So I was heading to town on the bus for my skate session with the bros, It was a pretty normal day for me I wasn't in any good or bad mood just in the middle, so while on the bus this German girl boarded the bus while she gave the bus driver info on where he should drop her I gave her a short glance and we made eye contact I didn't break until a few seconds later I think she broke eye contact first.

Anyways she sat right next to me on the bus which kinda threw me off (As a black dude here in Auckland NZ barely anyone will sit next to you on public transport for whatever reason) Anyways as she approached before sitting next to me I thought she was a girl I had met not so long ago at some seminar but as she got closer it was apparent she wasn't the one she just looked similar.

Long story short I don't hesitate speaking with her and we hit it off immediately lots of eye contact, her touching her hair (basic IOI's to look for) I give her my number but I also take hers she invites me to go to some spoken word event with her in a week which is all fine and dandy if I wanted to tag along as her orbiter friend which I don't intend to do. I need some tips on how to escalate and eventually get laid I'm a newbie to game and escalation however I'm not terrible at it. she said she might be with "friends" during the event which could be a shit test if it's with male friends or an opportunity for me if she has her female friends tag along.

Note* I'm not planning on contacting her at least a day before the event if one week is too long of a wait do you guys suggest I plan something different with her before the event ?
