So, I did something that I usually never do, but for me it's a big step in the right direction.

I've been texting with this beautiful and fascinating woman for a few days and last night we spoke on the phone for over two hours and it went amazing. We had a blast, I escalated quite far with the conversation (for example, joking about her teaching me Swedish in bed) and it was received really well to be honest. She even sent me a "thank you" text and told me how much she enjoyed herself.

Well, we had sketched out plans for a date, she even invited me over, but we hadn't worked out a time and details but said we'd text about it today. I sent her a proposal around 12 noon for lunch tomorrow (she said she prefers short notice/spontaneous stuff) and then maybe checking out her place if we're into each other. No response for 8 hours. She's an extremely busy girl, chaotic life, two jobs and multiple hobbies.

I've been wanting to see "Project Hail Mary" and was planning to do it tomorrow before she brought up the date idea, but held off on buying tickets to see what this girl said first. Well, it's evening now and still no reply, so I just went ahead and bought the ticket.

I was very tempted to send her a text checking in but as soon as a typed it, my intuition told me "No." It would come off as pressure and also probably needed. I asked Google what it thought and it said basically the same thing and that I should just book the ticket, so I did.

I'll just let her know I hadn't heard from her, so I made other plans and I'll suggest another day we can meet up. I think this will go over even better.
