalate, and the conversation was a bit static. This is where I need help. She seems kind of reserved, and I'm not really getting that closer to her, and I was hoping to get some help on how to move conversation to the next level and set up a day two. So here's a sample of last nights texting, translated from danish:
ME: Did you get home safe last night?

HER: Yes, I did

How about you?
ME: Yes, but very late! So I'm looking forward to going home and relax tonight.

HER: You haven't been home yet?
ME: Yeah, but I had to get up early to look at an apartment. So now I've got a date with my duvet.
HER: Was the apartment nice? I've longed for my bed as well!
...
ME: I feel like watching a good movie. Can you recommend one?

HER: I can recommend handball on TV2 (danish TV-channel)

But The Butterfly Effect is a pretty good movie.
ME: I had forgotten! Are you into handball?

HER: It's exciting

I've played myself.
ME: I think so too

Why don't you play anymore?
HER: Haven't got the time

And I like running better.
ME: Were you any good?

I run a bit as well - I should do it more often.
HER: Hm, after 7 years of practice I should be able to play okay.
HER: Yeah, I should run more often too

ME: I hope so

I suck at handball, so I stick to soccer. Are you training for anything special?

HER: Soccer is great too

I'm planning to run the Copenhagen Marathon. My training programme begins tomorrow, so I've got 20 weeks.

ME: Cool! How did you get that idea?
HER: Because I've done it before

ME: Awesome! Then you can - almost - outrun me

HER: I'm not at my best now, but I will be

ME: If you need me to drive behind you and cheer for you while training, just say the word

HER: Haha, like that would help, but thanks

ME: I'm pretty good at it! How fast did you ran your last marathon?

HER: It wasn't a marathon, but 58,5 km on 6 hours - and a half-marathon on 2 hours.

ME: That's quite good. I suppose you have a goal for this years marathon.

HER: Yeah, or maybe

Depends on how my training goes. But I'm off to bed - goodnight.

ME: Goodnight. Sweet dreams.
I hope the sample isn't too long. As you can see, I have no problem making conversation through text, but I'm having trouble taking it to the next level and get her to commit to a day two. I hope you can give me some advice on what to do next, and what I could have done different.
Thanks in advance.
