Is there a way to recover from this auto-rejection?

I met a chic during lunch break while she was wandering slowly. Solid interaction and everything seemed like it went well. I had to return back to work and so exchanged numbers to meet later.
I wouldn't have thought it didn't go well until she didn't respond to my text. In retrospect, she said her English was not good but I reassured her saying "No, it's good. I understand you very well".
But as we continued talking, I just wanted to check if she was fine with me speaking fast and asked "Do you understand me well?" or something along those lines and she said "Yes".

After this point, she became quiet. I didn't pay much attention to it and left. I'm guessing she auto-rejected thinking her English isn't good. I read a few posts and articles but they pointed to one of these:
* giving her time - she's a traveller, leaving my city on Sunday.
* Preselection - I met her cold approaching. So can't do that
* Phone calls - I'm thinking this is a viable option but if she auto-rejected for the very reason that she can't speak in English very well. Would this work?
Any other ideas?

I'm not keen on investing my energy on flakes and girls who're not very compliant but I want to give this a go since she was super interested in the beginning and it would be a shame if I missed it for something as silly as this and she was super hot too.

A bit unusual that she would auto reject after a simple question like that, unless you were really brusque or serious about it. It might be that you asking that kind of question after a conversation where there seemed to be no obstacle made her sort of go 'wtf?' and took her out of the bubble.

If you think she's reacted negatively to something you said in a way that doesn't make sense, or even when there's been a bit of a blunder, I find it helps to draw the topic out a bit so that any unspoken context can be sorted out and everything smoothed over. For example you could just start talking about the experience of living in a place where the language isn't your first language, or whatever. It creates a way for her to bring up anything that bothers her, understand what your intent was, and also builds a bit of rapport.

One line i tried I used in the past for auto rejection when she gets really cold was something along the lines of "look like we kind of drifted apart and it feels weird cuz i enjoyed spending time with you"

I read it one of @Chase articles. I can't remember which. Maybe he can chime in if he remembers which one

But that line works I'd say 98% of the time

Good stuff. I haven't yet tried it on the girl in question but on a different chic from a couple days ago and it worked!

I'll try this with the girl in OP tomorrow, since I texted her only yesterday. If she gets back, she's easier to seduce than the other one who responded since she was super compliant throughout except for that one glitch. Let's see.

Alright, good luck
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake

Ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! I recently wound up with a non native Asian girl who spoke some english but with really minor mistakes, you could tell it wasn’t her first language.

I found myself making it really easy to communicate, dumbing down my own language, and speaking in ways similar to her, repeating myself and being patient about it when she needed it. I had to match her alot on the verbal level.

Despite that I kind of gassed her own english skills because I could tell she was insecure about it. To be fair it’s genuinely impressive to me how people can come to places they aren’t native to and speak/ let alone understand languages that aren’t native to them.

But ya she was insecure about it similar to your girl, I can’t really tell you anything to come back from that point where they feel like you just won’t be able to understand them, but avoiding that point altogether for me came down to being patient/ not bringing it up in a negative light. “I cant get over how good your english is” vs “am I speaking too fast for you”

Which can be taken in a condescending way if the delivery isn’t on point, and ESPECIALLY if it isn’t their native language and can only be taken very literally without nuance.
