So, i was leaving for class yesterday, and a girl I'm interested me struck up a conversation. After we finished talking, she gave me her number to text her for some info. course, she's struck convos with me before. Anyhow, a subtle way to give someone a number? Should I run with this?

Maybe she really likes you as a friend, maybe as a potential boyfriend. Who knows. Why don't you just run with being her friend first and see where it leads.

if she gave you her number, she trusts you're not a crazy person. treat it casually and it may go somewhere unless you're that guy that hits the friend zone immediately.

please don't run into it, you will trip and fall on your face and she will walk away.

she came to you with her number, calmly and passively ask her if she'd like to hang out, think of something interesting to do as friends, if she's really into you you'll know by the end of the night, if shes playing hard to get, don't pursue it and just ignore the whole situation while dropping subtle hints that shes still awesome. but don't by any means accept the friend zone if you like her. thats a death sentence with all her friends.

I wouldn't start reserving any weekends in Tahoe or anything just yet, but just take it one day at a time and get to know her. See where it goes. Try inviting her out to lunch or something.

I don't like the hanging out idea. After you text her (it sounds like what she is expecting) a few times, call her and ask if she'd like to study for a test (go over notes, work on a paper ... you DO need to do schoolwork, yes?) and get some food with you (everybody needs to eat). If you have a good time and she seems receptive, then you can ask her on a real date.

ask yourself, even if she wasn't interested, what is the risk?

the fact that you're asking us, tells me that you're perceiving some risk there.

i don't know your situation, but i am going to guess that the only risk is inside your head, regarding how you might feel if she says no.

Not perceiving any risk. Was curious that's all. I actually see a ton of girls where I'm at so it's not like it'll be a big loss or anything though I think I know what to do and say and what NOT to say. I've learned from past mistakes.

And the running with it was a figure of speech btw.

everyone here wants to see a successful relationship, and wants nothing but your happiness.

so how do you plan on doing it?

Most guys have to beg, say cheesy lines and spend lots of money on drinks to get a number.

Bravo to you for doing nothing and then looking around at CD people saying, "What's this?"

Lol well that's because I refuse to beg any girl for her number tbqh.

Orin, I think I know what I'm going to do, or at least have an idea of what I'm going to do. I'm just going to flat out ask her if she wants to go out sometime. no beating around the bush or dodging the point. just a flat out question.
