background:
-met her through a social circle/some mutual friends
-saw each other at some of their homeparties but I never did pursue her cuz I was busy with other girls
-then at the last homeparty talked to her for a while got her number and set up a coffee date.
-went on a date with her, vibed pretty well and just some light touching ; didnt wanna force anything (then again maybe I should have) since these social circle things can get weird if you mess it up too much cuz you gonna see her again

text exchange after date: (didnt include screenshots because texts are in german so just a translation here)

me: i had a pretty good time on thursday, are you down to meet up again some time?

her: me as well :) but I like you way too much and I love "female friend", we can't mess this up now and then everything will be awkward. I got a bunch of things ony mind currently with moving into a new apartment and so on. Besides you are way too great of a guy and I dont wanna be an asshole.

me: Sure, I know what you mean. No pressure, I just find you cute. Just would be a shame to let something good go by. I think we are both mature enoguh to not make things awkward.

her: I am :). Probably yes, but what if not, then it really sucks.
me: I would just approach it totally laid-back, no expectations.
her: Then I'm relieved :)

after that we just exchanged some texts here and there. I didnt immediately go for trying to set up another meet up after text exchang since it could have come as over eager.
now not sure whether try setting up another date or just leave it be and take the L ? (sorry for the long post, and hope the translations make sense haha)

A problem I see a lot is guys going for another date way too soon. If you mention having a good time after the date and in the same sentence try to go for another, then its way too soon. Let it sit. A week or so at least before trying another close. Regardless, this could either be an excuse for her or a genuine concern. Its hard for me to tell without seeing the entire text conversation. Probably won't hurt to try to push for a soft close (at the right time), then try to close something, assuming you play your cards right and do it the right way, then see what happens.

I mean there were a couple of days between the date and my "had a good time" text, but I know what you mean
