Long story short, 30 yr old male, was left number at my job from a 23 yr old girl. Texted her a few days later. Set up a date for the following Friday, she had to cancel due to one of her girlfriends birthday parties being changed to that day instead of the Saturday (got a text apologizing). During the 2 week window of trying to get together we would text almost everyday (yeah after reading some other posts this was dumb on my part, I'm here to make mistakes and learn). It was to a point where the texts were random banter and i would receive a text almost every morning and then go from there. I did cut off the texting for a few days because honestly i didn't have anything else say, and got a random text one night wishing me a good night at work. Finally went out for drinks, date lasted a good 4 hours and flew by with some casual hooking up and she tells me she hopes to see me soon. Fast forward a few days we meet up again asks me to take a ride with her to drop her friend off and then we get dinner; another easy 2 hours of good conversation hook up again. Another week goes by same banter almost everyday ( sometimes initiated by her, sometimes by me) I ask to come to my place and hang out, told me shes wishes but is getting drinks with the girls. She ends up coming to my job (Restaurant proprietor)prior to going out, to meet a friend and we all hang for a little before I leave. Receive a text when I am home how good of a surprise it was to see me. Chat for a little and ended with me telling her to say hello to someone for me where she was going that night and got a will do.
Now, that was the end of all contact lol... I went out that night and the next day with friends as did she i never texted her (not sure why, genuinely was interested in her) nor did i receive anything from her. We haven't spoken since and it's been a week. I guess i have my guard up from my last relationship when i was about 26 ( i got walked all over like a dog, continually chased my now ex etc) told myself once that was over that i would never allow my self to act that way again.
Am I in the wrong here? Did i mess this up? I mean I could have received something from her initiating something since i was the one doing it for the prior 3 weeks. Or if she was interested I would received something like the prior weeks. Whether i talk to or bang this girl is irrelevant to me at this point. I'm trying to improve my overall confidence and abilities with dating so I'm just wondering what ya'll think could have happened, was it my fault (if it was what steps do i take to right the wrong if any), or I didn't do anything wrong and keep on progressing.
