Girls, I confessed my feelings but she left me hanging?

Anonymous
i started talking to this girl roughly 2 months ago. she's from the UK and im in the US. i thought she was attractive from the start, but what really made me want to pursue something with her was when we started using voice notes. hearing her voice, learning about her, and being updated daily on her life made things feel much more intimate than just texting back and forth with someone. i started crushing really hard.

she's always been extremely nice to me, receptive to compliments and mild flirting, and i always got the vibe that she was at least somewhat interested. the effort to keep conversation going never felt one-sided and she always seemed genuinely interested in what we were talking about or what i had going on / and genuinely flattered when I'd compliment her. she's also complimented me numerous times and is always apologizing when i feel she doesn't have to. she's so sweet 😭

well anyways, things had gone on so nicely for so many weeks that i obviously started falling for her. she is so charming and beautiful i really don't see how i couldn't have. over the past few days i came to the realization that i had to tell her how i felt, no matter how nervous i was, or i would explode. so i made up my mind to confess my feelings. i recorded a voice message telling her everything. you can hear how nervous i am in the message but i owned it and pushed through. i've always heard women find men being nervous unattractive but what am i supposed to do lol i think if anything it's maybe more attractive that i still did that despite trembling in fear lmao

so. now comes the issue. she listened to this message last night, started typing... and then nothing. I don't know if she fell asleep, or didn't know what to say, or what. and I don't think it would be cool of me to bother her today unless she reaches out first. i should give her time. meanwhile, im curious what other girls think! how would you react in this situation?

she ended up responding today and although she didn't reciprocate, we had a very good and honest talk and will likely remain great friends. thank you all for your help :)
