I really don't know if this would go in this forum, but here goes:

I started talking to this really awesome girl on Saturday. After we talked for a little bit, she told me she had a huge crush on me, and I told her the same. We flirted nonstop, even talked about having sex. She asked me if I would go on a date with her on Monday, and I accepted. We went on said date and had a really great time, and she even suggested a second date. I tried to text her on Tuesday and received nothing back, and Wednesday morning I get a text saying that the other night was way too fast for her and she wasn't looking for anything.

I sent her a long, respectful apology on the site we met on, but received no reply. She goes away to Mexico on Sunday for three weeks, and I've considered waiting until she gets back to try and talk to her.

I really liked her personality and her sense of humor. If nothing else, I would really like to have her as a friend. I just don't know what to do. I don't want to seem desperate, but I don't want to lose my chance to get to know her, maybe even go on another date after we are friends for a little while. This whole week it's been like everyone I talk to is so boring. I find myself saying "he/she's nothing like -insert crush's name here-."

Advice would be greatly appreciated.
