Hey everyone,

I'll try to keep this simple. I went out with a pretty girl I met on Facebook. We went to an outdoor festival and spent two hours talking, sharing laughs, and wandering around antique shops and art displays. It was fun. We had some chemistry. I like her, and after the date she definitely indicated she liked me. It was only a 2 hour date since she had to get running to work. We hugged and she took off for work.

But I texted her after that I had a great time and thought she was fun. She said the same back to me and that she thought "we're compatible". She is moving south for school in a few months and my career might bring me down to the same area as her. I told her this and after the date she texted "I hope you move to ***." That means she's interested and likes me right? So I tried saying hi to her the next night through chat with no response. I didn't want to come on too strong so I didn't say anything at all the next day and neither did she. The third day after our date, I was at the beach and texted her to casually ask her how her evening was going and now two days later, still no response.

Is that the cold shoulder? Should I be taking the hint that she doesn't want to see me again? OR is this merely the dating game? Should I be more aggressive? She's quite good looking and probably has her pick of any guy she wants.

What do you guys think?

Why do you insist on texting? Why not be direct and call her? Leave a message if she doesn't pick up.

If she still doesn't get back to you after that, then take the hint and move on.

You have tried 3 modes of communication to talk to this girl,if she was interested I think she would have gotten back to you by now.

She knows how to contact you,for now,I would move on.

You have tried to reach out to her she has not responded. She knows how to reach you if she wants to. In the meantime, do your life.

My immediate reaction as well was to pick up the phone and call her. We've all turned into cowards... never talking much anymore... everything is email, text, MSN chat lines... no human contact...

Hmm, thanks everyone. Cell phones generally don't work in my area, we get zero reception here. I suppose I'm afraid of embarrassing myself by calling her and struggling to ask her out while not being able to hear each other. I'll try her again tonight and call her next time I'm out and about where I get a better signal. Such a stupid problem to have.

Thanks everyone. :)

If your cellphone doesn't work, how do you know the text message went through?

Maybe she was on another date. Call her, and keep doing your own thing.
