You shot your shot. That takes guts. Besides she may still contact you. You never really know.

It was so difficult to bring myself to do it. I don't know how anyone could ever be comfortable telling a stranger they'd like to get to know them 😬

Yeah it could go either way. A more stable strat is have something in mind you want to do with them. Coffee is boring, sure, but its the easiest thing to do to get to know someone. “Hey, ____ you wanna grab a coffee after this shift? Oh you’re busy tonight, alright, how about such-and-such day? Ahhh you’re busy all week? You can schedule coffee then. Seeya later!” then scoot.
Try to set it up, if fails for ‘busy’ reasons, ask about another day, you’re not harassing they said they were busy TODAY, so tomorrow or the next isn’t a “No”. She’s booked up, well, shit, she must have a busy schedule. SHE will have to do the work to schedule it because ain’t no way you’re gonna chase down people with busy schedules, they have to be the ones to pencil it in. So throw the ball in her court and move on, as far as you’re concerned she said “No” indefinitely, which is good. Means you don’t have to focus on your crush and can back to the grind. If she hits you up, well shit bud, you just scored a date. Good job.
Always be playing volleyball with girls, mentally. Set it up, send it over. Now its her turn

Thanks everyone for your input. She got ahold of me today, so it must of not been as bad as I thought. 😁

You should've gotten her social media. It's more informal and people feel more comfortable beginning initial contact that way. I'm always hesitant to give out my phone number. Don't let this set back make you retreat, get out of that comfort zone.

In hindsight I probably should of. The whole thing sounded alot better to do in my mind then how it actually happened. I'm sure she could tell I was extremely nervous and probably thought I was super lame.

Nah you should’ve given her your number instead that way you’ll know if she’s serious if you get a message from her

Don’t be a pussy anymore, this was the first step into becoming less of one, if you like something go for it.
Btw, don’t be falling in love with every girl that looks at you a certain way… it’s in a way desperate behavior.
Also, rather than give her your number, should rather just talked to her in person because you’ve already said a few words before, but on the other hand you put the ball in her court by giving your info so if she is interested or not , we will know by her reaching out.
Haha I feel like a pussy when it comes to talking to girls now that I've been single for years. I don't know how to put myself out there anymore. I never really had this issue when I was younger (30 now).
I dont fall in love with every girl that looks my way. I've actually been oblivious to any girl that would look at me. It just feels like its not a thing that happens. I dont know why I just assumed the way she looks at me and smiles/blushes that she wanted to get to know me 🤦♂️
I don't really ever know how to conversate with people I don't know.. especially a girl I find attractive like that. Our interactions are always quick and just small talk. Shes seems really shy herself too.

I did something similar. It took one and a half weeks to respond

Mate, don't feel bad! As someone posted down already you shot your shot. That's all men can do and that's what they SHOULD do. In my eyes you've won that encounter.
The only thing you've done wrong is giving her your number. You should have asked for hers instead. Women don't call men by principle, it's sort of their role to be "conquered", not to be the "conquerors". Since she said she's gonna call you I don't think the case is lost. What I'd do is I'd go back there and say something like: "Ok, how about you give me YOUR number so I can take you out sometime next week? You like coffee?" or sth along these lines. If she'll say "no", just be cool with it and move on.

There’s no need to feel bad about what you did. You had the courage to go for what you wanted.
What would’ve been the conclusion outside of this? You just awkwardly stare at each other for several more months and it plagues you even more? No, that is not a healthy strategy nor the way forward.
I also want to add: Give it time. She doesn’t have to respond the first day. I’ve had a girl or two reach out to me like this in the past and despite being attracted to them, I still felt anxious about kickstarting the rapport. So give it a little more time and remember that you made the best move.

I dont get why you regret asking, dude you have the wrong mentality here. An approach takes balls and you should be proud for daring to do what most men can’t. That makes you more masculine and more worthy of being admire by girls. Whether she calls you or not is irrelevant, the point is that if you did what you wanted to do despite the difficulty and that’s what matters to build your confidence.
The problem is you are so focused on the result that you don’t enjoy the path to get there. It’s like saying that you want to win the race but you don’t like speed. Absurd
