Update: set up a coffee date this week. I've literally never been on a date with a girl. Should I just roll with it naturally, or have some specific game plan in mind? Thank you seddit!!

My throat is still dry from all the fucking anxiety. But damn it feels fucking good.

It was around noon and I was walking back from class when I noticed a HB8 walking about 50 meters behind me. It's quite a long walk and we were both going towards the parking lot which had two intersections. I get to the intersection and guess what, I start thinking. "She has headphones on, I'll just bother her" or "This will be so weird, creepy, and awkward." [Note that after my approach, these thoughts became completely illogical and pointless]

As we cross the intersection there's an HB4 with us and I open her. I give an opinion opener about my braces(which was actually intended for HB8) and we talked the whole way until she had to go her own way. So here we are, me and HB8 walking towards the parking lot. The parking lot is just before an apartment complex which is where she was heading. As we keep walking I go towards my car while she is on the sidewalk and I ALMOST pussy out at this moment. But then I thought to myself, "I am literally NEVER going to see this girl again. I had never come across the same person while walking to and from my car to class." So I gather my balls and walk up to her.

At this point I am pretty nervous. I have gone up to girls and talked to them before but only when there was an excuse to. Such as after class, "How was the test," that type of pussy shit. Never a direct approach that shows clear intent.

-"Hey, I think your really cute and I just had to come over and say Hi. Hi my name is tankdestoyer." -"Hi I'm lucy nice to meet you."(She has a big smile on her face while slowly taking off her headphones and not breaking eye contact once) I took it as an IOI. I could tell she was as nervous as I was too, lol.

After this we talk about school and what her major is, blah blah. I complement her by saying she looks great today and she loved it. It was about 2 minutes in the conversation when I ask for her number. She says she has a boyfriend. I laugh it off and say "It's no problem he can hang out with us too." She laughed and gave me her number. As I'm about to say bye she says call me so I can get your number too. Should I take this as an IOI? I say nice to meet you and walk back to my car.

I'm feeling fucking awesome right now, I finally cold approached after months of pussying out. Now here's the thing. Maybe it was my anxiety that fogged up my mind or I'm just over analyzing, but I feel like the conversation was pretty awkward. I don't know if I built enough attraction. Now she texted me saying "hey." When/Where should I ask her out?
