definitly, next step is number close.
If your at a University you can do it simply like, "so you ever go to the bars?"
"Cool, me too, I have to get back to work but we should party sometime, whats your number?"
Then after a day, txt her and be like 'hey its (your real name) how was the rest of class?' or something like that, then next you can say 'cool, you got msn?'
The reason I like msn or AIM is its really informal way of chatting to people. You can have quick easy conversations, take time to reply to things and its faster than text messaging and less formal as calling.
The key on msn though is have her blocked lots...you don't want to be seen online 100% of the day...appear offline is an awesome function
