This is the story: Went out clubbing on Wednesday with 3 girls, and a cute girl on the dance floor kept looking at me. Later when I was dancing quite close with one of the girls she almost hugged me raising a question from my girl "do you know her?". So in a bit I approached her, and she asked "why are you so popular here?" .. later she gave me her business card just before I left.

On Thursday texted her inviting out, and she replied that would prefer Friday. On Friday she asked if can bring a friend (girl). I said "yes" and invited my wing too.

She brought a beautiful young and very cute girl. Very smart and funny too. So I pretty much immediately realized that I want to get her long term.

Spent 4 hours in a club, everything was great, got the jealousity working (waitress in the club is my friend and was hugging me all the time), later girls asked - "what's your secret with girls". Mentioned that I host parties at my place and the girl I liked (I haven't even invited them) said "we're in". I laughed "we'll see, I only invite people I know really well". Also chatted about IMAX cinema in London as apparently they have never been there and I said that will invite them next time. Also tried (not sure how successful) to connect in a few ways.

At 1am I left and they stayed. 2 days later I texted the girl I liked
"Hey, hope u had a nice wend. Got good seats in IMAX for friday eve. Ask Nataly if she can join. It will be fun ! Valentine"
and 6 hours later got the response
"Hi valentine thank you for the offer but natasha is away workin and im
very busy at the moment workin on various projects but would b great
2catch up soon x"

which really puzzled me. Looks like a polite rejection ("on various projects" is very lame), and "would be great to catch up soon" doesn't make any sense in this context.

The girl is surely used to attention and guys (at least a solid 9.5), and she's an actress, on imdb, etc. so I'm trying not to show any affection.

What do you guys think of this response? How would you translate it?
I see these options
* Not interested in you, sorry (which is rather strange considering Friday)
* My friend is out this week (this is true) and I don't feel comfortable going with you without her yet, besides she might like you too.
* I want to play hard to get, you're used to female attention, and I don't want to be an easy target
* I already have a date on Friday, but would like to meet you another time.

I take it my only option is to wait a week or so and text her again with something more neutral like "Hey, busy week ! Hope you're ok. Let's try to catch up some time."

Any other ideas/thoughts?

Thanks
