(Friday) So I'm at the bar with 3 guy friends. I was fairly drunk as that was my only intention for the night (wasn't their to pick up). We're all sitting at a table and a girl approaches. Not sure what exactly was said but she ended up smoking one of my cigarettes. Some banter and she moves back to her friends behind me. Some time goes by and my buddy, more versed in pick up than I am, also relatively sober at the time proceeds to egg me on to go talk to her, ask her out, etc. I'm drunk enough I'm not thinking clearly so I resist by asking him what I should say. He makes a suggestion and before I can do anything she comes back over again, takes another cigarette, so we banter some more. I pretty much abandoned most of what he said to say but did work in one of the details. As I do she says "I know" as in she must have over-heard our conversation. So I feel like a bit of a bitch at this point but still ask and easily receive her number. I text her something witty after leaving and the night ends. We text back and forth a little the next day or two. I had a busy weekend. So on sunday I ask her out for drink on the following Thursday because it was the most free time I had. She says she has plans, and suggest tomorrow instead. I reluctantly but playfully agree.

(Drinks) This is where I sucked. I can only assume it was my head getting in the way as I was acting kinda of 'beta' as some would say. Despite this we managed to carry on a conversation without any issue for at least an hour, and we call it a night. Though there was certainly some awkwardness toward the end. We leave. I pretty much knew at this point I was blown out, but in the off-chance I was wrong I sent her a message somewhere along the lines of "had a nice time, we should do it again" even though this wasn't completely true. I think it was more so a test to see if she bites. Probably an initial sign of oneitis. So the week goes by and I don't hear anything.

(Next Friday night) Go back to the same bar. I have 3 friends that are bouncers so we tend to get to jump lines and such so me and my friends tend to frequent there. Walking in I see her chatting up some other guy, but I completely ignore her and go about the rest of my night.

(Saturday morning) I'm still a bit drunk and not thinking rationally, so I get this dumb idea to send this chick a sarcastically spiteful retort to her ignoring me. Oddly enough, she responds apologetically and so on still indicating interest. So at this point I'm pretty confused and based on conversation I've come to the conclusion that she's either not that interested and just faking it to be nice, or she just doesn't know how to carry on a conversation unless I'm extremely direct.

In any case, I know the best course of action is to forget about her and move on to bigger and better things, but part of me wants see if I can't resurrect her initial interest (which was quite obvious and quite strong initially). I though about inviting her out next time I'm out with my friends.

I know what most people are going to say, but any and all comments suggestions are welcome.
