Would a girl accept a phone call for a date after turning down a text (Can't ask in person)?

[Mike]

So let me explain the situation...I know a girl from a college class that I was in last semester and is now over. We talked a handful of times but I never got the chance to ask her out in person. I know it sounds lame but I was extremely busy with tons of things going on in my life during that time and it didn't enter my mind to ask her out until like the last week when it was too late. I'm mad at myself too because she was clearly interested in me and even invited me to a study group she was in once but I had to turn it down because I really had something else at the same time that I couldn't miss.

Anyway, now that the semester is over we are in a weird situation because she doesn't attend classes anymore but she still lives in the same town...so in other words I could still ask her out but I will never run into her on campus so I can't ask her in person. So I actually asked for her number on facebook and explained that I had so much going on I never had a chance to get to know her so I wanted to ask for her number to set up lunch sometime and she said "sounds good!" and gave me her number. So I thought everything was great and I texted her a few times just about things going on in her life and she always responded back quickly and then I finally decided to text her for lunch (since I couldn't see her in person I figured texting might be less awkward than calling) and she turned me down (she didn't say no but she kind of politely said she was too busy).

So now looking back I feel kind of dumb since all I did was facebook and text her like a middle school kid and also lunch might have been too strong. I'm thinking I will wait a week or two when she might be less busy and try calling her and maybe just ask her for coffee. Do you think I should do this or should I just give up?

I think if she was interested, she would have let you know. By saying to ask later or something.

Call or text. People rather be asked in person. In my experience (recent graduate) go for the lunch first and if everything is well then while at lunch ask her if she would like to attend dinner ______ (put in date).

You blew your chance and now she is not interested. She said she was too busy so calling her will not change that. You should have called instead of texting her to ask her out.

You can do it, starting with coffee is very simple and good idea. Re the text, though the reasons you mentioned seems convincing to you, don't forget the power of having verbal communication. It creates some kind of feeling better than the dry text and facebook messages.

if you're interested in her I don't think you should give up. She might've of really been busy or this might be her way of trying to play hard to get (us girls do that sometimes). I say continue to text her, be consistant, but don't be annoying with it like since ya'll haven't talked in so long have little conversations through text throught out the day but not all day. Just wait a while before you ask her out again but in the meanwhile don't think about it too much, if she's really interested she'll accept the date or show she's interested. Let her show her interest in you.
