Hi everyone, long story short, I met this HB8 4 days ago via a common friend, we hit it off immediately, spent about half a hour together chatting and laughing, shared a drink. As the venue was closing, we briefly kissed on the lips and we went together outside. We had a good chemistry although I'm not the best escalator ever.

Oh, before that she got my number (my phone was dead) and sent me a text so that I had hers.

Outside the club I wasn't motivated for an instant close (both of us were working 5 hours later) so I probably didn't push it enough and this MAY have been my biggest problem (but I also think it was a reasonable, non-needy behaviour?).

Anyway, wrote her about 2pm on Friday asking if she wanted to meet for a drink after work (at least three mistakes: wrote for the same day, on a weekend and straight after work after she slep few hours), she told she was sorry but couldn't make it and all she wanted was to rest.
I sent a polite and non-needy reply and disappeared.

What may have been wrong and what is my best move now?
The meeting was 4 days ago, the text conversation 3 days ago.

Why are you taking it as a rejection? She just said she was busy.


Keep texting her, make her laugh and keep trying you wuss.

I took it as a hint to a rejection as I've seen (or imagined) a lack of enthusiasm towards the end of the night, especially when she got on the taxi.

What should I do here? I was planning to simply invite her out again. I'm always bad with textgame, on one hand I want to avoid try-hard, elaborated texts. On the other, a simple "I'd like to see you on Thursday" may make me one of the many... Opinions?

"Hey, do you fancy doing x sometime in the next week, which day is best for you?"

Sent, but I have a really bad feeling. Let's see... and thanks anyway.

I hope you didn't put "x" in there

Possibly, but if you ask her like this, you will know if she is interested or just make excuses

She replied two hours later, that she will let me know because she's very busy with work this week, then she sent a kiss.

basically a no, I'll leave this at that, from now on I can only have good surprises...
