Hey guys. Straight to the point. Need some guidance/advice on assessing my interaction with a girl I met via Tinder.

I'm 26, she's a HB7 19 year old. We swiped right on each other on Tinder about 3 months, exchanged a few texts through the app back and forth (she wasn't a very good texter) before she returned to school in another state.

About two weeks ago, I'm eating lunch at whole foods and she's throwing away her trash, makes eye contact with me, and says "I know you from somewhere." I want to say I play it cool, tell her to sit down with me and we chat playfully for about 15 minutes, before I cut the conversation short, grab her number and get back to my job.

She would only be in town for another couple of days, so I tell her to meet me at a coffee shop to hang out and we end up talking/laughing for 5 hours. I had some work to do that night, so I didn't bother going for a kiss/sex (not to mention, I have some demons to get off of my back).

Some cues I picked up from our time together: She sort of fidgeted a bit, fooled around with the corner of the table (it was broken/chipped), but I chalked that up to her being on ADHD medication, which she is. During the course of our time together, I noticed that she mimicked quite a few of my movements, and for the most part, she did what I told her to do (eg, show me that dance you mentioned, etc). Also, at a certain point, she opened her legs (was wearing denim jeans) and had her hand on her inner thigh. Could have been nothing. Could have been a cue. Not sure. At another point in the date, I flat out asked her if she had daddy issues...she blushed and replied with some variation of "yes." Another thing, I can't remember what I said/did, but she said I reminded her of her ex-bf, who broke her heart and sent into a spiral of depression (don't know why, but I live/love to make girls feel that way).

We ended up walking down a street busy with foot traffic, and I ran into a few people that I knew, so I imagine that may have helped with my status in her eyes. A girl's gotta shit test, so as we were walking back to her car, she made a joke about leaving me on the street by myself, to which I just kept walking without her and she ended up jogging after me to catch back up and I reigned her in with my arm (because kino is a thing).

With all of that said, and now that she's back at school (different state), I'm not sure how to proceed with this. My instincts say, keep communication to a minimum until I know she's back in town (to maintain my aura of older guy mystery) and/or visit family/vacation nearby where she's at, and hit her up once I'm there to see if she's down for a day/night of spontaneity to fully gauge interest.

Anyone care to chime in with input with a different perspective? Am I reading this wrong?
