<human>: I met this girl about 2 months ago. We started hanging out, then went on a couple dates. Our first date we ended up just talking for almost 5 hours till the restaurant we were at closed at 2am. It looked promising. Our last date, almost 2 weeks ago now, was not so great (side note: the first time we hung out, she invited me, and she initiated this date as well). We went to dinner and couldn't hold a conversation for more than a couple minutes. Then we went to a party, which was a bust and we ended up having to give her roommate a ride home, who was super fucked up and said she couldn't be alone, which kinda killed the rest of the night. Since then I have talked to her almost every day, through texting, and she always responds, and with big full sentances not just "k". But everytime I ask if she wants to go out or do anything she either has an excuse why she cant or just straight up ignores the invite. Is she tryin to give me the hint or playing hard to get or what?! I'm at a loss here. What's my next step? Should I straight up ask if she likes me or not? Is there any hope?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: went on a few dates, everything seemed fine, she still talks to me a lot but she won't respond to my invitations to spend time together.
