The texting issue aside, ignoring a direct question is a punk move. Just say yes or no, if you are so scared of the consequences, after giving an answer, then it is understandable if you want to block them.

... block them, then run into each other at the next hike
If only all the Facebook and Instagram drama was banned from this board, like it is on the other one....
Yep. Texting is such a freaking limited form of communication. On this forum alone, I can't even begin to count the number of posts that began like this:
"There was this girl I met at a bar with friends and I got her number, so I texted her the next day to see if she'd like to get together....and I didn't hear from her instantaneously, so I texted her again. You'd think after five texts in ten minutes, she'd respond to me. And then I got, "Hey" as my response back. What do you think she meant by "Hey"? Was it a pissed-off Hey or a Glad To Hear From You Hey? So I texted back with LOL and she then texted back saying she was busy at work, and could she respond later? I didn't hear from her for five more hours, so I texted her again and now she's blocked me. Do you think I have a chance with her? Why isn't she responding?"
Here's the thing. If you actually hear the other person's voice on the telephone, it takes all of ten seconds to gauge interest, rather than this endless navel gazing.
Well since the girl thinks it is okay to ignore a text from the OP it should be ok for the OP to return the favor and ignore her at the next hike.
My point was that there is no block function for her to use in real life.
And yeah of course he can "return the favour" and ignore her at the next hike. Don't think that was ever in question. She might not mind being ignored by him anyway.

Well, his real failure was to not simply ask right there and then, "Hey, I'm enjoying the conversation. Want to continue it over coffee?" If this guy is to be believed, the iron was hot, man.
I find it annoying that people expect some sort of response to their advances. Just move on. If someone doesn't bite complaining about it isn't going to change anything.
I realize texting is the norm these days but it looks weak to ask a girl out via text.
Should have called her or asked next get together.
No need to get all dramatic over one texting incident. Sure it would have been nice to hear back but it is what it is. Move on.
Yep. It's timid.
