Approached a girl after some casual talking saw there were clear interest (she smiled and waved, called me sweet after my flirty comment). I was working as she was leaving so I kept it short: did the typical introductions and went straight for asking for her number.

Her “ I stopped giving out my number to people after some incidents with stalkers” (This girl is fine so I believe to some extent weird guys, but I treated it as a clear shit test)

She then proceeds to tell me where she works and I laugh and say “you don’t give your number out but you tell people where you work, interesting”. She hit me with she knows where I work so she can stalk me.

I double down ignoring the number situation and said “let’s just grab a drink on Saturday” She initially agreed and said it would be late then suggested next week would be better. I decided on Tuesday. (Only free day for me)

She said I could follow her on Instagram and I laughed cause I don’t have social media. I was planning to let it go and then she just decided to give me her number.

Kool story bro, ya thanks. Anyway, my question: How do you keep levels of interest going after an approach with a set date planned for a week later with no contact?

I know my best approach is no contact because she’s clearly used to guys blowing up her phone and on Monday or Tuesday only 1 text (calling stronger?) her telling her where I’ll be, maybe tease her about stalking me. Mention something about not realizing Mardi Gras was Saturday cause I had plans. Texting is not necessarily my strength so the typical clever redpill [Heres what you say] comments are welcomed.
