I felt like I had a great first date with her earlier in the week. I texted her the next day, saying that I had a great time and would love to do it again soon. She responded likewise, and then we more-or-less texted each other the rest of the day.

We've texted the past couple days as well (and have set up most of the details for a second date for Monday), but she's a bit busy with work and a friend from out of town is visiting her through the weekend. As a result (or at least, that's my guess), she's been responding more slowly.

- In light of this, how much should I be contacting her the next few days? Continue to do a little bit each day?
- And when should I get in touch with her to finalize the last couple details of the date? Sunday? Or is early Monday fine too? (she already agreed to the time, now it's just the location)

There is no formula. If you have something to tell her, do. If not, don't. Damn.

Sounds like she's pretty interested in you. That won't change if you don't talk to her for a couple days, but if you smother her, it can change. You just met her. If I were you, I'd not contact her for a couple days. You aren't a couple yet. You don't need to be in daily contact. You set up most the details, so if anything is left hanging, then contact her the day before your next date. She may contact you before. It shows confidence to let some time go by without contacting someone and it's very unattractive to smother someone you just met with multiple daily text.

Send her a text on Saturday so she can show her friend, 'Look! It's the guy I told you about!' Be prepared for her to just reply once or twice and then disappear, though -- she will be distracted .

Then text her sunday night after her friend has gone home, to confirm monday and to be snuggly.

Thank you for the advice! I'm fairly new to all of this, so it's been a tremendous learning process for me.

I think I would text her that you know she is busy between work and getting ready for her visitor, so you won't text her too much. I would then maybe text her once a day and see how she is doing. You should probably be able to tell if she wants to hear from you more. Then Saturday I would tell her that you intend on contacting her the next day, Sunday, to iron out the final plans for your date. You could even do this Monday if you do not feel that is cutting it too close for either of you.
