confused? - January 18th 2012, 05:56 AM

so i sent this girl ive never met or talked to before a message online about 4 or 5 days ago just "hey, whats up?" 2 days later she responds "nothing really wats up with u? if u want to talk to me my number is *********" i wasnt able to read the message until almost 2 days later because i couldnt open it. so today i got it open and i texted her earlier today around 1pm. i thought about calling but that might be creepy. so i said in the text " hey there its my name what r u up to?" i second guess everything i do and overanalyze everything i say. idk if this message was too forward, a little redundant asking her basically whats up again and maybe that annoyed her. or if she was expecting a call, and didnt like that i texted, or i shouldve answered her question from a couple days ago with a generic response or whatever. she gave me her number almost immediately i took that as a good sign. now she hasnt responded. its confusing? what do you guys think? i hope this doesnt sound desperate cuz im not just dont understand why it ends before it even starts.

Don't worry too much about her not responding. There are thousands of factors that could result in her not replying to your text which could be simple as her being out of credit.
To me the messge is fine, don't worry about it. If she doesn't reply in a couple of days then just send her a messgae online saying, "Hey, how are you?". Just try not to send too many messages because that could come off as being desperate for her attention.
Try not to think about too much, what you've done so far is fine.
pm/vm me if you have any questions or comments.

Well, you said it took her two days to respond the first time. It hasn't even been one day since you texted her again, so I wouldn't freak out just yet. Give it a few more days, and if she doesn't respond, call her (don't text again - it's not as personal when you're reading words on a screen vs. hearing someone's voice). When you resume the conversation, don't ask generic questions like, "What's up?" That's boring. Instead, ask her if she's seen such-and-such movie, or what she thought of so-and-so teacher's homework lesson/homework assignment/test. Get her to connect with you on a more friendly level, then work your way toward asking her out (if that's what you intend to do). For example, you could turn the movie question into, "Have you seen such-and-such movie? I was thinking about seeing it this weekend - do you want to come?" You could turn the homework question into, "This homework assignment is so boring/difficult... I need a 'study buddy'!"

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it was the OP who responded 2 days later.
I wouldn't worry about the text though. Texting is less forward than calling in my opinion, and she did give you her number. Therefore she did want you to contact her. Just give it some time, she may respond soon.

Oh, I think you're right. The wording is a bit confusing.
Well, regardless of when she replied, I would give it another day or two. Maybe she's just really busy. If she read your text, meant to reply, but forgot about it, then there's no harm in calling her.

Well, normally I would say, "Because she didn't have the guts to say 'no' outright." A lot of women will feel pressured to give someone their phone number, even though they don't want to. They will then ignore the phone calls and text messages until the other person takes the hint and backs off, thus solving the woman's problem. The weird thing in your case, though, is that you didn't ask for her number. She gave it to you freely. So maybe, just MAYBE, she lost her phone or ran out of minutes to call you back? Or it could be that she changed her mind about you after she gave you her phone number, and that's why she's not responding now.

Honestly, only she knows the answer to your question, and I think you're doing the right thing by moving on. If she responds, fine, but if she doesn't, it's not something that needs to get under your skin. If she responds, I'd ask her what took so long - maybe her reason will be valid, and the two of you can resume contact in the future.
