After second date, waited a day and texted her “yesterday was really fun :)” to which she responds “yeah I had a good time too :)”

I then said “here, some study music for you” and sent her a song which was callback to the interaction in which we discussed our favorite instruments.

No response in two days.

My takeaway is that sending the music was unnecessary and I should have used her positive response to set up logistics for a third date.

After a first date yesterday which was during the daytime and which didn’t result in a kiss, I texted that “I had a great time :)”

My mistake was sending this text too soon after the date. It had been only an hour.

My takeaway is that sending this was a sign of overinvestment on my part. I should discipline myself so that I always wait until the day after at minimum.

Texted a girl from cold approach if she was free on X day. She responded that she was busy because of an exam the next morning, but if different day would work.

I asked her what her schedule was like this weekend.

No response in 4 days.

My takeaway is that my texting was too serious and purely logistics, I should have interwoven some amount of fluff or playfulness while also going for the date close. I should have mirrored her level of investment, for she had taken a day to respond to my first text but I responded to her within an hour.
