Can I recover from this dumb text that I sent?

I cold approached a girl recently and took her on an instant date. It went fairly well since I was not in my best form. I sent her an ice-breaker text the same day but she didn't respond. After 2 days, I sent the date text to which she responded and agreed. I did a BIG unnecessary dumb mistake of trying to tease her over text which I intuitively knew I shouldn't do but some stupid part of me forced me to send it. The moment I hit send I knew I fucked it up and as expected she left me on read. I know my text came across as butt-hurt instead of lighthearted tease about bad texter. I'm beating myself up all day long. Is there any remote chance of recovering from this?

Probably not. From now on don't throw walls of texts at girls like that. Like your first messages contains 4 elements: A ping, talking about how you are doing (she didnt ask you how you were doing btw), a soft close and a hard close. Really bad. I have fucked girls that didn't reply to my icebreaker, but it is usually not a good sign.

When i send an icebreaker which could be like "Hey again, HB :) -Phoenix" or "*wave guy waving emoji* -Phoenix" or "Hey HB, was cool meeting you, have fun/good luck/get home safe with/from your blahblahblah -Phoenix". The emoji and your name or something like "Hey! -yourname" is good because it is low investment so you can gauge her interest and if she doesnt reply to my short icebreaker like that then i can ping her the day after with "So how did it go" or "Hope you got home safe from your powerwalk ;)" or whatever. If i still hear nothing i delete the number. Give her the benefit of the doubt, but more than that and she already received your messages and is just too immature to tells you off and hope you would just disappear from this planet so she can have peace. Fun story, i number closed a girl from my building while we were doing laundry and she started ghosting me which is so funny because we literally live the same place and will see eachother so she just made it super awkward. I really couldn't care less but you start to question whether some women even have a brain sometimes. :D

Anyways, last resort, try calling her tomorrow night (sunday night) or send her a voicemail where you polarize her to make a decision i.e. "Hey HB, i think you are a really cool and sweet girl and would love to meet you and see if we have chemistry, but if you are not interested in that, it is okay, then i won't contact you anymore". Something like that.

But she might reach out like she basically suggested meeting next week, that could be a sign of interest. Anyways, try what i said out sunday night if you hear nothing.

I sent her an ice breaker text which she didn't respond to and I just didn't include that in the screenshot above
