Met this girl the other week, we ended up at the same table in a cafe and hit it off pretty good, we hugged and exchanged phone #s and afterwards I texted her and she texted back that it was "awesome to meet you the other day!" I txted back, wanna go on a date tomorrow? and hasn't heard back since. Any advice in this situation?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

No benefit will come from chasing the response. You just wait it out. If it takes her a while to respond then take a while too, longer even. If she had a high interest level she would get back to you quickly. She may just have needed the attention injection. Wait and see mate; nothing you can do.
You're right parkthebus, waiting is the only thing. It's just so hard to be in suspense about this cause I really liked this girl and want to know if I should just forget her. This has happened to me before, I met a girl at a bar, later asked her out and no response. After a week however I got a text from her asking if I wanted to party.. Just struggling to comprehend why some girls do this... But waiting is the way to go

For you're own sense of self, begin the search for another. Genuine knowledge that you have other good soil to be fertalizing will make you care a lot less about this girl. It's one think to think "plenty more fish in the sea"; but its all together different to FEEL it. Confidence and overall happiness come from emotions, not rationale.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I generally find that women take time to "think" after you invite them out on a date via text. There are times where I've had to wait 24 hours for a response. NEVER push for an answer. Throw the ball in her court and let her figure it out for herself. I usually get an affirmative response.
Remember, it has nothing to do with her IL being too low. All women have a very volatile IL at the beginning of any relationship. They need to "sort through their feelings" or figure out how to handle the other guys who are wanting to fvck her. Eventually she may feel guilty for making you wait too long and agree to your offer.

You asked her out she has to respond. You have to wait for this, if she ignores your invite, you miss read her interest level... move on. This is why I NEVER ask out a woman over text. Call her up and ask her in person, you'll get your answer then and there no waiting around for her to respond.

You might've acted too hastily I think.
Maybe taken the time to get to know her a lil over text, before saying hey lets meet up.
But then that's me, some DJs may use a different approach.

1, You asked her out the very next day after meeting her which signals neediness.
2. You told her to go on a 'date' with you, which signals you want to marry her and have children. lol.
3. She has a dozen other guys to choose from.
Do not text her again unless she replies. Text her again if you want to confirm you're desperate.

Here's the deal: You have no control over the outcome. The ball is in her court. She is now measuring you up to her other offers, including her personal trainer. I'd just start seeing another girl if I were you. She may have just wanted some attention that her boyfriend wasn't giving her. Don't text her again until 11 days later unless you want to show desperation (or if you do, text her you started dating a better woman.)
It's all about her interest level in you. I won't use the celebrity maxim here, but having a woman into you until you ask her out, then she starts running away? Bad sign. She's upset knowing she's gonna lose a source of attention, but will be over it when she gets railed by that male gym rat.
Erase and replace this girl. Replacing this girl may be a chore, but if you can actually replace her, not just erase her, you'll be all better.
Case closed.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
