Throwing this up here for you guys to evaluate how this texting went down.

Background (Thursday): Meet this girl at the gym, she's an easy HB9. She actually approached me with her 2 friends asking about some advice on the slackline (it's a rock-climbing gym), which I'm pretty good at. She's giving me a lot of attention and eyeing me; if I'm talking to her friend and then look at her on the slackline, she's looking at me. Her and her friends hang around me for at least an hour. When I go to leave later I get her name and number easily; there's no resistance.

Texting (Friday): I hit her up after work on Friday; I'd rather wait 2 days, but I have a business trip later this week and I'll be out of the country for nearly a month. I was looking to cement something a little more than just a coffee thing, so I invite her hiking. Plus, it's not expensive. Here's the texts:

Me (4:53): Hey, it's TRPQuestions123 from the gym. You like hiking?

Her (4:57): Hey how's it going. I sure do.

Me (5:15): Cool - I'm going to hike local place this weekend. You should come. Maybe grab a drink in town after.

Her (5:16): I'm not 21 unfortunately. I have 2 more months.

Me (5:17): Well, the hiking then is the main point. You down?

Radio Silence

Evaluation: She signaled she was interested in the gym, but once it got to texting it seems to have shut down. Although she's hot, I checked her Facebook to see what kind of flags there might be -- she barely ever posts, so maybe she's more of a shy girl? Also, the hike I suggested is hugely popular -- the local college kids go on that all the time, so there'd be a lot of people going up and down and not like some remote creepy shit; just FYI. Though maybe it got construed as that?

Any thoughts on how to improve here, fellas? My plan is to not respond until she says something; I have no qualms with nexting her. Just want any advice for future engagements with other girls.
