Good job on starting and keeping things rolling. A couple things stick out to me, though.
1) I don't understand the logic behind giving her that $3. There is a specific type of woman impressed by money, and $3 won't do it. They are generally the type you stay away from...the $3 is basically the same thing as buying a girl a drink without her earning it.
2) In almost every single post you've made, you've mentioned your height and weight. This is obviously something you're insecure about, and I believe you wrote in your intro that you are working on it. If your insecurities about it are this obvious via text on this forum, I'd say your body language about it is probably 10 times worse. You need to focus more on who you are as a person (because she is...for the most part) and be confident that you are working towards your weight goal...and will acheive it.
3) Notice how 90% of your texts are 3 times the size of hers. Showing too much interest, in my opinion. I would suggest mirroring the length and the amount of effort in texts to hers. Mirror how long she takes to respond. Mirror the length of her text. If she divulges little to no information to keep the conversation going, ignore the text and see if she responds back later. If she gives you a lot of information in the text (like this line,"Her: My friend took his life yesterday, I went to church at , blah, blah") then give some in return.
4) Escalation needs to flow smoothly. The jump from "high maintenance" to "Me: LOL, I could see you just wearing those boots! " was a HUGE leap...probably need to take a couple steps back now and work your way back to that point. If that would have been left at, "Very Sexy." you would have been a-okay.
At this party don't cling. You do your thing, let her do hers...but most importantly...let her see you doing your thing! Occasionally interact with her...introduce her to the bazillion people you've been talking to...later in the night take her around with you to find someone she'd find hilarious or some crap like that.
umm...might as well mention the no brainer stuff just in case! Shower right before...if you're a cologne guy...DONT USE A SHIT LOAD. I prefer to spray mine on my back and on my crotch (seriously...i'll explain why if you really want.) Get out of your head about the way you look before you get to the venue. Your concentration should be on the people and party and having a good ass time...not if your shirt makes you look fat.
Good luck, and keep us updated.

1. Yeah, now that you mention it that way, you are right about the $3. Lesson learned.
2. Yes, i am insecure about my weight but I act confident in person because I feel much better than I did at 300lbs and 320+lbs. I know its just a matter of time until I get to a weight where I am much more confident at so I basically am acting like I am already at that weight. It just weighs me down in the back of my mind.
3. The length of the texts are deceiving. I more consolidated some of them and cut out a few of them for easier reading and to get the jist of what was said. Good avice though either way.
4. You are right about how fast I escalated things. I wanted to take a RISK. I wanted to do something different from what I would normally do as an experiement if you will. I dont know if she took it the wrong way because of her faith. She may be a virgin for all I know and my talk of sex may have scared her away. Or she may have just thought, this guy is a pervert talking about this way too fast. I thought when I said she looked sexy she responded well so I thought I would see how far I could push it. I know it was a huge leap, but like I said I was hoping it was high risk with high reward. I also think by adding the neg in there about her not being able to be witty with me might have helped, no?
Thank you for the point about not being clingy to her. I am not clingy with her at school, in fact I am very short with her so I will continue this a little bit with her. I want to get to know her a little bit more and build the bond between us and OK a little bit though. I definately plan on opening as many sets as possible though that night and seeing if I cant take it the next step with her by going out for coffee after the party or something.
Good point on taking a shower before, I think it also goes to be said, make sure I shave my head, face etc before going to complete the clean look. I dont use a ton of cologne but I wear enough on my neck/chest that when I give a woman a hug they tell me I smell good. I will try the crotch and back thing although I am not fully sure why. I can understand the crotch area somewhat, but not the back...
