Hi,
I met a very cute girl in the gym. Yesterday, I talked to her for the first time. I was really nervous, but I have a good feeling about it. I'll try to outline the conversation below.
Me: Do you always train alone?
She: Yes. It's better. I used to go with friends but we would only talk and laugh.
Me: I know what you mean.
She: Do you train alone?
Me: I usually go with 2 friends, but they aren't here today.
She: You come here pretty often, right?
Me: About 4 times a week. I life nearby, so whenever I want to train I get on my bike and come over here.
She: Okay, I've seen you here before.
Me: You life nearby as well, right?
She: Yes, in ....
Me: Okay, I saw you came here by bicycle.
Then, I said I was going to get some water. The conversation was really hard because I was so nervous. I almost stuttered and we both had a hard time to look in each other's eyes. Still, I have a good feeling about it. When she left the gym, she walked by me. She said something like: Well, bye.
My question: How do I continue? I really like her and I want to get closer to her as soon as possible, without being pushy. But I don't want to get in the 'friend-zone' either. Should I continue with some small talk and get to know her better first? Show interest in her by asking about school and stuff like that? When is it time to ask for her email or phone number?
Thanks!
