I was recently in detroit for an event for the weekend and there was a girl who was part of the staff that I hit it off with. We talked for a good couple hours through saturday and sunday and I definitely felt chemistry between us. On the final day right before she had to go another part of town for her job, I got her number (she was even like she said she coudln't give it to me coz she was at work but still found a way to give it to me anyways).
And throughout talking to her/getting to know her, I was getting a lot of positive signals.
-She felt comfortable enough around me to open up about herself
- She did stuff like playfully punch me in the shoulder, leaning into each other's personal space to whisper stuff that shouldn't have been being said at work (like talking about drugs)
- A lot of eye contact, and like I said before a lot of chemistry and there seemed genuine interest.
Here's how the text convo goes ( i hate texting, prefer face to face conversation so was trying to set up meeting her after work but maybe didn't go about the best way of doing it
Sunday
Me 3:49PM Hey its Br3ezy
Her 7:49PM Whuddup
Me 8:33PM When do you get off work?
Her 8:34PM Half hr
Me 9:00PM Gonna come to the bar?
Her 9:08PM Which one?
Me 9:10PM *bar name*
*no response*
Me 9:31PM really enjoyed your company at the event and just wanted to 1 more time before i leave tomorrow
Tried calling her at 11ish, didn't pick up or anything (it rang the full amount before going to voicemail
Monday
Then next day, she msg's me
Her 7:19AM Have a safe trip back!
me 7:24am working today?
*driving back home*
her 9:57am yep
me 10:02am why so busy?
her 10:21AM i always am
Me 12:46PM GL with ur life (paraphrasing what it said there), if you ever find yourself **state i live in*** send me a message too
her 1:56PM I definitely will
And I just left it at that because my chance had passed (only had sunday night available before i left).
I am really annoyed because she managed to leave an impression on my unconscious so I can't seem to shake her and I keep wondering if theres something I did wrong or should have done sooner so that I could seal the deal.
I feel like I should have tried to text her faster instead of waiting so long in between to maybe try to setup some kind of dinner date that night or just something so I could see her outside of work and then kiss her, or even get her to a secluded spot where she was working and kiss her WHILE she was working but away from her boss so she woudln't get in trouble
And her text responses didn't make a lot of sense either (this is why i hate texting and prefer talking face to face). I might have been getting desperate when I texted her that i really enjoyed her company and wanted to see her 1 more time and she doesn't respond to any of that but then in the morning (and really early too) she says have a safe trip back (she definitly read what i sent and saw the call, but i wonder why she didn't say anything about it like how she felt about it). I am confused where might stand and how she actually felt about me (if she was probably blowing me off or just genuinely wasn't able to meet me that night (or didn't feel strongly enough about me to move her schedule around to meet me but she had to work really early in the morning (since she was up at 7) so idk
I think if I had been in town for a couple more days, I could have easily set something up with her when she wasn't working and then continue from there, but since I was only available that night, I was running low on time without accounting for that factor.
TL:DR I was trying to get a cross country friends with benefits casual thing going (too long distance for a relationship imo) and somewhere it went wrong and I can't stop thinking about her either (need to meet another girl fast but school doesn't start for another week)! What went wrong here?
