<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

If you were her, what would you think of me just texting you for the purpose of just talking to you?

If you want more backstory:

I knew her and had a crush on her for 3+ years, but I never really had a conversation with her. I knew her through my cousin and thus I was with family most of the time when I was with her. Then, last week, I asked her to the upcoming dance and she said yes. I reeeeaaally want to get to know her though and just talk to her. She's a really interesting person. But somehow I can't find the words/courage to text her other than the couple times I have since I asked her to the dance(one follow up, one merry Christmas). When I do text her, she replies with pretty long texts(I think it's just because she talks a lot...) and the conversations usually end quickly(again, though, the times I texted her had a short intended purpose...)
<bot>: I want to get to know my date for the dance but I don't know how or if I should. Put yourself in her place: what would you think?
