Alright, so I've recently texted my female friend who i'm interested in asking out. I've known her for a couple years but we never hang out outside our group of friends and i've just started to text her. I texted her for about two days and I eventually ended the conversation with a text that she couldn't respond to. She texted me a few days later with an old picture of us that she "had just come across" and we talked for another couple of days until she didn't respond to another one of my texts. Now, this girl has always been very interested in spending time with me and i'm friends with one of her best friends. I'm wondering if texting her to start a conversation and then not responding randomly would make her wonder why I haven't texted back? I've already convinced her to meet me at a party later on in the week, but she's my friend so I have no clue if she is aware that I'm into her. Besides what I can do at the party, i'm looking for suggestions on how I can interest her through texting.
