I approached a girl today at my college I saw walking by me and managed to get her number after a brief conversation with her. She seemed somewhat happy I spoke to her.

I opened by asking her if we had a class together before or something because she seemed familiar to me, (not really), to which she said no of course but did ask what class I thought we were in together at some time. So I bs'd up an answer and said some management class, but I couldn't remember which one because they all kind of blur together. I then said but I don't know what you're majoring in so maybe not, to try to move the conversation to getting her to talk about herself some, which worked. She said it wasn't her because she's majoring in biology, so I said that's a cool interesting major and that my cousin majored in that. She then asked me what his name is, to which I said "its a she but she goes to Clemson. (kind of in a funny way, I think it got a small laugh from her idk). What made you want to major in that?" She then told me she wants to be a vet. (I can't stand animals inside or people being all over animals like kissing them or letting animals lick them so that will be a MAJOR issue if I date or go out with this girl, glad I found that out fast lol)!

I can't remember where the conversation went from there but we somehow got to her saying she is going to be studying abroad in Australia for 2 months, which I said something like thats awesome and that I would love to go to Australia. Then somehow I broke off to saying I've been to New York but not Australia (idk how the hell I brought up New York or me NOT having been many places, probably the only big thing I did wrong I think). She then said she doesn't like New York because its too cold to which I agreed, and said I'm from here (South Carolina) and even SC is too cold for me lol.

(The conversation was drifting off and going too long and I could tell, I should have went to getting her number faster, but my timing still isn't good. I still tend to be either way too fast and not make a connection with girls or I connect but then lose the connection by rambling on too long until I say something stupid lol).

So about this point she said she had to go do something so I agreed saying I had to get to class, but the word class didn't come to me for some reason!!!!!!! Worse time ever for a word to not come to you! I was like "Yeah I have to go too I have to get to a... uh..." Her: "Class" Me: "Yeah a class lolz."

It probably didn't come to me since I didn't actually have a class lol. But then I said "Well if you give me your number we can finish talking later though" and she gave it to me and told me to just text her so she'll have my number.



I introduced myself early at some point during the conversation, I don't remember when exactly and shook hands as I told her my name if that matters at all.



So what now? This was at about 11 or something like that earlier today (Friday). I'm thinking I should wait until tomorrow sometime to text her correct? And find something funny to text to her, like maybe tease her about something relating to animal lovers or vets or something?

Also, if it matters I think I *might* have picked up on a VERY slight accent, so she might not be American, but if so, she has been here a long time or is from somewhere similar to here for sure. And to give background on her, she's blond, pretty attractive and probably not really aware of it from how she acted, and was on the phone just before I approached her.


Edit: Also feel free to tell me what I should have done or not done too. I'm new to approaching girls because I was with my ex for 4 years until about 5-6 months ago. I have approached girls since then, but some had boyfriends and some I just failed miserably with because I assume I'm going to be rejected due to my past. I had a speech problem until I was maybe 17-18 so I was mocked intensely during middle school and could never get a girlfriend during highschool either. Its not that I have a fear of rejection, its just because I have a complex I'm working on getting rid of I assume rejection is coming and that changes how I act.

Mostly right now I'm getting better at just approaching girls I'm attracted to and holding normal conversation with them, not saying something really stupid.

Okay I did not read your entire post so you don't have to take my consideration in to this. But a number is really not that big of a deal.

From my own experiences, you don't need more than 10 seconds to two minutes to get a girls number. Hell I find it odd if I go a week without getting someones number.

What you should try to do now is get a first meeting. Invite her to a party or something. However, you need to make sure there is enough connection for you two to want to spend time together. You can't meet each other because you're lonely. Therefore I find it preferably to talk a bit with her at first. Run some text and phone game. Chatt with her on facebook. Get enough interest to justify another meeting

Yeah... I already blew it with this girl, although its not that big of a deal because just from our first conversation when we met and I got her number I figured out she isn't LTR material for me. Even if she was, she said she's leaving to go to Australia for a couple of months soon.

I made a post about it in the general questions section, its the esp thread.
