That is exactly how you could have blown it: not knowing what you could do to blow it. Based on what I read about your date, I would think they were expecting something else from you during and/or after your date.
Quote:I text my crush about an hour after I left and asked if she wanted to meet me for a movie tomorrow because I think of something so I text her. No reply.
I sit and eat and say yes or no when asked if I need anything. I don't flirt but she was definitely more chatty a few weeks back.
I'm starting to feel uncomfortable myself and unsure why.
You probably feel uncomfortable because you're starting to realize there's something wrong, but you don't understand what it is.
Quote:How do I find out for sure if they're just not comfortable with me anymore without just saying that it seems I'm making you uncomfortable so I need another server?
Well, here's my assessment based on what I know.
First: fishing off the company pier. In other words, you never try to date a woman who works where you work (or where you are a regular customer) because if something goes wrong, you have made everything awkward and uncomfortable for everyone (at best) and they may feel like they need to get a different job, or you may feel like you can't go there anymore (at worst). This is not always a mistake, but if you do it, you'd better be damned good with women to pull it off.
Second: You seem (to my point of view, based on what I've been told here) have a habit of misinterpreting what they're communicating to you through sub-communication (body language, what they do, etc.). For example, when the sister showed up wanting to be part of the date, you thought they were both attracted and interested. That is a possibility, but what I saw was she wasn't fully comfortable being alone with you, so she brought her sister to make it hard for you to try anything inappropriate. She was interested and attracted, but not yet comfortable with you. That's how I interpreted what happened.
Third: You didn't do anything during the date but watch the movie. At least as I understand it. She may have felt like you were not really interested or maybe felt awkward because of what she was expecting. Remember what I said about "dates". Women have a million and one expectations the moment you make them think "date". If she gets to thinking it's a "date", you're probably going to fail.
Fourth: You took her on a date. And that's what she was expecting, even without saying the word "date" because of how you approached it. You took my advice, but did not execute correctly, and she still was thinking it was a date. Not necessarily your fault, if you're not familiar with that approach, but it remains the same result.
Fifth, you were confused about how to execute the date because of apparently bad advice and possibly inexperience. One of my hard rules is, NEVER let a woman think too long before you go on a date with her, because she will ALWAYS make it either awkward or impossible if she has enough time to think too much about it. If I ask a woman out on a "date", or she thinks it's a "date", I always make sure it happens within the shortest possible time frame. Usually that very same day, or the next day at the latest. When you set it up for such a long wait, she was overthinking the hell out of it, and her sister was too, which only made it worse. You also changed your behavior between asking her out and the actual date, and you're honestly lucky she went through with it. That is a testament to how attracted she actually was to you.
Sixth, your communication with her/them since asking for the date is seriously in question, and if you did not handle that well, that will have thrown the whole thing in the trash because she will have developed a completely different understanding than you did, and then subsequently interpreted everything you did and did not do through that lens.
So if I understand enough of what has happened, and I am correct, you are very close to totally failing in this situation because you did not communicate with her/them well enough and frequently enough. The only way you can recover this is to try to correct that through a pro-active effort at open, honest communication, and the chances of you succeeding are very low at this point because she will not and cannot discuss it at work, and she is very unlikely to respond to any attempt to communicate outside of work.
Your only chance is to send her a text that says the right things to get you back on track, in my opinion. Others may disagree. But this is my assessment based on what I have read of your adventures.
I knew that she brought her sister cus she most likely didn't feel comfortable. Her twin was the one that always used to ask me what I was doing later.
I always told her what I was doing because I was interested in her sister.
I did fail. My friend from the Airforce came in and we ate at the restaurant and when I got there My crush was at the front desk but didn't acknowledge me. She then walked through the area by the kitchen out the other end and around behind where I waited for my friend but she went back the other way.
Another server told me both twins had just clocked out. So another server took me and my friend to a booth.
From that booth I could see the kitchen door. My crush stood there. I looked at her. She looked at me.
I expected her to come talk to me but she didn't.
She disappeared.
Her Twin on the other hand talked to me and I introduced her to my friend and she seemed like everything is normal.
I am sure now that my crush has something going on and it may or may not be me.
I never have gotten a reply from my crush in text. I only ever text her 3 times since April.
1st was so she'd have my number.
2nd was I asked her if she heard Taylor swift new album
3rd is when I'd asked her to a movie a few days ago.
I can agree I blew this.
I am a terrible texter and I'm going to accept I failed.
It's best for me to just get another server and move on.
I've never tried to get with a restaurant server.
In hindsight I should have gone for the other twin though she has a boyfriend because at first she seemed more into me till my crush told her to quit trying to steal me.
I'm not saying both girls wanted me but it's a good possibility because of X4A-1511.
I will just request the other twin and just have her be my server. Move on with my life. Cus I definitely don't want to make anything worse.
I can ask my crush if I did something to make her feel uncomfortable but she's not gonna answer me.
