This is a common question asked by many men when things don't happen for them like they expected it to. So here's mine.

Meet girl; attractive, funny, lots of similar interests.

Dinner; sit side by side, lots of closeness + eye contact, drinks and laughs are had.

Evening; street drink till we find something to do, press wrong floor on elevator just to have an excuse to be private with her longer she asks if I did that on purpose and I just go in for the kiss and ends with making out in the elevator till we get to our stop. Lots more of this type of activity happens throughout the night, feeling on top of my game.

Heading home; take the train, continual touching/kissing/etc, ask her to come home and she does. Get a block from my house and she says she's actually gotta go home because of some early morning commitments. Call her a cab and she says she really likes me and we should hang out again and that's that.

Thoughts; date went great, didn't act desperate or self deprecate, felt in control the whole time.

Next couple days; barely talk next day, day after that she doesn't respond to my text msg (I shouldn't have texted, but we're all weak sometime).

Where did I go wrong?

edit: We paid for our own meals/drink at the restaurant, split the bottle and got our own chase. I dropped $10 on cover for her. Didn't pay for her cab.

tried to post this from my throwaway, but fuckkkkk you automoderator.
