texting post-date... is she still interested?

[mindful]

I went on a date with this girl the middle of last week. It probably lasted an hour and a half... longer than my usual dates lol. The conversation flowed well and she talked a lot and I also talked more than usual. I couldn't get a good read on whether she was really into me or not. The only clue was when we were talking about different comedians and she mentioned she would have to show me this one she was talking about sometime... implying a future meet. When we left the bar i didn't really push too hard for her to come back to my apt, it was 9PM and she had to be in bed for work by 10:30PM. She actually came to the date still i her work clothes. This has been the first date in a while where I haven't gotten a girl back to my place so I wasn't too thrilled about the possibility of seeing her again.

Anyways, here is the brief text convo that took place afterwards.She did NOT text me after the date, I texted her the next day. Please note, I told her during the date I was going to be gone this coming weekend.

me: Hey XXX Last night was fun, I had a great time. Hope you did too.
her: Hey! It was good getting to know you! (8 hrs later, work?)
me: I'll be gone for the weekend soon but we should get together next week sometime! (responded the following day)
her: Have a good weekend! (8 hrs again)

I didn't think she was interested after her first text and was surprised she sent the second, what do you guys think?

Thanks. I only said that because I didn't want there to be a big gap inbetween when I was going to text / plan a meetup again. I've been gone thurs-sun. But yeah, I don't think she's interested either I knew it came off too platonic because I didn't push things but I don't like kissing girls on a first date if we aren't isolated or at a place where sex can occur.

Also, in a situation like this... What would you guys do for a second date? Does it make sense to do another drink at a bar? Sometimes I just invite a girl over to my place and that usually weeds them out or if they are still interested they might suggest meeting at another public place.

Thanks. Yeah I've read that article but never really experience second dates too much nor do I try them unless i know the girl really wants to see me again.

One other thing, lately I've been suggesting date spots and girls have been countering my spot, which is literally right near my apt and is where I usually take the majority of my dates. I have a date this Monday and the girl countered and the place is 30 mins away from me, I think more near her... I haven't decided if I wanna go yet. The logistics aren't in my favor unless she lives close. However... I already know she works a lot and thus doesn't do relationships so it is perfect for a casual fling. I was gonna counter her and try to get her to meet somewhere closer, maybe 15 mins away. Is this a good idea or should I just go where she suggested?

Wow thanks man, this is super useful.

just a follow up, I reached out to this girl asking when she is free this week and she came back with a lengthy response that basically said she only wanted to be friends. Was cool she was honest, as most chicks wouldn't be. On to the next
