So I met a pretty cool girl the past Friday. She gave me her number and she insisted that I call her. I've called twice now (Saturday & Sunday) and both times she sent back texts indicating she was busy. The tones of them were apologetic for being unable to return the call, and it seemed she was genuinely interested in getting in touch eventually. Today I simply just sent a text, not wanting to get sent to voicemail again, asking her a convenient time to call, and no response all day.

Should I give up on this? I don't know if it's worth the effort of calling a third time if she's really not interested (strange considering how we were interacting in person, plus why would she send back texts anyway? But it happens I guess). Any thoughts?

 Is she married ? ? ? ? To quote you.... " it happens."

Yep, you've totally got to let this go not only if you want to have a chance for something to develop but for yourself.

You called once, that was enough. The ball was in her court at that point. You win some, you lose some.

Who knows, she might think of you in a few weeks and call. Maybe she just didn't feel like starting up with a stranger right then. But you only make yourself look desperate and low status if you contact her again before she contacts you.

And if she does contact you, don't sound like you're out of this world excited. Just act like it's no big deal. And after you've talked with her a while, you be the one to end the conversation because you've got to "get some things done" or you're "going to meet some friends."

I'm not saying you should do that with every chick you're around, but I think with this one, if she ever calls, you've got to if you want a chance.
