<human>: I work at a women's clothing store. This evening I spent roughly an hour helping this sweet girl find clothing. At the end of the transaction she leaves her number on the counter and says "That's my number, by the way" and walks away. 

I'm really interested in her, but I haven't dated since high school. So I'm not up on my text game as well as I used to be. Ha Anyway, the guys at work all told me to wait three days to text her, but why wait and play games if I'm interested now?

Would texting her tomorrow afternoon just be way too soon? I'd much rather text her in the evening, but I don't get off work until 11. And by then I'm entering bed-time or booty-call hours. I know there's no hard and fast, rule. However, I'm hoping you could shed some light on my particular scenario (I searched for other similar ones through this subreddit, but came up empty-handed).

Much appreciated!

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Nice girl gives me her number while I'm working. I'm interested and don't want to play games. Is texting the next day (18 hours later) far too soon in this day and age?
