Background:
Daygame cold approach, wearing a navy blue t-shirt, white shorts, white sneakers. Two set, walking opposite me talking excitedly. Short sexy black haired one (H) with beautiful pale skin on the right catches my eye immediately. I pass, and loop back, running up beside them.
Opened direct with the usual default (which I use if I can't think of anything else to comment on) "Hey, I know you're having a conversation and you're going to have to excuse me, but I saw you both walking by, and thought, you both looked fantastic (I say this so the friend doesn't feel ugly). But you (looking directly at H) are totally gorgeous. I had to come say something otherwise I was probably going to regret it".
Talked back and forth, found out they were catching up with each other for the first time in a year. When I found out they lived pretty close to each other I teased them about that.
I found out H's name - it was an uncommon colour which was interesting.
Tried getting closer to H but she was keeping her distance and staring me in the eyes while talking. We talked, joked around. Found out her friend lived where I did, so when I told them where I lived, H said to her friend "Looks like I'm going to be coming to [location] to visit you more often". When she said that I knew it was on - she would not have said this if she wasn't highly interested.
H was still pulling away and it looked like she wanted to leave. I told them that since they hadn't seen each other in a year, I wouldn't keep them too much longer, and then suggested we grab a drink at the awesome new rooftop that just opened up near me. I fumbled over this part because I was a bit nervous, and after stammering away a little H just straight up said "Do you want my number?". I said yes, took it and bit them farewell.
Texting and FU
Any thoughts on this? If I was to do this again I would have just gone with the flow and played the game by answering that day and not being too wordy. Waiting too long for a simple text that she made easy to respond to, and then my response being too long I think came across to her as "this isn't a guy I can have fun with", and that's what killed it.
This also happened last week (It's Wednesday now). I know it's 99% dead, but if anyone has any ideas for how I could possibly reengage her in a non-needy way (I was thinking about sending a voice or video note), I would really appreciate it.

B (9:17 pm): Hey H, it's Prince Charming (B)! Glad we got to link up earlier - save my number[Jokingly called myself that in the interaction]
H (11:04 pm): Hey it was nice meeting you earlier x
Saturday, Jan 9, 2021
H (9:09 am): Hey are you free for a drink next week? [She initiated. Good sign. I was typing a message when she sent this]
B (9:12 am): I was literally typing you a message when this popped up, haha.
B (9:13 am): I am! What's your schedule looking like?
H (9:16 am): Hahah no way!!
H (9:17 am): I've got a show on Thursday night and visiting my parents on Saturday. So does Friday work? [Setting aside her Friday, another good sign]
B (9:25 am): Yeah, was wondering how Thursday went and if you two had already made plans to meet up next year ;P
B (9:25 am): Cool, Friday works for me - why don't we lock that in and work out details over the week?
H (10:00 am): Laughed at “Yeah, was wondering how Thursday went and if you two had already made plans to meet up next year ;P ”
H (10:01 am): Friday it is!
H (10:05 am): I'm actually impressed you got my name right by the way
Sunday, Jan 10, 2021
B (9:30 am): That's impressive? You did say H like the colour so it would have been hard to mess up[started slowing down the texting here because I didn't want to get dragged into a week long text convo, but maybe this was actually my undoing. One problem I'm finding with the text sequence is the girls keep asking me questions over text "how was your day", blah blah. How do you answer their questions without getting roped into a long conversation? ]
H (10:10 am): You would think so but I get a lot of different names and variations
B (10:45 pm): I shouldn't be surprised, people
B (10:45 pm): (totally want to hear the best ones you've gotten though)
Tuesday, Jan 12, 2021
H (7:06 pm): Oh ok let's make a game out of this! I'll give you the top three names I get and you have to guess which name I get most often
H (7:07 pm): The top three names I get:
- [Name 1]
- [Name 2]
- [Name 3]
Wednesday, Jan 13, 2021
B (4:49 pm): I'm disappointed [over the top joke misspelling of her name] didn't make the cut. [could this have been insulting?]
B (4:50 pm): Ok, I thought it was [Name 1] before you corrected me but feel like that wouldn't be common. But the others are so wrong! I'm going to assume the worst - [Name 3] [Too wordy, feel I should have just guessed the name without the rest of it. I still tend to text like I talk in person. This is something Tony said I was doing, I still have trouble not doing it.
B (6:55 pm): Also, for Friday, what do you say we meet at the [Bar]l in [Location] at 7:00pm? There are a lot of cool places nearby that we can check out afterwards too, including that rooftop which is a short walk away. Let me know if that works! [Since it was Wednesday and the date was Friday, I wanted to make the suggestion now]
Friday, Jan 15, 2021
B (11:53 am): Hey H, happy Friday! Are you still on for drinks tonight?
