This went south so fast; need help

I guess she REALLY didn’t like coffee. I would’ve suggested drinks, but she said earlier that she doesn’t drink. Now I have no idea what to do. This came out of nowhere and over such a trivial matter. We’d been chatting for days up until this point, and things had been going great. Is there any way to salvage this, or is she just nutty and this is doomed?

Yeah, I realize that in hindsight a lot of what I sent wasn’t ideal, especially that last text. I was able to salvage it by saying something similar. Taking a few hours to think rather than replying within minutes made all the difference in the world. I do appreciate the feedback, especially since I’m very new to text game. Out of curiosity, is using the laughing emoji bad in general, or just in this context? And if it is bad in general, what should I do to convey I’m being lighthearted about something, or is that not necessary at all?

Don't ever use the emoji; you can convey everything with words. Your own message was lighthearted enough on its own.

Personally, there are only two emojis I use:

The "Sly" emoji - Used when you say something that isn't overtly sexual, but you want her to interpret it that way.
The "Angel" emoji - Used when you say something that she will probably take in a sexual context, but you want to downplay that aspect.
