So I meet my friend at the mall, whom I just turned onto a few pickup videos, and we go approach women. He was scared so he gave me $100 in 20s, and I would only give them to him after he approaches who I tell him to. After lots of arguing he did. Since I was telling him who to approach, he told me to approach.

I go direct on a few girls, with no success.

Then I go into a clothing store, and this HB 9 greets us. I accept her greeting, walk in and look around. On my way out I tell her she has good fashion sense, and asked for her opinion on weather or not I should die my hair blond. She thinks for a second, and says "Yes I think you should go for it!" blah blah. We start talking about jobs, and she also works at the zoo. I told her I went to the zoo the other day, and we were talking about camels, and peacocks. Then quickly I asked for her name, and she gave it to me. I told her that I have to meet my friend, and we should continue this zoo conversation another time. she says "Yeah just come on in again" then I tell her to put her number in my phone. She sounds surprised, and says "Oh OK". (It was a bit awkward, because first she starts saying her number, but I told her to hold on while I spell her name, then she says it again, but I tell her to put it in instead, but whatever) Then I tell her "I'm going to call it now, don't pick up" (this was so she will know it's me when she calls) she says "Oh OK. My phones over there anyway" I call it, and wait a few seconds, then say "I'll talk to you later" and I leave the store.

I don't know if I got her attracted, because I couldn't really pick up on any IOIs, (however, I always forget to look for em.) except maybe for when she totally thinks I should dye my hair.

I was thinking about calling her the day after tomorrow, during my lunch break, and say something like "I just saw a guy wearing a Camel T-shirt, so I thought I'd give you a call." Then keep it quick, and call the next day (Thursday, and try to set up some coffee Friday afternoon)

What do you guys think?

the fact that she engaged in the conversation and gave her number is an IOI. also by her saying is an invitation from her.


that would do and you could also tease her a lil with that too but dont stay too long conversing about the zoo. If you get a good vibe, for a close you could use a bit of C&F something like "I've got a lot going on this week but luckily for you i have thursday off bla bla bla" set up the day2. Just some thoughts I'm not an expert though.

Text her that you went to the zoo and some monkeys threw their shit at you. Now next time she starts her shift there she needs to give them a stern lecture about not doing that again or you won't come say hello to her

That might work.
I would go with a " Hey any chance they will let you out of your cage at the zoo? I'm doing <insert fun thing> later on, you should join me"

noo, not shit. she might think the word or experience is a bit too vulgar and might get a bit offended. you never know. instead, say rocks. that way you can say one bonked you on the head (sounds better than shit to the face. think she'll wanna see you again after that? hah).

either do that, or the camel shirt thing. i liked that transition.

Is it better to set up a date on the first call, or on the second call?

define "call." long conversation, or a quick, "hey, hows it going?" texting is more comfortable for girls, and theres no awkward silences. damn, i wish i could afford it though lol.
