Contact after 1st date

[drabelincoln]

Sorry this is so long...looking for advice. There was a girl at my work I was interested in, my friend knew her and I didnt see her often so I asked them to find out if she was single. One thing led to another, my friend found out she was single she had asked why he told her about me and she said she has been single for awhile, but she should probably get back out there and start dating. I took that as a polite no. No problem. A few weeks later we walk past her in the hall and later on she emails my friend and gives my friend her # so that I can text her later.

 

I text her later that night, we text for a bit set up plans to go for drinks on Monday. This was a thursday I was talking to her, she says I should text her Friday at work if I'm bored. So Friday im at work, I text her we talk for a bit. She says to call her Friday if I get a chance, I let her know I have plans but I can probably shoot her some texts if thats ok.

 

After work I get a text from her saying she knows I have plans but she doesnt have her daughter so if I wanted to meet her for a drink that night I could. I let her know I couldnt, I was supposed to be hanging out with my friend, later on a party is happening at my friends house, and I send her a text and she asks me to come out again. This time, Ive had a few drinks at this point and I tell her I would, but I cant drive. She offers to pick me up, but tells me that she isnt driving me back I'd have to stay at her place. I said thats fine.

 

She picks me up and we go out to the bar to meet up with her friends, everything seems to be going well, she's touching me a lot, laughing, having a good time in general. I probably had too much to drink espeically for a first date, but she did as well. I dont remember parts of the evening but I didnt act up or anything, just more alcohol than anticipated. We go back to her place, and talk on her couch for awhile she has her legs propped up on me. She says she is going to bed and invites me to her room, now nothing happened, we didnt even make out we both just fell asleep.

 

The next morning she wakes up and has her legs draped over mine, complaining about her knees hurting, I rub her leg and her knees and she offers me her other leg to rub. The alarm goes off and she says we have to go, her daughter is going to be home soon and she doesnt want her asking who the man with no pants on is. She takes me home, and I make mention of still doing something Monday, she says yes but she cant drink like we did. I laughed and said I understood and that I'd text her later. A few hours later she texts me and says Monday instead of going out we could stay at her place and have dinner and watch TV. I agreed and made a joke about us not drinking like we did. She doesnt reply.

 

6 or 7 hours later I text her to see if she picked up her credit card from the bar we were at, she had forgotten it when she bought a round and started a tab, she texts me back a little while later and says she forgot it. I ask her how her knees are she says still sore, she wishes I could be rubbing them again. We talk for a bit and she says she is going to bed.

 

I don't hear from her again, the next day so around 7pm I text her to confirm plans for the following day. She says yes thats fine, she changed her mind about not going out, she still didnt pick up her credit card so we could go to the bar and get beers and wings. I said it sounded good, we said our goodnights and that was that.

 

The next day, again she doesnt initiate a text, so I text her to see if she wants me to come to her place after work. She says, she didnt go to work today (which she didnt) and she doesnt feel well. I let her know I hope she feels better, and to let me know if she wants to something again sometime. (I figured by her lack of intest in talking to me after Saturday morning she was blowing me off). 30 minutes later she texts me and says she keeps thinking that I should come over, but she doesnt want to feel rushed, she has somethings to do but if I want to come over and wait while she does them I can. I said that was fine, I offered to help her if needed. She says ok and gives me her address.

 

After work I'm headed over and she texts me again, she says her daughter decided she didnt want to stay with her dad and she was coming home, she didnt think she shoud be meeting any new guy friends yet. She asked for a rain check, I said that I understood and that was fine, I was free other than Wednesdays for the next few weeks.

 

I don't hear anything back from her after that....that was yesterday. My question is at this point what should I do. Is she just not interested? Should I give it a day or so and text her again? Ive been out of the dating scene for awhile...so any advice would be helpful.
