Ok, I met this girl online a few weeks ago and we have been emailing quite a bit. Last night I called her for the first time and we talked for like an hour. Great chemistry and everything. We made plans to go to lunch this saturday. I didn't call or text all day today but she just now texted me about 20 minutes ago and said, "I hope you had a great day =)" So I replied with, "You too " and that was it. I mean, I could call her tonight but honestly I'm kind of working on something. SHould I just leave things the way I did?
Yes.

Well, we didn't really set something up that is official yet. We were gonna figure that out later in the week. It was lame balls huh? I couldn't really think of anything else to say at the moment. I didn't really feel like talking.
Don't talk when you're unsure and/or don't feel like talking. It's not required for you to do that and it's not a good idea in general.
Also, what's with all this "we" stuff? She wants to be with you right...someone has to be more in charge, be that person. Don't try to come up with ways to "nice guy" plan stuff, say you would like to go out with her on Day X, Time X and either she can or not. If not, come up with another time but NOT ANY TIME, you've got your own life and are busy with things.

Omg what is wrong with me? So am I ****y???
Uh I ended up txting her back just to say, "Last night was fun." It was kind of a joke, but I was kind of serious too lol. And she goes, "Sorry I kept you on the phone so long."
Me:"I liked talking to you. Did you have a nice day?"
Then she goes on to tell me about her christmas party at work and what she got and I said, "NIce, can't go wrong with that. I'm gonna go to bed now. I'll txt you tomorrow and we can figure out what to do Saturday. Nite =)"
And she just replied with, "Later."
Am I reading too much into things? Did I come off as ****y or something? I really am going to bed soon because I got hardly any sleep last night and I can't even think straight right now.
You're reading too much into things.
But, I'd suggest you ask less about what she's doing and how her day is, really, you'll most often get in a girl-girl conversation. Also, "i liked talking to you" is going to set off "oh ****, a needy guy" alarm bells. Stop appreciating her for existing and using her vocal cords. Really, you'll lose her. I promise.
Haha ok but do you think I pissed her off by telling her so quickly that I was gonna go to bed?
Also, wouldn't you say I better text her tomorrow with the saturday plans because I did in fact tell her tonight that is what I will do...txt her tomorrow. If I don't then she will think I'm a man who can't keep his word or somethin.
Also, I forgot to mention that this girl told me she really doesn't get out a whole lot lately. Kind of gave up on all her friends and keeps to herself. She also briefly mentioned that she has a hard time trusting guys due to some past experiences...so um should I really play these games? Lol she might just think I'm an as*ho*e or something.
Stop listening so closely to what she says and attaching extra meanings to it, your mind will pick the ones it wants to see, negative or positive. Shorten your conversations as well. You have better things to do, you're doing your own thing as a man, not turning into a girlfriend for a girl.
In general, and not about what you posted above:
Don't be her girlfriend, avoid talk about previous boyfriends/relationships or guys in general.
Don't be her priest, no confessions, secrets, and don't say your own.
Don't be her therapist: issues she has about men, not your problem, the more you deny you're like that, or say "i understand blah blah" the more she'll be turned off.
DON'T DO THOSE THINGS IF YOU WANT TO GET THE GIRL AND KEEP HER.
