? for any women out there-What does it mean when I girl says this?

[mpb47]

So what's wrong with being direct and to the point? If there is no attraction, no reason to continue to pursue. Regardless, of the reason, it taught me to be more reserved and not get my hopes up too soon

Think you know women? Well here is another one to figure out. A few weeks back I met (online only) a *potentially* interesting girl. We do have some geeky common interests and strike up a nice normal conversation about our mutual interests. After about a week or so I didn't hear from her till today. She apologized for being slow about responding saying she thought she had and then realized that she had not. Truth or Fiction? And does it matter?
