''Even though we've barely exchanged text I'm thinking of saying something along the lines of "no worries let's get off this app shoot me your number"
Exactly what i would do, she will probably ''forget'' to respond on the app again and the more time passes, the less likely she will remember you, so just try to get her number.

''isn’t back again until later this year'' Be mores specific, that is a big window, but regardless of that i would not text a lot since it seems that it is going to take a while until you can meet her, so your object should be to keep her interested until she is back, especially since you said you have a communicating (language barrier) issue.

Try this video of Alex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrZlFE200cc , it is about keeping leads warm.

For the language part, i would say keep using the translator, probably your best shot or learn portugese.

Good, then we should move from "thinking" to "doing". 😏

UPDATE: So far she did not text back, i went with a ,, Ah, a woman of many words i see" 2 days ago, should i keep trying or count my losses ?

Should have been more clear on the "ONS" part, she changed her opinion after the ONS and when i said give me your number she said :,, I am surprised you even want it, i thought you think i am weird" (banter + push pull), when she dropped me off she also said :,,Hit me up when you are going out again" so i think she is invested especially since i mostly got her compliance in our conversations .

''You can find out on our hot date 😏''

UPDATE 2
She replied on whatsapp with:,, Hello who are you ? I am seeing your number, but i don't know it."
I assume there was some problem with her phone so she got no message trough txt or whatsapp.
What to do next ?
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

UPDATE
Texted her yesterday again, but on whatsapp, checked today and it still only shows 1 tick, meaning the text never got sent to her and i checked her profile pic and all (to make sure i am not blocked), and there seems to be no block from her.
I mean she even called herself and it showed my number on the display.
Maybe my initial txt didn't get to her either.
She has an iphone btw and had some problems with her apple id in the club btw, maybe some apple fuckery ?
Anyone who knows about this problem or had a similsr one ?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

That backfired hard, she responded :,, Excuse me ?", don't know if she is confused or irritated.
Any advice ?
