I went to a dance last night that this group I'm a part of hosted. I noticed this really cute girl there when I arrived and saw her talking to another girl I know from the group. I walked over to them and it turns out that they're friends. I didn't get to talk to her much at that point because the two of them were in the midst of gossiping and I had no clue what they were talking about. Later on in the night, during the dance, I got partnered with her for one portion of the session. I was cracking jokes and had her laughing etc. We switch partners every so often so everyone has a chance to meet different people. When I was dancing with the next girl, I glanced over at her a few times and she caught me glancing over.
The guy she was dancing with ended up asking her out and I overheard her reject him. He asked for her number and she said something to the extent of I'm sorry but I'm not looking for anything like that right now. Anyways, after the first portion of the dance was over we all took a break and were just hanging out. I was hanging with this girl and her friend. 90% of the conversation was the two of us getting to know each other. Afterwards, we played this game where two people start dancing and when the music stops, you grab someone from the audience to dance with. The game goes on until everyone is dancing. I volunteered to be the first guy on the dance floor. When the music stopped, I immediately went for the girl I liked.
We danced and then after the game was over, I went up to her and asked for her number. I told her if she's interested I'd love to take her to this restaurant that we were talking about earlier in the night. She said she would be and gave me her number. Fast forward, and I texted her once I got home so she has my number and to pick up our convo from in person. We're closing in on 24 hours since I sent that message and I haven't heard back…
I'm kind of at a loss right now… I heard her reject the other guy who asked for her number but then she didn't reject me? I imagined that meant she was interested in me but I guess not? I know people do this all the time where they give someone their number just to get them off their back and end up ghosting but in this case why wouldn't she have just rejected me like she did the other guy? Furthermore, I know her friend and see her somewhat often so it's not like I'm a complete stranger. When I see her friend in a few week, I can just ask her what happened. Idk I'm kind of at a loss here…
