Met a fabulous woman and had an incredible first date and...(shocking, I know)

So I'm sure this is a familiar story to many, but I had a wonderful first date (matched on Hinge) on Wednesday, met a bar, had unreal sexual and mental chemistry. For context: we are both in our mid 30s and we were holding hands within 90 minutes, bar hopping and curled up with each other laughing, having a delightful time.

​

Mid convo at bar no 2, I asked her what she was doing Friday and she nothing, wide open and we planned a 2nd date on our first date lol, she enthusiastically agreed. We finished our drinks over the next 20 or so minutes and she asked me to take her to my car so we can make out more etc and I could then drive her to my car, I did so, stopping to make out on the way, as it was a few block walk. We get to the car and mess around for 45 minutes etc and I drive her to her car, before she leaves my car, we reconfirm Friday plans and she says she cant wait, I walk her to her car kiss her goodbye and ask her to text me when we she gets home (she says she we will).... after an hour of us leaving and asking if she got home ok and it's been crickets for 48 hours.

​

I sent her a text asking how her day was last night and then this morning I texted "hey, are we still on for tonight" and nothing. I checked hinge and we are still matched.

​

I know its out of my control, so this post is probably a waste of time, but I guess its good to write it out, lol. Im just beyond confounded because every "first date" I've been on that was similar to this ended in a multiple year long relationship, haha. Any ideas would be welcome.

​

Wish me luck.
