Right now, I feel the ball is in your court. And it may be short lived. So pay attention.
DO NOT TEXT HER AGAIN. Go out on your ride in the morning, clear your head, and if it feels right, go to the party. But IF IT DOESN'T, DON'T GO. And DO NOT send a text explaining why you didn't, etc.
Be a little mysterious, and on a personal note that is none of my business, I hope you will be too BUSY with GAL to attend the party, YES, even after you texted and said you would be there.
It may be the very thing that drives her to wonder where you are, and who you are with, and WHO COULD POSSIBLY BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN HER?
But if that doesn't happen, then so be it. You ARE NOT having other, more important plans, b/c of her, but b/c of YOU. Your life is so full, you don't have time to work this party in.... hopefully you see what I'm saying, with all my heart...... but do what is right for you.
I just feel like I need to talk, since I posted my heart out today, and no one has responded yet, but I know how this board goes.... if your sitch is not interesting or urgent, people tend to sit back and just read but not respond, but they have no idea what a response would mean to you.
Just sayin, I know how you feel, and I'm wishing you all the very best.
