She added me on snapchat. 3 hrs later she sends me a pic of 2 wine bottles and tells me she was thinking of me when she bought them. I'm going to toot my own horn here for the mind fvcking that I happily gave her in the following:
Her: I was thinking about you when I bought the wine today
Me: 2 bottles? Nice
Her: it's been a long day and I need them for a hard to watch episode of greys anatomy this evening.
Me: Enjoy
Her: is it ok that I added you on snap and messaged you?
Me: doesn't bother me
Her: I was going to text you today but I figured that you might be mad
Me: I'm not mad. Why would you think that?
Her: because you said you didnt want to text me if we werent going to date because I wasnt sure if I wanted a relationship
Me: I'm not mad. I actually agree with you
Her: you do?
Me: Yes. I clearly somehow gave you the impression that I'm looking for something serious right out of the gate. Not the case
Her: really?
Me: absolutely. I dont have time to see one person right now but I still enjoyed your company
Her: well I still want to see you but I want to slow down a little and not feel rushed.
Me: no rush here. It's all good. I have a busy schedule coming up but I'll let you know down the road when I can break free. But it might be a bit
Her: like when are you thinking?
Me: not sure. I'm probably tied up for the next couple of weeks. Maybe we can try after that
Her: 2 weeks?
Me: yeah. You know that I'm going boating/fishing in Michigan next Friday so maybe the following week.
Her: ok. I really didn't want to wait that long to see you again.
Me: if I get caught up next week maybe before I go on my trip you can pick up some wine, come to my place next Thursday evening and we can just chill out and make pasta
Her: that sounds perfect. I love wine and pasta
Me: no promises on next Thursday though. I'll have to play it by ear and see what is going on. You got lucky by getting to see me twice in one week.
Her: hopefully you can get free next week so we can hang out before you leave.
Me: we'll see
Her: what are you doing this weekend?
Me: golfing and boating. This weekend is not good.
Her: ok. Let's do our best to try for next Thursday then and if you get freed up sooner let me know
Me: ok. Enjoy your wine and have a good evening.
Since she has messaged me several times but I havent responded.
I thought I played it pretty well. Silence and a little distance, zero initiation, responded when she reached out but scarce availability and set up the next meeting for her to pick up wine, come over and make dinner and ultimately smash. Wash, rinse, repeat.
My bet is she will reach out again tomorrow to see if I have any free time this weekend. Of which I wont. 2 other dates lined up already this weekend.
