Hi I met on e harmony this really cool girl, we made it to the email part of the communication and start interchanging email and we had a nice communication , we wrote each other every day for close to a month then i ask for her phone number and she gave it to me no problem there, so i text her on a Friday and we text each other for a while and i ask if she wants to meet for coffee or something, casual so there would be no pressure, but that weekend she was going to be really busy with work, no problem there, after the weekend (on Monday) I text her again and we text each other for a little while, casual conversation, but she was still at work so I let her finish her day I knew she had a rough weekend, until here is cool, so that Wednesday I text her and she replied but this time the answers were shorter i ask her if she wants to talk or something but this time she told me she was at her friends house but if it was not too late when she left there she would text me so we could talk, no messages, i decided to lay of the text for a couple of days and today Sunday I text her "hey how are you doing?" never receive an answer , so i don`t know if i should text her tomorrow, in a few days or simply let it go and move on, the last would be a real shame since she is the only girl since i became a member (2 months) that i have like and talk like we did on e harmony before i ask for the number and started to talk less, i really want to know better this girl, but i want to respect if she dosen`t want to keep communicating.
if somebody has an advice i`m all ears, ladies what you think?
If you find this person worth the risk (which is itself a risk), I suggest sending a clear invitation to a meeting (which she does not deserve), involving a specific time, date, and place. If she does not accept, eagerly, do not waste more effort.
call her. you (imo) appear to lack confidence when you are unwilling to call and ask her out.
enough with the email and texting. if you want to move it foward, do as the frogman says, ask her out with specific plan. do not say, "hey, do you want to go out sometime."
do say, "let's me for coffee next Tuesday." or something similar.

I think that's the longest sentence I've ever read on EHA...
You asked her for her phone number, you did not ask to text her.
Forget with the texting!!! If you want to go out pick up the phone and ask her out. Give her a specific date, time and activity. None of this wishy washy "or something" stuff.
If she accepts then you have at least got a first date. If she declines without putting forth an alternate date, time and / or activity then just let her go.
Also go for meeting sooner than later. I would suggest by about the end of the first week of e-mail communication you should have set up a first date.
thanks a lot, i`m new to this all internet dating thing so i don`t really now the protocols, just got tired of the casual dating and i`m looking for something more substantial. I`ll just give her a call if she want to go out cool, if she doesn`t so be it .
