Throwaway account. A few weeks ago an HB8 poked me on Facebook. I am in my late 20s, she is in her early 20s. We started talking and I got her number. After blowing her off a couple of times for happy hours since I was busy, we went out on a date last Thursday. This girl was fun and she was already climbing in my lap that night. We got wasted, her girlfriends showed up to a bar we were at, and I got cock blocked by one of her GFs as she took her to her car.

The next morning she was texting me and being her chatty self as usual (telling me she had a lot of fun and wants to see me again), just to all of a sudden turn short on me a couple of hours later. I noticed it right away and didn't proceed. The past couple of weekends before that she always disappeared so I figured she had a BF (plus she had their pictures from January and February plastered on her FB).

Sunday evening comes around and she texts me out of the blue saying she is sorry for not being responsive and she had a crazy weekend. I brush it off saying "I just figured you keep shabbos or your parents took your phone privileges away" She laughed it off and stopped texting again.

On Monday (drunkenly and stupidly) I texted her with "Do you have a bf? If you have one of those I am not the jealous type but I'll stop hollerin. Hope all is well" I figured this was stupid, but I was very drunk when I said it.

Didn't hear back from her until today morning. She randomly texted me:

Her: Hey, everything is going well. I don't have a boyfriend. I just got out of a very long relationship thought and don't want to jump into another. This week has been hectic for me!. My apologies I haven't been responding as much as I used to"

Me: Woman, we had one date. I don't want a relationship either! Slow your roll there. From past experience though, I figured you had a bf or baggage since I was not feeling the love all of a sudden.

Her: No I am not saying you're rushing into any type of relationship, I am not getting that vibe from you at all! I am just saying that because it's how I feel and that's why I am not like ALL ABOUT IT. I don't wanna lead you on or anything. I definetly had a good time and I am down to keep hanging out.

Me: Good. I wouldn't want you to fall for me. I am glad we are on the same page. RElationships are for November-March. Them cold winter months.

Her: LOL. Good one.

And that's it. She hasn't texted since and neither have I. I am not sure if I should take this she is being direct and DTF or I am being rejected here into the friend zone. Either way, she needs to work to get my attention and she knows how to contact me further.

I have social proof in my city and I am visible publicly to her and her friends. I don't have problem meeting women either, but I never had such a conversation with anyone. Most women I sleep with I friendzone them and we both keep each other around for benefits. Last woman had such directness with me it was about what I wanted and if I wanted to commit to her.

She used to text me all day everyday almost and even after our date, then this...Patience is key and I just withdraw myself in these situations and let them make the move. I am not really fond of having any sort of these discussions and I just go with the flow of things. But when faced with this I am not sure how to interpret it. Not sure if rejection or her game.
