Search Results: why you lose interest in the girl

Hi!

Did a post some days ago about my first date with a girl.
And this is... Well part 2..

Again, the first date went actually very well.

• The touchbarrier was broken.
• We laughed a lot together and she had open body language
• She seem genuinely interested and comfortable in the company.
• If you go by the book, everything about chemistry was there.

But after the date she became much slower than usual in response, like responding my follow-up text, but answered the day after the date (in the evening, usually it's when she wakes up ). She answered with a heart and admit it was a great date.

But lately since, I've felt a bit slow-fade from her. Not all the same quick response and energy.

Yesterday I said "I would really want to meet you again since we had a great time. Why don't we hook up on the arcade, next Friday?"

To that she answered, after yet again very slow answer "I would love to go out with you again, but as friends. But I understand if that's not what you want."

Questions.
Is this a lost cause?
Or is there still some chance to turn the tables?

I'm really interested in this girl, and she shared mutual before the date.
