Prob over analyzing this so asking for an outside view.

Scenario:

See smoking HB on Saturday night at a bar. Approach and push/pull throughout the night. Grab her number because my group was changing venues.

I text her Sunday evening "hey it's x" and reference something from that night. I get no answer shrug my shoulders and delete the convo.

Today, 4 days later, a response "hey x how are you".

I'm kinda put off she took four days to answer and am not sure if she's only texting for attention/validation which I won't feed. I don't mind ghosting but I don't think there's anything to lose by responding and immediately escalating to meeting up. I have tomorrow night open as I like to take it easy on Fridays.

Should I answer today/tomorrow and go straight for drinks Friday night?

E.g., I'm good I'm around tomorrow night let's grab a drink.
