I got a girl's phone number earlier today and I wanted to share my experience on here as well as ask for some advice on what I did well and what I could do better next time.

Background: I am 22 years old and I'm not sure how old she is but I know shes at least 18 probably 19. Shes in my Chemistry class and she has always intrigued me but I never talked to her until we worked on a lab together. She seems very quirky and kinda weird; she was pocketing disposable test tubes instead of throwing them out.

Today after class I went up to her to talk to her. I was very nervous so my speech was probably kind if soft and high pitched. I also forgot to take my glasses off but that's not important.

Me: "Hey [name], I think you're very cool and interesting and I would like to get to know you better." I can't remember if I said "Would you like to go on a date" or "I would love to take you out on a date"

Her: "A date?"

Me: "Yeah a date"

Her: "Where?" I can't remember exactly how she asked it. I was caught pretty off-guard by this.

Me: "I hadn't thought that far ahead"

Her: "Well you have my groupme?"

Me: "Actually could I get your number instead?"

So at this point we're walking side by side to the parking lot and I pull out my phone to put her number in, but then my phone won't turn on. I don't know why but sometimes my phone won't turn on for a couple seconds and this was one of those times. At this point I'm embarrassed and even more nervous. We keep talking about school while she pulls out a sticky note and writes down her number on it and gives it to me. Then we say goodbye to each other and my phone finally decides to turn on.

I already texted her but she hasn't replied yet. Anyway I would appreciate some feedback here thanks. Edited because reddit formatting is shit
