She's asking for attention and validation. Best ignored.

Reminds of a date when the girl refused to kiss me at the end. I nexted/ignored her and I got a few texts asking whether I were "waiting" or "expecting" something at the end. She wanted me to say yes so that her ego could be boosted.

Maybe leave the "haha" out if you do respond. But I think ignoring it completely is better.

No, you didn't. You asked sarcastically for self pity with a nervous "ha ha" at the end.

"My night was great. I ended up going out with an old friend afterward."

And then you say nothing else. At all. Ever. If you have nothing else going on, you have to at least keep up the illusion that you're a wild man of mystery who will be quick to pass her up for a shiny new distraction. It keeps them on their toes and makes them want to be the one that holds your attention.

This time I thought of the response "people still starve in Africa. I'll be okay haha". What do guys? Did I handle it well?

Never, ever say that. Ignore that comment. If ever asked later, play dumb like you had no idea what that meant, so didn't respond.

"What? I had a great time!" ^ Shows outcome independence.. You had a good night regardless of whether or not she reciprocated.

Unless of course... you didn't have a great time (i.e. you lacked outcome independence).

I'm sorry man but the way you response reeks of neediness (I didn't get your pussy even though I tried but "I'll be okay")....
