I love this site; the only thing I don't like, however, is that when people leave stories like this, the general responses I hear are either "oh, she's just a crazy b*tch" or "women are dumb and don't know what they want." And that's not always the case.
In this case, you did a LOT of things wrong, some of which you may not have even told us (for example, the things you talked about while on the date could have been your downfall, but there's no examples of what topics were brought up). However, from what you've told us about your interactions, here are some MAJOR gaffs that caused her to be turned off:

Met a girl about 3 weeks ago at a party..facebook messaged her for about a wk until i got her number.
Mistake #1: You didn't ask for her number at the party. Doing this one act would have helped you read her interest level - she would have either given it up right away (high interest) or stalled (low interest).
Instead, you got her FB information? Already looking weak. And then, you messaged her back and forth for a week? Probably had quite a few convos where you were spilling your guts or saying the wrong things. Plus, being able to message her all the time made you look too available. No bueno.

Set up a date. Date went well i thought..good conversation/flirty but no kiss at the end.
Mistake #2: Didn't go for the kiss. Yes, some girls will make you wait, but I have found that the majority of girls who I've been in long relationships with were willing to kiss me sometime between midway-to-end of the first date.

Set up date number 2 at the end of date number 1.
Mistake #3: You ALWAYS want to leave a girl wondering IF you're going to ask her out again. Not doing so lets her know she's already got you in the palm of her hand, thus no longer making you a challenge.

Date 2 about 3 days after date 1(had a few messages and a call inbetween)
Mistake #4: You should've waited 5 to 7 days before taking her out again. She needs time to miss you, think about you, talk to her girlfriends about you, all of which builds up interest. The sooner you go back out, the less time she has to increase her level of desire for you.
Mistake #5: You message and called her in between dates. In essence, it's still spending time with her, which doesn't allow her to do the things mentioned in Mistake #4. Always go NC between dates. The only contact you should have is to set up the date, or when she gets antsy while waiting for said date and hits YOU up. And even then, the convo should be short and end with "let's talk more on the date, shall we?"

lasted for about 2.5 hrs and again in my opinion really good conversation/flirty and quite a bit of touching..however i didn’t man up and kiss her at the end (i know, i know
![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
).
Mistake #6: Yep, should've gone for the kiss. Not just because it feels good, but also to see if she likes you. If a girl rejects your kiss at the end of the date, it's a GOOD thing - it means you can tell she doesn't like you, and you can save money by not taking her out anymore. Think of this action as a money-saving tactic: if you don't kiss her, you may just be taking someone out who's in it for the free dinners.
Mistake #7: Also, when you say quite a bit of touching, were YOU the one initiating this touching or her? I have found that most guys on here talk about doing KINO on a girl, but really it's the opposite: SHE should be the one initiating touch with YOU first. Girls instinctively know we want to touch them; however, when you don't touch them first, it plays with their head. They start thinking, "does he like me? He's not touching me?" Then, they feel inclined to do it first, which is their way of letting YOU know it's okay to touch them.

After date 2 i text her that night and she texts back immediately..
See Mistake #5 again.
putz said:
The next day i call at night, she doesn’t pick up so i leave a voice message (nothing needy i think).
Mistake #8: No, but texting her one day then calling her the next day makes you look needy. And again, we don't know the exact message you left or what your vocal tone was when you left the message, so...
putz said:
The day after missed phone call i send a quick text joke at about 10am but no text return and i followup at 8pm saying something about her missing out on the greatest knock knock joke in the world...
Mistake #9: For those of you who read my posts on here regularly, I always talk about how text messaging KILLS relationships. This is one of those examples: sending texts about random things do NOT build up her interest. They only make you look too available, desperate, and not very interesting. Honestly, this jokey text is not something that is interesting to a girl - all jokes should be told in person.
The only time text messaging should be used - and again, I still believe calling or doing this in person is the BEST method - is to set up a time to meet up with her. That's IT. Anything more and you go from being her potential suitor, to one of her girlfriends that she gets all chatty Cathy with.

She replies in 10 minutes and then have a couple of messages where her answers are super short 1-2 words..then asked her if i could give her a quick buzz to which she replied “kinda busy. Talk later.”
Mistake #10: WHY DID YOU ASK HER PERMISSION TO CALL?? You should have just called her up. If she didn't pick up or text you back AFTER you called and told you now isn't a good time, at least THEN you could have gotten the hint that she wasn't interested. I've said this before, but you have to be willing to not just read signals that indicate interest, but also the ones that show she's NOT interested. That way, you can recognize it and move on early instead of wasting your time chasing someone your ego thinks you can get.
In short: she's not interested. Don't wait around for her to get the hint that you like her - she knows, and she doesn't care. Learn from these mistakes and don't do them on the next girl. Hope this helps!
