So as I was sitting in my morning lecture, I noticed a cute little red-head who kept eying me (IOI 1). You know when you can just feel when someone is looking at you!? I keep my eyes on the professor for most of the class and eventually make eye contact with her and give her a smile, she smiles back. (IOI 2) Anywho, after the class, I time my departure right behind hers, and she looks back and smiles really big.
I said, " What was your name again?", she responds. I continue, "First year, second?" Shes a freshmen, (meh, flame me if you will, but you only live once). "Thats cool," I say. I continued with this pattern (which is bad, twenty questions is not a fun game!!!). I found out that she's a musician though, and so am I. We took an interest in each others musical abilities (talked about what we play, how long we've been playing, etc.). I'd like to say that her mutual interest was an IOI, but I can honestly say that on playback, I think I only got 2. As we waited for the elevator, there was an uneasiness about both of us, but before I pulled a time constraint, I asked for her number. She gave it to me without hesitation. I honestly think my looks had something to do with this working...which I will count as a fail.
I ran into her at the cafe' later, but had been eyeing another brunette at a table, she pretty much cut me off while I was on a collision coarse heading towards this other girl. "Hey! Fancy seeing you here!" I recovered. She seemed stoked to see me, but awkward at the same time. I dismissed myself, and said I had a class to catch (Lie! I was dying to get out of the awkward vibe, so I went down to the lounge and played the guitar for a half hour before my next class!)
So, now that I've gotten home and texted her, she seems to be responding quite well. My biggest issue with this is that I don't really know her, so watching what I say is going to be crucial. Also, I cant fuck this up, shes in my class for the whole semester!
What do you guys think, is the awkwardness enough merit dropping this?! Should I ask her out for a day date rather than texting to death? How long should I wait before getting a day date (I'm free this afternoon! lol
)? Any advice would be appreciated.
