I will keep this short and punchy to make for an easier read. I would appreciate any advice / insights anyone here may provide.

Background

  • Met an awesome girl two weeks ago
  • She's a 30F lawyer and I'm a 26M investment banker (both naturally busy, high achieving people)
  • 1st date: went great, grabbed a few drinks, we got along well, had sex that night. Set up the next date within 48 hours
  • 2nd date: 5 days after 1st date; again, went great. Had drinks at a nice bar/restaurant. Went back to my apartment, had sex again (she was yelling out my name this time and I could just tell it was good sex)
  • Throughout the first two dates, I played everything pretty cool and didn't express any needy / clingy / desperate behavior... 2nd date we got to know each other a bit better as well
  • Two days after 2nd date:
  1. She reaches out to me (i.e. texted first) and says "I had fun the other day"...
  2. To which I reply "Same, good seeing you again. Come join me at [XYZ cool but not fancy bar/restaurant] on Sunday"...
  3. She says, "Haha I have to work unfortunately" (with no suggestion of an alternative time)...
  4. I reply with a light-hearted meme about "working on the weekend" and say "We both feel this pain I know haha. Let me know if there's another time you're free [wink emoji]"
  5. She reacts to the first "we both feel this pain I know haha" message [Haha] (not typed out directly, like the iMessage reaction) but doesn't respond to the 2nd message
  6. It's now been 4 days and she hasn't said anything else or offered any times for the next date...

    Commentary

  • My intuition tells me if she was actually interested, she would've offered another time already, no?
  • I'm inclined to wait this out until she directly responds, or alternatively send her a text unrelated to the "next date" (also not a "what's up" or "hows your day" text, but something about a basketball game we actually talked about and say something like "Did you watch this? I'm shocked XYZ team actually won haha"...
  • In the meantime, I'm just continuing to do what I normally do (work, workout, meet other girls, etc.)
  • Is it possible she's playing games to test me? It also came out on her 2nd date that she's an avoidant attachment style (she brought this up, not me, but it was an organic conversation)
  • I know I didn't disclose a ton of details (happy to provide more if helpful) but I would really appreciate if anyone could offer any advice or insights into the situation. I'm trying not to overthink this and lose my mind... Thanks!
