I accidentally bumped into an acquaintance's parked car and left a dent so I left a note with my name, phone number and little messages under her windshield wiper. It's been three days since I left the note. She didn't call me. Thinking she might not have noticed the damage as she rarely drives her car, I called and texted her but she didn't answer any of them. I did leave texts because it's the right thing to do. I hope I didn't come across as a crazy guy. :'(

New PUA tactic: bump into girls' parked cars.

Don't sweat it.
You've acted in good faith.
I'm sure she'll get in touch with you about fixing the damage if that's what she wants.

How bad was the dent? Maybe it wasn't so bad, after all. Maybe you got lucky! I've gotten lucky like that before.

Maybe she's a person of sense who, perhaps, has left a slight dent in somebody's car, and did not have to pay the couple of hundred dollars (at least) to fix it. So she's extending that courtesy to you.

At least you did the right thing, and was honest.

Not sure why this is under L&D, but you did the right thing!

I did something similar once; accidentally smoked a parked car in a parking lot (I misjudged my turn radius). The owner was nowhere to be found, so I left a note with my contact/insurance info under her windshield wiper. When I came out of the store, I found a reply under my windshield wiper and the lady that owned the car was extremely thankful that I owned up to it and didn't just drive off (as many do!). I felt terrible for hitting her car, but the note made me feel better about it.

Probably she happens to be the one he likes.

This^

Aspie crushes tend to be very obsessive ones, detailing all interactions.
I'm sure your acquaintance is ok about it OP. Don't worry

I think *all* people overthink about past interactions with crushes.

The bottom line is: Let's hope everything was resolved to the satisfaction of both the man and the women.
