Need help with this

so I've seen this HB9 at the gym a few times and i go up and talk to her and i get her number. She's flirty and talkative and wants to hang so we hang out and there was a big connection, we Hung out for a really long Time just talking and going places. I go to her house later the next day and we just chill then.

I leave her house and go home and the next morning I text her and she starts being short because she just started college, works and she just doesnt like texting very much.

so i go to her house a few days later and were just talking outside her house and stuff and her mom calls and she has to go and do something for her so she hugs me bye but i grab her arm and pull her in for a kiss as she is about to walk inside. she turns her head as i go to plant one on her and says that she just wants to be friends. so i say goodbye and leave. 1 minute after i leave she text me saying, "Im really sorry i just dont want to be in a relationship:\" i reply to her saying, "well we could still go out on a date and have a good time without being in a relationship. I'm not trying to force you into anything, i just wanted to see where i stand and now i know"

she was in a long relationship maybe more than a year and a half. what should i do from here, do a Freeze Out and see if she texts me back before the day we were supposed to go out or what?

i could use some advice on this please, if you need more info let me know i will elaborate.

I know it's too late, but maybe this can help you out for the future.

First, your text "well we could still go out on a date and have a good time without being in a relationship. I'm not trying to force you into anything, i just wanted to see where i stand and now i know", I would cut the last bit, it's too long and too much of an explanation. Remember that you aren't supposed to care so much about if you are with her or not, because I think that with what you said, it looks even more serious. It's like, "this is not serious but...", so then it looks serious. Also remember that you don't want to date her, you just want to hang out with her. So something like "That's fine with me, we should hang out and have a good time on day X. I don't want anything serious neither, just want to get to know you better".

The whole thing looks much like you opened right and then behave like a nice guy, which would put you in the friends zone, but you didn't build enough emotional and physical attraction. (Step C2 in the M3 from Mystery).

Other point, why do you know she was in a long relationship? You shouldn't know as you shouldn't talk about past relationships.

How to fix it? As I said now it's surely too late, but if this happened again, I'd say to carefully introduce sexual jokes, double senses and to heat up the talk, being between the "Nice guy" that she already thinks you are and being careful not to be too much "not like you". It'd be easier to try a new one anyway.
