Saw this cute girl with her friend at the cafe. Approached her when I was leaving the place since she was sitting near the entrance. The conversation goes like this:

Me: Hi! I have to know something from you She: Yeah sure (in a welcoming manner) Me: What’s your name? She: I am Name Me: Name, I think you are really beautiful She: Thanks! Me: Are you single? She: Yes I am Me: Do you want to go out for a coffee sometime? She: Yeah sure. I’m up for it. She: Do you want my social media or number? Me: Yeah, you can put your number here (handed my phone) She: (saved her number on my phone)

Had a short trivial chat after that. I didn’t forget to talk to her friend too. Closed.

Hope it doesn’t result in a flake. I have managed to get numbers before, but have never honestly expressed myself in any of those cases and played it safe. So changed the approach this time and has been my smoothest until today.

UPDATE: Tried calling her last night. But the number got blocked (She didn’t had my number) Texted her today, asking her schedule to meet up. Got a response that the call came up as anonymous and said it’s better that we don’t meet up since she just got out of a relationship, and realized later after the interaction that it’s better that she don’t go out on any dates for a while. IMPLIES she wasn’t interested in the first place, or changed her mind later.

MY TWO CENTS: #1 Contact her as soon as you number close to set up the date and set it up before you leave the scene. #2 Don’t wait until you have the date before approaching others.
