I met a girl I like.. this is weird

This is such a weird feeling because I met a girl I actually like. I didn't think I would find someone after my first love... very excited that I've made so much progress. Even if this doesn't work out it still tells me that I have made a ton of progress and my heart is opening up to others. Very positive!

Anyways here's the scoop.. we met last Thursday at my work, I work at a restaurant and I ended up getting off early and hanging out with her until 4am... we kissed etc.. the chemistry was honestly unreal.. I had a buddy of mine say you could literally cut the chemistry with a knife and he hadn't seen that in a long time. He went on to say "it was very cool to see"... we've been texting back and forth a bit but I'm really not feeling like it's going anywhere over text specifically... feels a bit linear (because well.. that's what texting is) but I told her a little while ago that I was going to get a few things done and go to the pool but that "I'd be back in a bit"...

She read it but did not respond. Should I text her back? Or what... idk what to do.

Thank you for any advice.

Kinda getting back into the swing of texting a girl like this haha.

Your text didn't require a response. Feel free to re-initiate with another text.

Ask her out before all the dead end texting kills the spark. She may be wondering why you didn't ask her to hit the pool with you. Just a thought...

I would check out coach Corey Wayne. She sounds totally interested so just let her reach out and set dates when she does. No long drawn out texting convos.
