EdwardC, it seems to me you pushed the envelope too far, with letting her know how strong your feelings are, and giving her the calling card to call YOU (!) Maybe the romantic dinner cruise was a little much for a first date...
Believe me, I'm not defending her; her tactfulness leaves a lot to be desired.But tipping your hand too early about your feelings is the FATAL ERROR that I've made more than once!
Dust yourself off, and get back on that horse....
Good Luck!
