Should I send one more message or is this too far gone?
Thanks in advance for reading this. Two weeks ago, I ran into a girl who I made out with a few years ago. It was her and her friend and then me, my friend, and his girlfriend. She invited us over to her house around the corner from the bar. We all drank more and her and we made out a couple times (she initiated the first time) and then she stopped it and told me that we need to go on a date before anything else happens. Maybe I didn’t build enough attraction or she genuinely isn’t the type of girl to drunkenly hook up on the first date, who knows. This was on Saturday, 04/25
I reached out the next day (Sunday, 04/26) and sent her a cute pic we took followed by
Me: *cute pic* Great running into ya last night. Let’s go off-roading up to a sweet spot I know of on Wednesday.
Her: Great to see you too. My grandparents are in town for my brothers graduation this week so I think I’m spending a lot of time with them and doing dinner Wednesday at my dads
Me: No worries. I leave town for a work trip on May 8th. Sounds like it’ll be easier to make it happen the week before I leave. Let’s shoot for that?
Her: Yes that would be better my grandparents leave after this week
Her: Did you stay in the guest room last night?
Me: I ubered back home. Nothing like waking up in your own bed
Her: That’s so fair it is nice to be in your own bed
I reach out 4 days later (Thursday, 04/30) to try and make plans.
Me: Let’s get something on the calendar for next week. How does [restaurant] on Monday evening sound?
I wait 3 days (Saturday, 05/02) and hit her with this
Me: Don’t think too hard now
And here’s where I may have screwed up. Another 3 days later (Tuesday, 05/05), I reached out with this.
Me: Hope ya survived the crazy week with the grandparents in town/graduation
I was originally going to use the takeaway “I honestly didn’t take you for the flakey type” instead of the last message I ended up going with, but it felt like it could land too harsh and come off inconsiderate of her grandparents in town and family graduating. I am not sure if that was correct or not. At this point, I am 3 messages deep without a reply and I am unsure if there’s still a shot. This girl is very much my type. I’d love your input on if this is salvageable or if I’d just look like a gaylord for sending a 4th. There’s also a decent chance I’ll run into her out on the town since we go to similar bars. Should I send one last message. Maybe some takeaway? If so, when should I and what should I say?

So yes you definitely should have used a takeaway iin your last message. There are other textiing mistakes i saw along the way, like skippiing the soft close and just suboptiimal closing in general. Are you using FireTexts? cause it would help with all that
If you run into this girl here and there then i would prob avoid messaging her again. Tryiing to turn it around iin person is prob your best bet

Good to know. I will shoot for that. The closing did feel like I got a bit lazy with it. I’ll have to rewatch your video on closing. I do use FireTexts when I’m stumped and it’s helpful. I should have used it at the end. Thanks a bunch for replying to me and taking the time to read this. It’s very cool of you to offer this forum up for free
