Yes! I am waiting for the OP's answer as to whether he answered the texts. If it was a conversation, with him sending replies that required an answer, that is different. That would be a texting conversation, I guess -- i.e. two-way.
I would take it one day at a time and see what happens. Perhaps you had conversation during your date about some common interests? For example, maybe you were discussing museums or nature preserves, and she was asking if you had visited a particular spot in your locality? It may have been more of a follow-up texting conversation, sort of a getting-to-know-you....

What ever happened to getting to actually know people? Communicating?
So glad I'm past the whole dating mess.
What happened was that everyone got super sensitive and crazy and not being able to take no for an answer and giving someone the benefit of the doubt these days could potentially be a fatal decision. Paranoia maybe but it isn't without merit to it.
By the way.. I've heard a lot of women tell me they get creeped out when a guy is too eager., texts too much, shows too much interest, etc. What is this double standard?
Creepy is when the vibe is "I don't take no for an answer". I don't see a double standard. Did you tell her you weren't interested and she continued to initiate contact?
Arrogance is when there is a show of over inflated of self importance. I don't see that in any of the posts here... no one is claiming self importance in their posts. They are pointing out that you are looking for issues and red flags were none are yet to be apparent.
You know what is a red flag for me? A person who is constantly looking for problems and issues in others.... I end up walking on egg shells around them and they are difficult to please.

Which would be pertinent if he said "no."

Yeah, so OP, I'm curious like others if the texts were back/forth or just one sided.
If back and forth, then you are getting overly excited over nothing. So she likes you. That's a good thing, no? It would appear she has dropped pretense and hard to get in favor of being upfront and proactive.
The crazy element is still very much in play here. And eight texts, assuming these were in a row and OP hasnt responded is textbook crazy.
No, it's not. There is literally no textbook with that listed as crazy.
Over enthusiastic? Maybe. Could be needy.
OP hasn't said if he responded, we don't know if it is her text program. There is neither enough information, nor enough evidence of anything yet.
Could be she just really likes him and her enthusiasm is showing.
We can't tell yet.
But again, if it makes him uncomfortable he can simply tell her "no thanks."

Merriam-Webster tends to collaborate with my view.

b : absurdly fond : infatuated He's crazy about the girl.
c : passionately preoccupied : obsessed crazy about boats
The texting 8 times..too much.She could have just texted you once if wanting to plan going out again...
Just take it slow.
Also it's really a bad time to be going on dates...close to the holidays if you know you're going to be busy because of it.
One can lose the excitement of the date..things happen,people get caught up in doing holiday stuff.
