How should I read into this?

[nonameok]

I'm working at this company as a contractor and will only be here for about three to four months. I'm already in my third month.

There's this cute chick who started working in the area I'm in. Most of the time, she's way over on the other side of the room (it's a big place), but when she walks past I always gave her a smile and made positive eye contact. Anyway, tonight she was working about 15 feet away from me and to my surprise started a conversation. She asked how much longer will I be at the company, did I go to school for the work I do (I work in IT), and similar questions. I gave her simple answers but then asked questions about herself. Surprisingly, she told me a lot in the ten minutes we talked. I cut the convo short because I was called with work to do. Anyway, I came back about an hour later, and a half hour before I was to go home but she was really busy with work. But when I was leaving, she saw me and made a point to say bye.

Anyway, I don't want you all to think I'm getting hyped over one chick. I'm all about doing me and improving myself. However, girls don't make conversation with a guy unless a) they really need information or b) they like the guy and want to talk. I wouldn't mind dating this girl, and it's in my favor since I don't really work there. So, since we have a rapport now, how should I proceed?

And today I went inside a drug store and this cute girl was wearing a scarf, so I made a C&F statement (I guess it was C&F) and I could tell instantly she would've talked longer and her body language showed her insecurity. She was all stiff and proper at first, not really smiling and when I made a joke about her scarf, she smiled and giggled and her posture totally change. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to chat. But it proved that if a guy says something to a girl that's halfway clever, you can get their attention and possibly those digits. The key is not to plan or regurgitate something you've read on the Internet.

I haven't had much opportunity to hang out a mall and practice, maybe this weekend. But every chance I get, I'm gonna to chat up a girl until it becomes second nature.

Thanks in advance for any advice regarding the chick at the job.

About the girl on the job -- sounds like she's interested and you're right she wouldn't talk to you unless she's interested or needs info/help/etc... were you flirting with her or was it just a regular conversation? If you were able to come up with a good CF line on the spot with the scarf girl I am assuming you incorperated that into your convo with this other girl. Last thing if you're hoping to move this thing along I suggest asking her to lunch or something innocent similar to that where you see her. Keep in mind digits are not the pen-ultimate goal here -- they are only a tool to be used if time or the situation does not permit further interaction. If digits were the goal it would really only take 5 minutes to obtain them -- if you're persistant without desperation it's really not a difficult task. Anyways - good luck with that.

I wasn't really flirting with her. Actually, I was into my work when she started the convo. I think I'll get to know her a bit more, she already said some things I can follow up on (girls like when you listen), and innocently ask her to lunch. See what happens. Ever since changing my internal attitude, I have noticed people in general talk to me or like being around me. I have to get used to it.
