I just had fun with my buddy drinking beers and hanging out.
Great, that's the ticket, just get out and live life and don't worry about her.

Anyway...she quickly replied "Nice!!" I sent a simple "hope you had a great day as well" which got an immediate "Yes I did!" and me saying "happy to hear that!"...and that was it. No calls, good nights, nothing. And this morning no texts/emails sent from me.
Hmmm. Sounds like you're getting friendzoned. You did say you've been out with her a couple of times didn't you? Have you talked about another date or are you just exchanging pleasantries? You've got to be bold and a little pushy about going out. But your attitude also needs to be alpha- if not her then time to move on to the next lady.

BUT! what he didn't realize at the time was that just as it was driving him nuts, it was causing the lady he was interested in to wonder what the H was going on with him too and that was a good thing. So a light clicked for me.
Did I not just tell you that yesterday? Be mysterious.

I'm honest to a fault, straight forward...the thought of having to game to relationship build. If you start a relationship based on these unwritten, crazy but truthful realities...can they ever really foster a healthy long term, honest relationship or do you both have to continue the game throughout to keep the relationship surviving.
I like LH's post about it not being gaming, but rather "protocol". It's just human nature, we want what we can't have and don't want what is easy pickings. We love a challenge. Part of why you want to pursue her so bad is because she's not showing much interest in you. You need to flip the script.
Be mysterious.
