<human>: Background. We've been on about 10 or 11 dates and are fairly comfortable around eachother's presence. But when it comes to staying in touch between visits, she's not overly communicative due in large part because shes a medical resident. So often time my texts go unreturned, etc. I'm ok with this given how busy she is. But there are times, even in person, when i have to reach out and grab her hand. or go in for the kiss and she doesnt necessarily initiate it. 

She does express interest in other ways however. Like when we're together she says things like "have you seen this movie? no? oh we'll have to watch it then" or she hand made my christmas gift using her awesome carpentry skills. 

I know she's got a lot going on in her head with her career and possibly even a recent ex that paid her an unexpected visit (She told me about this). And the last thing I want to do is come off as needy by hassling her for communication. So i broached the topic with her on saturday by letting her know that i have trouble striking the right balance between staying in touch and possibly bothering her at work with over texting. She assured me that "you never bother me with your texts" yet the very next day she let two of them go unanswered and I haven't heard from her since. My last text from her was on Sunday.

It shold also be noted that the last time we hung out was after she came off of a 36 hour shift. so she was exhausted and didnt want to hook up. Which I'm totally respectful of. I was disappointed but she expressed before we even got together that night that she wanted to "meet up" but that she'd need alone time after since her job has left her emotionally drained. 

So Looking for advice on how to best play my cards. We've not had the exclusivity talk officially, although i've deactivated my OK cupid profile because i find it hard to date multiple people at the same time. Especially this many dates in.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: getting mixed messages from a girl i've been seeing. She sometimes acts interested but is also a fairly reserved person. How can I let her know it's bothering me without sounding needy or pushing her away?
