No response to text after 1st date

[Cam87]

So I had a great date last night. Had drinks and a bite, then went to a cool bar for another drink. Date was about 2.5 hours, conversation never stopped and we had a ton in common.

I didn't escalate physically as I knew in the week or so leading up to the date that she goes to bed quite early -- 9:30 or so -- and it was a first date.

Today I texted her saying:

"Hey Ashley - had a great time with you last night. What do you say we keep the ball rolling .... I think it'd be fun to make a home cooked dinner, you like tacos? You free Saturday?"

Got this text "Template" from this article https://www.girlschase.com/content/3-sec ... -and-swoon.

So, no response...Could use a good follow-up strategy for here on if she doesn't respond. Suggestions?

I read this article as well on why girls don't text https://www.girlschase.com/content/what- ... -text-back.

Forget the texting articles. The bigger question is why didn't you just bring her back to your place after the date, escalate from there, then sleep with her? 9:30 is not THAT early, and who cares if it was a first date? You both were obviously into each other, there was really no excuse.

I say give her a little space, like a few days, before contacting her again. If she doesn't respond again....oh well...? Whenever you're out with a girl, aim to make love to her ASAP.

Vash,

I hear what you're saying.

So you'd attribute her not responding to not taking her home?

She probably went into auto-rejection. Vash is right, leave a few days.

I have an idea, if you want to try this out. I remember doing this during my school days. I experimenting this idea again. Casually text a girl on sporadically and calling her later. Then again casually text again, ask her out.

It will be more hard work. So practically, make things simple, you likely in the boyfriend role now, but if you want her, then why not? Just keep things sporadically, then try to close. Otherwise your main focus is now on other girls.

If she doesn't reply your text, it's okay. But if it's more than three times consecutively, your chances are gone.

Zac,

What do suggest the next text be?

I'm thinking something like: "Well I guess you're not a big taco fan after all, ha!"

I'm thinking something like: "Well I guess you're not a big taco fan after all, ha!"

I love to do that too. I do that a lot last time.

IT doesn't work! ROAR.. Slap me real hard.

Just normal stuff will do. Don't talk about the weather. Just genuinely mention you having dinner and how great it is. Ask her what she's having at the moment. Nothing fancy. Then, A few text exchanges between you and her. Just don't get carried away. Most men do. and when after a month, give her a call, talk to her for about ten minutes, not 3 hours. Gauge yourself accordingly. Make it short.

Ask her out by calling again after the first call, a few days later.

(I made an error by putting, text to ask her out than calling on my response post. Call is better.)
