I lurk here but don't really practice approach or much of anything besides inner game. I know how much of a humble-brag it is to call myself a "natural", but occasionally I actually am and that is basically how I felt the night went when I met her for the first real time. She is a friend of my roomates, and she came over with some friends and we all had a lot of fun. I drank liquor, which I normally avoid, and basically played comedian all night. I got multiple flimsy IOIs, but I'm pretty sure she likes me. For context, she is at least 3 points higher than me on the HB scale (I don't know what HB stands for) and she is half my age plus six years. Fortunately she is pretty much the opposite if stuck up and my self-esteem isn't in the gutter and I feel pretty comfortable around her, but I do have a case of one-itis since I don't really run game.

Anyways, that night ended with a hug. I was pretty lame about it. The next morning she added me pretty much while I was in the middle of cyberstalking her. I didn't realize until then day that she might actually like me. I didn't #-close or anything, so if I call her it would be because I got the number from my roommate, which seems awkward. Also, I am verifiably phone-tarded. I suck at phone conversations. It is like I'm leaving a voicemail while driving.

There is a company dinner in about 10 days and I also didn't know if that was a horeible idea or a great one. It will be pretty laid back and they are usually followed by bar-hopping.

I guess I am looking for more just normal dating advice.
