So I tried to make friends with someone and it didn't work

I was recently on a friends hen do and car shared with another woman, we seemed to get on really well and had some good chats and then connected on facebook. I saw her again at the wedding and had a chat, and said hey we should meet up for a drink sometime, she seemed enthusiastic.

I was going to try and do something with our mutual friend but she's away, and I don't like to renege on my promises so I facebooked her to say hey still fancy meeting up for a drink, what about next week and she's basically ignored my message. I know she's read it because the thing tells you, plus she's been on facebook lots since then (this was about a week ago).

So.. I get it...she doesn't really want to be friends and that's fine but it's just made me feel like a bit of a fool to be honest. What did I do wrong...did I try too hard? I guess we didn't know each other all that well but I thought I'm unlikely to see her again spontaneously so I'll go for it and suggest meeting up. I think I might just go back to being shy after this......

I think she read it and forgot to answer straight away. I'd probably text her again before giving up.

People don't reply to messages for all different reasons. Mainly just busy or forgetful. Could it be that she's waiting for mutual friend to get back so that you can all go?
You did nothing wrong, don't be tempted to overthink this. Carry on with FB contact, liking and responding to things where appropriate and something may still grow organically.
