if you give a guy your number at the grocery store/coffee shop, how quickly do you expect him to...

...text you back?

Met a woman at a grocery store saturday early evening, we chatted, i told her we should continue this over drinks sometime - she says sure, here's my number....
i text her the next evening saying 'hey it's larlo from last night at the grocery store..good weekend?...let's meet up for drinks sometime on weds or thurs".

no response.

a friend of mine said i should've texted her later on saturday night and by sunday evening it was too late.

I don't think you waited too long. She might be busy or might've changed her mind. It's no big deal though, it's just stemming from one conversation.

Do you really want to start a relationship with someone who refuses to return a text to a guy who texted outside of some arbitrary window she set up and didn't tell him about? If that's why she's refusing to text back, imagine all the other hoops you'd have to jump through throughout the relationship.

I don't think you waited too long. It was the weekend. It's nuts if she expected an immediate convo. If she's seriously pissed about this, she seems unhinged enough that she'd be nuts to date. Consider yourself lucky.

But if you're the hot DILF who shops at Whole Foods on River Road w/ no wedding band, I'm available.

call don't text

Text her every 10 minutes until she responds. Sprinkle a few dick pics (with good lighting) into the mix.

Call and if you get her VM then leave a light and friendly message. I would mention sending a text and on the outside chance it didn't get through I thought I would give you a quick call. I enjoyed our time at the market and was sincere about getting together for a drink and spend some time continuing. Hope all is well and to hear from you when you have a moment. Keep it simple and brief. If she doesn't get back to you let it go. There could be a lot more going on with her that has nothing to do with you.

Enjoyable!

So it's Wednesday...

She didn't text back?

[Anonymous]

Could be she's just not that into you. Giving your her number was best way to handle your unexpected request and she didn't think fast enough to provide a fake one.

Definitely send a dick pic.

Timing was,right but truth is she isn't interested. Sometimes it's just easier to give a number rather than seem rude and say no. How do you know she even gave you her real number? I've done this before it's easy - guy thinks he scored and well sorry the number I gave you isn't going to text back.

Jesus, do you think there are no other women in the world?

Do more approaches, get more numbers, and then you won't care if any of them flake because there are more in the pipeline.

There must be something creepier than that he can do.

Texting the next day is actually pretty quick, in my opinion.

You might get a lot of women here insisting it's rude not to respond as quickly as possible, but this is bad advice. Responding too quickly seems desperate.

As other posters have mentioned, she may not be interested. I would just assume this is the case and keep looking.
