That will happen a lot, probably more often than not. Could be she gave you her number but wasn't really interested, or a million other reasons. If she was interested she would text you back. Move on.
Definitely don't text something passive-aggressive like someone else suggested. It won't do you any favors and just makes you look bitter.

It's been my experience that if you ask a woman for her number, most of the time she'll give it to you even if she doesn't have any intention of going out with you. Just because you get a girl's number does not guarantee you'll be going out on a date with her.

Have you come across cases where there was good rapport before the #-close, and even ideas for future dates (talking about shared interests and such) but the girls never text back nonetheless?

It's something that happens more often than you think. It's happened to me, and countless other guys as well. It's really common to see questions here and /r/AskSeddit where the guy says "We were getting along great and she gave me her number, but then she never texted me back. What happened?" Or "We went out on a couple of dates, things were going great, and we even made out with each other. Then suddenly she stopped talking to me. What happened?"
The lesson you should take away from this: Women are going to flake on you, and it's going to be a fairly common occurrence. So don't let it get to you.

I mean, nothing bad could come of it. Just realize she probably isn't interested so don't get your hopes up.

1 call only maybe. Anything more and you're creep zoning yourself.

No, a phone number is not a goal unless your goal is to make a phone book. Move on.
I'd wait a day or two from the time you texted her, then send her another text asking if she wants to meet up for drinks. It's possible that she was busy or away from her phone when she got your first text and then forgot to message you back. A lot of women are really disorganized and terrible at remembering to text back.
If she doesn't reply to your second text, just let her go.

Try bringing up something you remembered about her instead of being so into yourself.
Or show even more sack and just call her.

Welcome to dating. # closes don't mean shit, expect a high % of flakes.

Last few weeks I've had 4 in a row do this, seemed down in person, went ghost on my texts/calls (1 attempt per skirt). Recently a 5th girl bothered to text back but flaked on the date.
Welcome to being a Validation buddy. I maintain that unless she's ready to drag you to the bathroom right there and then, you prolly won't ever hear from her.
At least back in the day we could club em and drag em back to the cave (by the hair and not feet, obviously......)

Give another text, if she doesn't respond you move on. She either gave you the wrong number by accident or you put in wrong. Either way there is no use thinking about it.

Go ahead, call her then but I have a feeling she won't pick up. If she didn't reply to your text then what makes you think she will pick up? Look at the situation, she wasn't into you. I've been in the same situation countless times, you may have thought you had a "nice connection" but to her it was probably just another conversation.

You should wait another day or two and text her saying "guess you're not as outgoing over the phone as you are in person. Have a nice day"
