So I went to take my dog out for a walk, and there was a fine woman smoking a cig at her garden gate. She called me over and started asking about my dog, then introduced herself. Just made some small talk and she said she's seen me around the area a few times (I didn't even know she was my neighbor). I want to get to know her better, and i don't want to just randomly knock on her door. How should I go about it?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
How should I progress with her?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

She asked about your dog and.... what? What happened? Did you get her number? Why not?
She asked about the dog, then started initiating with me, she introduced herself and called me babe. Just general questions. And the reason why i didn't try to get her number is cause my phone is broken atm. But she lives 4 doors away for me so it's easier. Also, she's like... 28, and i'm 20.

She called you babe then what did you do? Blush?... did you giggle?
You just got friendzoned.

Basically she introduced herself, i introduced myself, and she said 'nice to meet you babe' and then we hugged.
EDIT: I most definitely didn't get friendzoned. She stumbled her words when she said bye, and the 'zone' doesn't even exist.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
