Default confused situation with a girl at mozunk

So this girl I've been talking to lately is sending me mix messagesat best online dating site that is mozunk. How we met was a bit out of the norm I would say. We first met in a lab class last semester and the thing was she approached meon mozunk . The problem there was that I was really shy to even ask for her number. We didn't really get to know each other well that time too but just enough to know names and a few interest during class. So the semester ended with me not getting her number.

Come this semester, we got the same class again and she found me! Our class was huge so I guess I wasn't aware she was even in it. This was about a week into the start of classes for the semester. So this time, I'm telling myself I better make a move this time because I felt she was kind of interested in me since she was doing all the approaching. Well turned out I ended dropping the class and when I did, she randomly sent me a short e-mail just saying hi see you in class. She got my e-mail address from last semesters lab class.

Here was where my dilemma was, I knew I should have just met her up and asked if we should hang out but I chickened out again. I did get her number from an e-mail though. So a few days later I called her and basically we talked for a good 40 minutes or so and I ended up the conversation without even asking for a date!

So I text messaged her asking if she wanted to have some lunch sometimes and I just got messages about her being busy all weekend and what not so I figured that I lost her interest already. I sent an e-mail later on just asking how she was doing in class and she basically responded back and said she's free Wednesday before 5pm. So yesterday I gave her a call with the intention of wanting to set up a date today for lunch and apparently she was really busy or something and the phone cut off (probably her end). So this time I sent a text message back asking if she wanted to get lunch today with no reply.

So I think I pretty much messed up this chance to get together and need some advice from you all on my situation here. Should I be more persistent or cut my losses and move on?

Sorry for long post didn't know how to get the message out any shorter!

edit: a little background on myself, I haven't been in a relationship for a long time, over 3 years. I haven't even been on a date for that long too (I know, very unhealthy) I guess my past relationship affected me emotionally and mentally. Trying to just improve and I am inexperienced in the whole dating thing.

You give up to easily and you lack self confidence.

There are several indications in your post that she is interested in you and you keep placing emphasis on the negative, rather than the positive aspects of her responses.

Keep at it until you get a definite date set up..just wait a couple of days in between your attempts so you don't come across as desperate.

It seems like she likes you.

You're quite hesitant about jumping in but when you do jump in you're not smooth enough.

I would not text her to ask her out. In a few days, call her with the intent of chatting for no more than 1-2 minutes and then ask her out. You must have a specific date/time for the date..

Be prepared for the following scenarios:

* She says yes (easy). Tell her you'll call her back on the day of the date to confirm that you are picking her up at her place. Then, end the conversation right away.

* She says no, she's busy, and doesn't offer any other possibility. Tell her that's great - she can call you if she wants to hang out. Hang up. She probably won't call you and I'd move on.

* She says no, she's busy but offers you an alternative. It might be tough to do but I'd personally say no, suggesting that you'll call her back next week when you are less busy. Hang up.

Do not send text messages at this stage.

Instead of thinking about making a move and being nervous about it, you should just smile, be charming and make her laugh.

Thanks for the advice! I updated the original post for the full story but I'm going to give it a few days to call back because I don't want to give her the feeling that I'm needy or desperate. And I'll try to be more confident hehe.

It's not unhealthy to go a long period of time without a relationship.

Just give it time, but don't act too much upon that you really want to date her.

You should of called back and asked, "hey so that date?"

Just give her one last call and say "hey its been hard to get lunch with you, are you free anytime soon?"

It's just you can't be coming off too desperate, its almost at this point you have to let her make the move, unless she could of been thinking that you lost interest.

Yeah I know now. I've had a few relationships end really bad and I took it too personal. It really made an impact on me in the long run since 3 years is a long time lol. Pretty much lost my confidence and dignity. So I'm just starting to get back on the road after finally breaking out of my shell.
