Well OT can speak for herself but I mean that you have asked her several times if you could see her this weekend or when you can go out again and she has clearly told you she is completely busy. That means you have to wait at least a week until she is not as busy to mention it again - otherwise you are being too persistent. It's like a kid who asks the parent for something, the parent says no then they ask the other parent or ask again.

It might be that she is just really busy (understandable with her new job, babysitting etc - heck first week after Labour Day is crazy/busy for most people). Or it might mean that she is happy to have a Phone Friend (even if it is just texting).

You are making it clear that you love the texting but that you are not content with that and want more. Even if she also wants more (which we're not sure of at this point) - you might drive her away by pushing for more. And this is why everyone is telling you to Relax and Go Easy which you acknowledge then the next post tells us different.

Don't be your own worst enemy. I remember my own first Post D R. I felt exactly as you do. It is so easy to get totally caught up in after feeling crummy and unloved for so long. But you can't make the new person your whole world or they'll forget the fun and interesting person that first caught their eye. It also helps to not tell EVERYTHING. Keep some surprises.Some info to yourself. That keeps things fresh.

Have you read Mars and Venus on a Date? I learned a lot from it and also "The Rules of Dating" which was a bit archaic to me but just the general suggestions (like waiting on replies to text/email/phone calls even if you have to sit on your hand or not being available EVERY time the other person called). We all want what we can't have. It sounds like MM could be playing by the rules and has you completely wrapped around her finger just by texting OR that she is interested in friendship or a mild flirtation and in the early days it is impossible to tell. Because she might not even know how she feels.

So - once again. GO EASY!
