No response to text
No return call yet.

She should be in the movies because that was some wonderful acting. Lol

What?
Why would you assume she was acting?

It IS possible to be glad to meet someone but not want to be romantically involved with them.
It is possible to smile and ask questions, and even hug... but not want to date.

You should see it as a nice night out with a nice person.... because that is all it was (based on what you said here).
And there is nothing wrong with that.

I am not trying to make excuses (well maybe I am a little), but it's hard when someone puts you on the spot at the end of the date to flat out tell them you don't want to see them again. I'm sure a lot of people are guilty of brushing someone off later because it was awkward to do it in person.
This.

Women in general have a hard time hurting a guys feelings so when they aren't interested some prefer to do the fade away thing. They think it hurts a guys ego less and are truly trying to be kind.

Meh...I wouldn't take it personal. A lot of people can enjoy your company and conversation at the time, and just leave it at that, and it is nothing more to them.

If she is playing silly little head games, I don't think you should give her a second thought. Like all the others have said, she probably just enjoyed that "one" night and it was nothing more than that to her. Don't worry about it.

Agreed. I'd rather act interested on the date and then later be like "no thanks" rather than act distant, cold, awkward on the date. I guess it's not nice either way, but I would just give it a few dates.

Just please don't do what my roommate (who's 37) does. He text girls over and OVER again. I always tell him communication is a two-way street but he always tries to find a way to defend it by saying things like, "Well I just wanted her to know I was thinking of her," "I just wanted to see how her day at work was today," "I just wanted to know if she was feeling better..." Like he's a 14 year old boy. He texts repeatedly and adds the emoticons lol.

People before me gave some sound advice. Just wait a few days and check up. If she is non responsive then on to the next one (for your non-dinner date)!

Could be one of hundreds of different reasons:

Maybe she liked you then she changed her mind for no reason (some women can be fickle)

Maybe you said or did something she didn't personally go for but she never let on.

Maybe she mentioned you to one of her friends and got a bad report.

Maybe she was using you, hoping you like her to build her own ego.

Maybe she underestimated your intelligence/awareness and thought it would be "nicer" to reject you by making you think she liked you.

Maybe she's busy, she'll get in touch with you soon.

Could be anything. Do you have to know why(if she rejected you). I could probably reduce it to the twenty most likely reasons if I knew the whole story.

You did your best, you texted her and you called her. She knows. Now its her move.

Nothing else you can do. As a man, I'm proud of you for trying.

I did think it was a bad sign that after the bus she was waiting for rode pass us by a accident, instead of her waiting for the next bus she waved down a cab. Lol

I guess that was a clear sign right there. Lol

Speaking about busses: they'll be another one coming soon.

Yeah, they always seem to give a contradictory sign if they are acting.

She's in NY?
