hey guys great advice I agree with all of you on some level I really appreciate it!
I guess i never considered it needy because we have only hung out about 6 times in this 2 month span but we do talk every day so I am taking a step back. Today she never really tried to keep the convo going so I just never answered, sure enough i get home and i have a text saying how was your night?
i waited a bit and responded, then she never responded again haha...game is on i guess.

Good news and bad news.
The bad news is that this is pretty terrible. Sorry mate about the directness.
The good news, is you can do something about it.
First off, your behaving in a very normal way. Which is good cause it shows your normal, but you're probably going to get a very normal response from girls. That means that if you're decent looking, decently smart, not too weird in any specific way, your gonna get the girl one in a while. Other times she'll just treat you as a friend, other times you might get rejected.
What you want, is to be special. You want to stand out and be that cool guy.
Everything you've done so far hasn't been too strange, or too weird. But you're definately not suprising her. You're not being that guy who always get what he wants.
Few things you need to start doing
1) Lead
You don't lead anything. You rely on her. For assurance, to make plans, etc ... Make a plan and tell her "hey i'm kinda busy tomorrow, but friday lets go out. I really wanna see this <insert whatever you wanna do>. Don't need to be a jerk or some super alpha male. Just be a man with a clue. Who knows what he wants to some extent.
2) Stop being so Reactive
When she couldn't go for your birthday or whatever. I don't care what it was. Stop emotionally making her feel bad for it or whatever.
If she's a really good friend, than sure, if you feel hurt let her know. In fact, for some girls that I like, I would be able to get away with doing that too, and you might too. But as a general rule, you got to be less affected and reactive. And being super reactive to a girl who you are just in the early stages of starting some sort of romance, is a BIG NO NO. It signals all kinds of bad shit to the girl that you need to avoid.
thanks dude i think your advice is bang on... some things i left out are these 2 months have been me taking the lead telling her what we are doing or where we are going or saying i want to play some basketball today its nice out want to join?things like that and she has accepted them in the past... its just recently i wanted to make her show a little effort. Since i am a trainer in the gym i think i definitely come off as confident, i have status, i am always talking with other people and she sees that.She added me on social media after i started talking with her and then I messaged her... she was the one to give me her number so I know she is very interested it's just a matter of getting her out to escalate things. i am always busy doing things and things she likes as well! so i am just confused why she doesnt want to try harder to be a part of that? i feel like i am doing alot of the right things here, besides the emotional reaction about the party of course which i realize was a mistake now.. just hard to let it go at the time.
