So, I gave out my number to several chicks on this dating site, right? I haven't been on a date for two years - focusing on myself and raising my value, so to speak. I'm feeling confident as fuck, but I think my game is a little rusty. Anyway, one girl gave me her number back, told me she was a big texter and to get at her. I kept the text conversations real short - some basic "getting to know what you like" kind of shit. She tells me she really likes Italian food, so I do my homework as to what's in the area. A few days later, text convo went like this on a Sunday:

Her: How are yooou?
Me: Sunny side up despite the weather, luv. How are ya?
Me: I just made pancakes so epic that there shalt not be anything like them four score and seven years from now...
Her: Hahaha ohh I'm jealous!! What kind of pancakes did you make?
Me: Chunky Monkey pancakes with bananas, chocolate chips and pecans
Me: But, don't worry. I'll be cooking breakfast for you eventually...
side note, I really didn't make pancakes, ha!
Her: Ohhh that sounds awesome! Hehe I can't wait
Me: So, I really want to treat you to an Italian dinner something fierce. Not sure if you're seeing anyone right now, though. Interested?
Her: I'm not seeing anyone no worries! And yes I am most definitely interested
Me: I was thinkin' (insert nice and casual Italian restaurant), Friday at 7:00? I'll meet you there
Her: OMG I love that place! That sounds perfect!!!!

So a few more days roll by. I really didn't text her that much because I was actually very busy, but she was trying to ping me alot. I also didn't want to know too much about this chica or want her to know too much about me over text convos because I'd be shit out of things to talk about on this initial meeting. Today is Thursday and I called her after I knew she was off work to confirm the dinner. Kept it right to the point, "Just thought I'd call ya for once, looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night." She said, "I don't know if I can make it, can I text you back in a little bit? I'm on the highway." Half hour later, text convo went like this:

Her: I'm waiting to hear back from my mom about babysitting my brother but I'll let you know as soon as I know
Me: Nevermind Friday then. Saturday night at 7? Or, shit, let's hang out tonight
5 hours later
Me: Haha! I suppose I should take the hint and cut my losses. Hope you find a guy that will treat a beautiful woman like yourself as you deserve! Take good care of yourself!

She hasn't responded, and I don't really expect her to. On to the next one, haha! She could've been telling the truth, but I had a gut feeling that she was trying to flake on me. Did I over-react? Maybe I should have set the date earlier? I don't know.

I probably would still take her out because she's a little spinner, but if she texts or calls back, how do I handle this? Ignore her and just keep chatting it up with other chicks? Or, should I take her out when she really wants to?

Thanks! If there's any other information I can provide, let me know. I appreciate the advice!

Last txt - needy

Why are you cutting your losses cause you didn't get a reply for 5 hrs? People have shit to do.

Not bad up till then though.

You did ok until your last 2 texts. If she says she'll let you know, give her a chance to make good on that. You need to have more options instead of waiting around with your phone in hand, needing her to text you. Even if you don't have other options, make like you do. Don't respond to her last text. Wait for her to get back to you. When friday comes and she didn't text back, text her a pic on saturday of a plate full of ravioli of stuffed manicotti. Which you still enjoyed even tho she wasn't there. Just don't let her see the empty can of chef boyardee on the counter. ha!

Better luck next time.

In my experience, when a woman is interested in hanging out with you - she'll make the world turn to make it happen. I guess I was just testing that theory with those last two texts. Haven't heard from her since, I haven't contacted her, so I'll just consider this a warmup and move on to the next fox.

Thanks for your feedback!

Less is more. And she'll no doubtably chose her family over a guy she doesn't know. So if her mom really did need her to babysit, there's no way she'll bail on family for you.

Bottom line, you fucked up by not waiting for her to let you know. And you completely fucked up by replying with that garbage after 5 hours.

Haha, thanks. Your confidence is awe-inspiring. Pretty damn sure she was lying, though.
