Long time reader, first time poster. I've been a member of CAD's LL for about a year, so compliments to Thor and Stonez if they're reading.
This is a common situation (read: problem) for me. I'm confident enough and well oiled enough to approach random girls at the shops, or in cafes or wherever, but I have a lot of trouble closing.
At the moment, I have an awesome rapport going with a girl I met on Tuesday morning at a Study Skills workshop at my school. She goes to a different school, but lives within a 10 minute bike ride of me.
Tomorrow will be the last day I'll see her, unless I close. I suggested lunch today; "I'm REALLY hungry, we should go grab some lunch." However, she declined, because she had "a ton of work to do", but also because her sister had flown back from work in Japan to see her for her birthday, so i'm taking it as a valid reason not to go, rather than a shut out. Also, we spent a good 10 minutes talking about random stuff after that, while I walked her to the front of the school.
She's a really nice person, and very interesting: she's studying to be a pilot, and all the stuff that goes with that. I've been negging her about the fact that her knees crack every now and then, and she playfully hits me. And etc.
However, despite the awesome time i've had with her for the last few days, I'm struggling with the close. That is, getting her number etc. I know, it's such a simple thing, but this is really the only thing I have trouble with in the entire game. Approaching and everything after the close I'm great with, but the actual close is always awkward and not very effective.
Here are some ways i've considered:
- We sit together in the tutorial, but there isn't much opportunity to talk, except for my occasional jokes or witty comments. Would it be viable to say, write down on my book "Name: (linebreak) Number:"? Just keep it simple?
- After the tutorial, simply saying "You know, i've really enjoyed this week. Write your number down *offer something to write on*"
- Something else?
It may be of worth to know that we seem to get on really well, despite only having perhaps 3 hours contact time.
Help me with the close! I have ~18 hours
Thanks guys.
