Has any guy ever been able to bounce back from being ghosted?

Anonymous

I recently met someone new a few days ago and thought we were vibing pretty well. I met her and asked for her number because I was interested in getting to know her. We texted a decent amount throughout the past few days, and the girl initiated to hang out by my surprise, so I thought that maybe she had some kind of interest in me. I decided to shoot my shot by confirming our hangout plan and saying: "well then, i guess it's a date! it'll be something fun to look forward to". But I think I may have sprung that a little too early...

She ended up ghosting me right after that and didn't respond to it. I honestly don't mind keeping her as a friend even if she doesn't feel anything romantically since she just seems cool as a person. I liked our talks and became interested in her and possibly getting to enter a dating phase with her to know her better if it ever came to that. Because of that, I feel sort of bad for ruining what could have possibly even been a good friendship. Is there any way to try and bounce back from this?
