Joined up here about 5 years ago after a bad break up and just recently started actually trying to date again as asides to just hook-ups. So I'm pretty out of whack when it comes to reading situations, I feel like I'm pretty much ready to bail on my first dating experience here but I do like her so just wanted some thoughts on whether it was worth persisting.
We went on three great dates, had a ton of fun, kissed each time, held hands while walking from place to place. It was a really fast and meaningful connection. Then she came over about a week ago to hang out, we slept together. Everything seemed fine, I drove her home we said see you soon etc.
After this her texting has dropped noticeably, she told me last week she was overwhelmed by the week and apologized for the slow replies. She had to cancel plans with friends and she rescheduled on the day we had planned to meet up again. No problem. After that I texted her but didn't get a reply until 4 days later (my birthday) when she wishes me happy birthday and apologized for MIA, says she's been feeling 'off'. The rest of the text is kinds cutesy, makes me feel like ok she's still interested. I respond thank you and it was nice to hear from you, I hope everything is going a bit better than earlier in the week, would like to see you again soon etc
Haven't heard from her since. I'm kinda feeling as though if she was interested enough she would find time in almost 48 hours to get back to me. She hasn't outright said I'm the problem or she doesn't want to see me again or anything like that, but I don't really feel very valued by the way things have progressed and it's kind of bumming me out to not get the same level of enthusiasm I was at the start.
Should I ask her to be straight up about how she's feeling regarding me, should I just delete her number and move on, should I keep waiting and hoping?
