Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Situation: met a girl a few weeks ago at a club. Seemed to hit it off so asked for her number, spent a day or two sending the odd text, then organised a meet. Went for a drink with her a few days later, seemed to go well, conversation was flowing, she seemed engaged. Day after the meet, she texts saying she enjoyed it and wanted to do it again sometime. Said I had fun too, and we'd sort something soon.
Gave it a day or two before attempting to organise another meet, cinema and a meal. Cliché but who cares. She was down, but then cancelled the day before for family reasons. I said no worries, we'd catch each other again soon.
Few days later, tried to rearrange. Suggested a film and making a night of it, she said the usual "sounds great". Went with a gut reaction and asked if she was free the next day, she had plans already but asked when I was free. Said I had a few evenings free this week because of not working, asked when she was free so we could sort a day out. Didn't hear back for a day so tried the confident approach of saying a day and what we'd be doing, followed by "you in?"
Took her two days to reply, i.e. the day I'd suggested the second meet, and got a "Sorry honey I've been busy" etc etc etc. She asks how I've been, so I reply unphased that I've been great, been going out with mates of an evening, how've you been? Again, it's now been a day without a reply.
Give up and move on (already at the stage where I'm more fed up than eager when it comes to her replies, but I'd still love to see her again), or sit it out and see if she eventually gets back? I hate the texting game, I really do, but if I were to call I'd spaghetti everywhere and it'd just ruin any chance I had left.
Or should I just say -blam!- it and call, make small talk, then circle around into a meet before I move a few hundred miles away for a month?

Who cares, she's a random chick you picked up I'm having problems with a good friend.
