A bully's behavior must be dealt with
Many fulfilling friendships have started out as blind dates that didn't blossom into romance, just as some romances have started with collegial meetings between people with shared interests.
It is vital that you behave in a way that respects whatever boundaries she wishes to erect. If she doesn't want to meet in person, don't press her. If you do meet, use the meeting as a laid-back opportunity to continue your conversation.
You likely do not know all that much about her personally, and she may wish to keep it that way.
Dear Amy: "Sleeping Alone" wondered why her partner was going to bed later than she.
Amy, he might be an introvert. Introverts need "alone time" to recharge. This might be important to him.
-- Also an Introvert
Dear Also: This pattern of her partner not going to bed with her most nights was quite new, and indicated a big change in their relationship. They will have to figure out what's behind this change.
