A few days ago I was stopped on the street by a girl recruiting people for a charity. She was really nice and we got along, but she confused me by never getting to the point. I think we had talked for half an hour when I asked if she was trying to have me sign up for anything (since that was obviously her job). She didn't want to force it on me since I'm a student, and said she would have liked to talk over a drink, but had to get back to her job.

I've never asked for anyone's number before (I'm quite shy) so it took me a few minutes after saying bye to realize it might have been a hint. So I mustered my courage and went back, asked for her number; she said "of course!" and repeated the thing about grabbing a beer sometime.

I sent her a text when I got home and haven't heard back (it has been two days now).

I obviously don't expect any of you to be able to tell what's going on on her part, but since I haven't asked for anyone's number before, I don't know what is reasonable to expect. This could be the norm for all I know?

Should I have called instead of texted? I feel like that would have been better, although it seems safe to assume that she wouldn't have picked up anyway. Anything else I could or should have done differently?

I guess it's possible that not getting the hint the first time around and coming back later might have scared her off? I found this all very confusing. At least she made my day!
