    Long story short.

    i met a girl when i went out for lunch over the weekend. she is a friend of a friend. we got on well and had a great chat. i got home and realised that i liked her and rang my friend to see if it was allright if i got her number and let her know that i had it.

    i text her the next day and she texted back so it went on for 2 texts each. On the third i asked her if she wanted to go out sometime soon. and she hasnt texted me back and thats since last night.

    any idea. is this a game or what?

    My guess is that you scared her off a bit - it seemed a bit quick to ask her out (I know sometimes that acting quickly can help; esp since you talked already; but I think it's not the case)

    I would suggest texting her apologising for being a bit forward and that you'd like to get to know her better.

    No, don't do that. If she wants to go out with you, she'll text back. I would suggest refining your texting in future though. So much easier to ask them out in person imo, you get a straight answer for one, you can make it more jokey and fun and you can gauge their non verbal language...also you should have gotten her number from her directly (ie just before you said goodbye after lunch) not from her mate - although in fairness, you only realised you liked her when she was gone. Ah well. Better luck next time dude. ;)

    I agree with others here, A guy should always be able to ask a girl out directly or even in a case via text if the timing is right. Asking a grl out not only a life lesson but it will stand to you in further encounters. It shows confidence, which for most girls Im sure is a good thing + what you have suggested may be a small bit overkill :)

    I think you did the right thing here. When you meet someone you like you have to make an effort. Sitting on the fence gets you nowhere. You weren't too forward. There are a lot of reasons why she mightn't have text back, and if you don't hear from her move on to the next one.
