Anyway I called her--she didnt pick up so I left a message saying call me back.
Theres one mistake right there. You should have really left message saying something like "Hey I'm free on.... we should do something. I'll call you later".
A lot of people on this board disagree with texting to arrange dates. Maybe its a different thing where I live but I have been very sucussful through text. Although... don't arrange the details of the date, just the time.

Her: Why in (city)? I mean I'll be working at a golf tourney there, but still
Me: Cuz I haven't been at that bowling alley in hecka long haha
Her: Oh we are bowling? Lol
Me: Yes, are you any good HB?
Her: Lol I'm like so pro.
Me: Oh im pretty terrible, youll have to help me out
Me: With your "pro" skills haha
Her: Oh dang it, I can't help you. Lol I'm terrible too. I was hoping you'd be good so I could copy you. Haha
Me: Oh your just trying to show off for me then? Tsk now we'll have two terrible bowlers
Her: Lol well if my two friends come, that's four
Me; GOODNIGHT BlTCH (by I didnt really say this, I just politely said I was gonna pass out if I kept the convo going....was like 11:00 at night)
^^ That "oh am terrible at bowling, you need to help me out" is the sort of thing to say AT the bowling ally.
I could have arranged that within 2/3 messages. Heres an example of my a previous chick I met in a bar:
"Hey its Duracell, we met the other night at....How did the rest of your night go?"
"Hey, was... blah blah blah. Hbu?"
"Yeah...(some random comical moment, maybe teasing her over what she said). I'm free Wedsnesday night, lets go for a drink"
"Going for a drink sounds good. I finish work at 7pm, can do anytime after 8?"
"sure"
- cut contact - Received random texts in meantime, ignored most and kept brief.
Called her up on the day of the date to arrange. Job done.
Similar situation but was a second date with a different chick.
Called her up and left a message saying "Enjoyed meet you on Sunday. We should so something again this weekend. I'll call you tommorow". I missed her call back, she left a text of
"Yeah that sounds good. Are you free Saturday evening?"
"9pm?"
"Sounds great"
Again, no contact. Called on day to arrange specifics.
