Randomly hit up an hb9 that I used to chill with a couple wks ago. We havent hung out in about 6 months and she kind of blew me off then after we had hooked up. Anyways, she said she was busy with her mom and said we should hang out soon b/c it's been a while. I said yeah, lmk next weekend you're in town. A week later she hits me up with this text.

Her: long lost friend
me (30 mins later): I assume you received my msg in a bottle?
her (next day): Ya it showed up at my door a few days ago. Quite romantic of you

I'm kind of meh on what to do with this b/c I don't want to get burned/blown off like last time. I really liked her before but now am weary as to what her intentions are. How can I play this with out getting invested? How do I know she's not going to just blow me off again this time? What would a good response be?

I'd do what you normally do. Slow and steady... At least until you find out what she wants.

If it turns out she wants you, don't make it TOO easy for her, or she'll lose interest and blow you off again.

What would be a be a good response that is slow and steady?

DA - You're exactly right on that assumption, sir. Could you provide me with a good response to her text?
