Let's say you go to a club and drunkenly make out with a girl all night; you also get her number but she won't go home with you that night.

After a couple of days you text her asking to meet for drinks, she answers late saying she's sorry for seeing the text so late and that she's going to bed, asking if you don't mind going for drinks another day. You arrange the date to be had five days later.

In the days before the date, you never text her, so as to save time and not give her validation (plus you don't like texting). At that point, some girls will not be up to meet you for the date (since 5 days of no contact made them forget you), others will.

Is this the best strategy anyway, or should you text a bit inbetween?

Keep in mind you just made out and that's it, you don't know anything apart from her name, nationality and what she studies. You didn't talk at all.
