    Hi all

    I met a girl through a friend and we kissed on a few nights out. I decided to ask for her number and we went on a date (drinks and food), she seemed very keen and i think i do like her. We left it saying we would meet up again and we texted a couple of times a few days later but when i asked her if she would like to meet up again i didn't hear anything back (that was a week and a half ago).

    Now i've asked my friend who introduced us but she said she doesn't really talk about that stuff and i know she is really busy and can be really bad at texting back people. Just wondering if people would wait and see what happens, just forget it and move on or try get in touch once more? I know people say if someone doesn't get back to you move on, and it's not like i've been hung up on it or anything just want to see if anyonne has any advice.

    Thanks for reading.

    I personally don't believe in chasing girls to end of the earth. If I ask them out and they don't respond or give some waffly "maybe next week" statement, I just smile and let them think I'm going along with it and the millisecond I'm away from them, I just put them out of my mind, delete numbers and just move on.

    I operate a "reject them before they reject you" policy. Plus I don't like to look like an idiot or some puppy running after them. If they're not smart enough to say yes :D I just look for someone else who is ;)

    Call her and ask her if she would like to meet up.I may get loads of texts and keep meaning to get back but dont. Phone calls are different.

    Give it a few days, give her the chance to get back to you before calling her. If you're gonna call her to ask her out again, ask her if she wants to go to the cinema or dinner. Don't just ask her "Do you want to go out again?"

    Then if she says she's really busy or whatever, you can let it go knowing you tried.

    I wouldn't go that far. In perspective ask her out again and dont leave it too late that she will have made other plans.

    Don't take it personally if the answer is no as sometimes the time is not right for loads of reasons out of your/her control. Her cat may be sick or her ma may have fleas (or is it the other way around)

    Even if she does say no -its only a date and say hey I am going to ask someone else out.
