This is my 1st post: This is not a sarge...just happenstance. Just trying to focus on what I should be doing in the future. I'm trying to initiate a back and forth text before I call her to build up time and comfort...since the beginning was soft.
I'm tired as hell from the night before & it's right after work....overloaded on caffeine so compensate and I was off. Walking into the subway obliviously I cut this girl off in the turnstile. I realize what I did and let her pass. She smiles & says something I could barely hear. Soft speaker. So as I walk down the stairs to the train I walk up to the side of her slightly turn away and ask:
Me: "Do you live around here?"
HB9: "Yeah actually just a couple blocks"
Me: Yeah cause I think I've seen you before on that street with the firebird graffiti on the wall. I noticed you from your mascara.
HB9: " Yeah I think I know where you're talking about. What do you do around here?"
Me: I work right around the corner so I walk that way all the time. Are you headed to work yourself?
HB9: No, I'm going to meet a friend.
...I noticed the book she had and we start chatting about that and I show her the book i'm reading...*I look away*
HB9: Soooo...do you want to get my #?
I reply sure and give her my phone...and I start talking about what I plan to do this year etc w/ the business i'd like to start. I tell her I have ideas and she asked for a couple. Not a smooth delivery on my part because I'm kinda tweaked out on little sleep. We get off the train together and she's going the other way. We go to shake hands (but I thought that was lame) so i went in for a hug but it was semi-awkward but she complied and I told her she was sweet..then she reiterates...call me.
So I txt her later:
Tuesday:
me: it was nice meeting you..i'm not that dodgy normally. have a good night.

Her: That's what they all say!

me: damn, I thought the use of 'dodgy' was original

Thursday:
me: good morning

no reply
me: i'm in borders & it made me think of the book you are reading but I can't remember what is was....
no reply as of 5pm.
My plan of action was that if don't hear back from her to just call her next weekend. Yah or Nah.
Feel free to grill me. I'm trying to figure this shit out on my own through books n online material.
