What to do next with a girl I went on two dates with?

[JeffB883]

I met up with this girl from online about a week ago.

We hit it off, had a good first date, got really drunk, and things got more physical than they usually do on a first date.

I went out to dinner with her a few days later and it also went well, though we just did some making out.

I went out of town for thanksgiving and have initiated a few texts with her. She has replied within a few hours or so, reciprocating whatever question I asked but not really being too talkative. So last night I, stupidly, figure why not call her on the phone and keep the conversation active. She didn’t answer and I left a 5 second voicemail to give me a call back if she’s around. No call back. Now what?

The forum here favors bedding the girl on the first date because that's pretty much the best way to cement her attraction. Taking it slow puts you in nice guy category and her interest quickly wanes. Did you have sex with her already?

Text her as if nothing happened inviting her for coffee (and home afterwards), or directly to your place to watch a movie. Become lovers. If she asks why you called her just say you wanted to wish her happy thanksgiving.

Thanks.

We did go back to my place on the first date and got feely but she was on her period...otherwise I think we would have.

when would you text her and how would you say it? I’m new at this...or at least at trying to have some skill about it.

Well, you already got her out before, so something similar?

If you're not too good at texting, and she doesn't respond much to it, I'd just cut it off. It's not a necessary thing. If you been texting her much I'd stop it and wait two or three days before contacting her again. Then shot her a text:

"Hey [name], hope you had a great holiday. I just spent time with my family, had the best gravy ever. Good times overall I was thinking we should get together this week.. how does [day and time] works for some [tv series] and some popcorn?.. Let me know

Something like that.

She finally replied this afternoon.

“Hey Jeff! I'm so sorry haven't gotten back. Lots of crazy work stuff leading up to thanksgiving and the thanksgiving was one event after the other. Let's figure out something. I do know my week ahead will be challenging but let's see what we can do”

Is there a way I should be interpreting this and does anyone have a suggestion on a reply?
