Basically I closed on this girl back in October in a club, got her number and had some texts for a while after but I didn't pursue it properly straight away.

Fast forward to few weeks later, around November she turns up in different club in town and this night I happened to be quite done in with drink by time she appeared. Ended up chatting for a bit then agreed meet up at end of night, went back to my mates. End of night came and I was terribly drunk, she called me but I missed them due drink and ended up sending her a drunk rude text!

Next day called to settle things, apologise etc. and she was surprisingly alright about it and we flirted bit on phone - kinda missed golden opportunity to close in on her here but there we go....

Then fast forward to New Years, around Christmas she lost her phone so she text me saying new number etc. and had few exchanges up to New Year where she kept pressing on me to come down to our university city for New Years with her but sadly I was somewhere else that night.

Anyway, as it stands now shes still interested I reckon but I need to close this and make a move soon as - as in closing her asking her out for a bit see what happens and take it on from there.

What do you guys think?
1. Is she still interested
2. Shall I go for it
3. What shall I say closing in on phone asking to get together at some point next week?

First off, you missed a golden opportunity by not calling her right off to begin with. If she is still into you, however, you might have a shot. I think she just might be into you still. Take her out for an adventure...

You could have done more while the spark was still alive - and drinking didn't help with that I always laugh at people who say "I could have done X but I was too drunk" like it was just the way it was, and couldn't have happened any other way. I don't even drink in the first place and I just wonder what the point is when it's getting in the way. You got to watch all areas of your life to be attractive and this is one of them.

Anyway got a bit side tracked - you're too worried about her response.

What works for me is I guide the conversation (when the opportunities arise) to topics that get us to talk about what we're after right now. This solves a lot of problems. If she wants a relationship and you talk about how you're not into them right now (and that's how you honestly feel), then you know where you both stand. She might even be willing to try doing stuff with you, knowing it won't mean anything.

Then you will feel safer about testing boundaries with her. Eg. when she pays you out, tickle her, yes she will defend herself but watch the WAY she defends herself and the words she uses. You will gleen whether she's enjoying the physical contact or not. Usually trying to hold you to stop is a good sign - she's holding onto you.

Another example of something else I tried was, when she said we should sit on a couch, the first thing that came to mind was the "yawn and put arm behind girl" cliche you see on the movies. So I did that as cheesily as possible. Actually she didn't seem to notice, and I felt akward, so I said "Ah it just seemed like the 'thing to do' hahah" (I said it better than that but it's hard to remember details of thigns you did "in the moment") but she snapped out of it and said "Huh, what?" and I said what I was doing, and she went "ohhh!" and laughed, and made a funny comment about it. I chuckled too and moved on with other conversation. I didn't get a lot of information out of that particular one because I think she was completely oblivious but it's a good example of how you can just try stuff and as long as you're cool with whatever happens, there's no risk.

I think you could even pull that off without an initial joke if you wanted, eg. put your arm around her as you sit down, and feel her vibe, if she doesn't move at all - she's frozen - that means she's uncomfortable. in fact if she doesn't snuggle into you, you can assume she's uncomfortable and you can pull away and say "Whoops - that was just a habit, lol"
