I'm 41 and she's 24. We met at some event and have stayed in touch through text.

So yesterday was our 3rd time meeting up. I texted her about some guy's birthday party at an apartment and asked if she wants to join. She lives 30 minutes away but surprisingly she made the drive to meet me at the party. She told me before she came that she doesn't want to drink any because she went out the night before. She came alone this time. She's an attractive girl, on the tall side, and pretty face so her responsive to my texts and coming alone was kind of validating to me.

The apartment party had about 25 people. I felt a little bad for that girl who made the drive because I don't know if she enjoyed it. Her and I left along with a couple of other people we met at the party to go a nearby club. She wasn't drinking at all and basically stood around. I've always seen her dancing a lot and more fun during previous nights so yesterday's mood wasn't great. I said let's exit after not too long. I drove her back to her car and called it a night. She usually texts when she gets home so she let me know she made it home. All she said was "Made it home"

Do you think this girl just wants to be friends with me or was interested in more?

I think I could've smashed on the first night we met because the vibes were good but I didn't and now I don't mind just being a friend to go out with occasionally
