• Met girl at a group supper at a restaurant. She is very quiet, barely says anything (shy).
  • Couple weeks later my buddy and I chill at a bar with her and her girlfriend whom my buddy knows, she's more talkative this time, I get her number at the end of the night.
  • Two days later I text her saying that night was fun. I try and set up logistics for the upcoming saturday but she's heavily busy with exam studying and work shit. She did say she wanted to meet up for coffee at some point. I play it off idgaf style and ghost for a week.
  • Week later on a monday I set up logistics for a date. She says yes and seems excited to see me on the wednesday.
  • The date happens and we land up sitting at starbucks until closing, so about 2.5 hours. She talks mainly the whole time (85/15 roughly), we cover a wide range of topics such as traveling, schooling, work, things we like to do etc. Eye contact is good. She looked at my lips a lot. I fucked up and didn't escalate. I felt a bit numbed by her constant talking. She did laugh a lot though, and I felt like she was really opening up. At the end I fucked up again and didn't walk her to her car or hug or anything, just a kind of awkward "K bye!".
  • The next day I say last night was fun, and I'd like to go out again sometime, maybe later next week, unless she's free tonight, in which I had some time. She says she's busy wiith work/school stuff tonight, but we could easily figure out logistics later. I then respond with a short "for sure", then 30 mins later she says "maybe could set up a thing with the gang". I just ignore it and have ghosted since.

My plan is to ghost until late next week and see what happens. She just seems weirdly restrained through text but in person its a whole other world where she's definitely interested. We text rarely but when we do its always a 1:1 ratio and her texts are always like a paragraph long, and she does reciprocate and ask me questions. However she has never initiated a text towards me as well. Is this the sign of somebody disinterested, or is it the product of an actually busy person?
