writes:I was texting a girl one evening, and she had to go and I wished her luck on her presentation and for her to tell me how it goes. She responded short and blunt "thanks and will do". But she hasn't responded, she had done something similar, I had asked her to hang around and said 'hmmm, maybe I do have a lot of work to do, but I might be able to squeeze you in'. She didn't respond, I sent her a text basically at the end of the day saying 'I guess we aren't hanging around', she said 'I was putting up the Christmas tree and other things, I can't meet up tonight, I'm exhausted'. Is she not interested in being friends with me? I understand being busy and what not, but I usually make time to respond as soon as possible. Am I over reacting or do I have a right to not be happy right now?

 You two have different styles of communicating, different expectations about texting and responding.
What are you trying here? Do you like her? Do you want to ask her out? If so, leave the texting alone, pick up the phone and ask her out.
If I got those texts from you I'd be a bit confused as to what you wanted as well. I know it's not nice to be abrupt and not respond, but ask her a direct question. Give her a date in advance, say you're going to XYZ and ask if she wants to come with you.
If she doesn't respond, gives you and excuse or whatever, then let it go. Just be direct about it.
