So I met this girl a couple days ago. She seemed very interested and was laughing at my conversation with my friend. She kept laughing and listening in. I introduced myself and everything and offered help on her writing assignments. The problem is that I never got her phone number. I got her email only. So I said "Fuvk it!" today and wrote her a short message saying something like "I enjoyed our brief conversation the other day. I would like to take you out for coffee or something when I get back into town sometime next week. Write me back with your phone number and maybe we can meet up sometime next week". It was short but to the point that I want to see her and talk to her some more. We will see if she responds. I sent that a few hours ago. My question is; under the circumstances, was that a good message to send? I was going to say something to get her number that day but I was distracted with my buddy. What you guys think? Think I will hear from her. She is much younger than me though....
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Never asked out a girl on email before....
