Hi everyone,
(First of all, thank you GFRE SH2DEF for responding and giving me advise)
Since the first post, I have run into the HB exactly 3 three times. The first time, 2 or 3 days after first post, we crossed paths when walking through the hallway; I said hi and how she was doing and she said hi back and asked me the same question, then we parted ways. It was a brief, yet slightly playful, encounter. The second time was almost a week after the first post, I went to the communal kitchen to watch some t.v., a few minutes later, HB walks in to cook her own meal; we say the same things that we said to each other when we talked in the hallway and I just go back watching t.v.; since this was before I read GFRE SH2DEF’s reply, I was thinking of what I should say to her, but every time I was ready to talk to her, I would either: chicken out and say nothing or see that she was using her phone and not talk at all to not disturb her.
The third time I saw her was just a few hours ago, as I was going to my dorm from eating out, I saw HB walking from the kitchen to her dorm room. She was too far away for me to say hi without yelling, but I knew that she was still cooking. After a couple of minute of deciding whether or not I should go into the kitchen, knowing full well that I wasn’t going to prepare food, I decided to go and say that I was going to watch t.v. if asked. I went to the kitchen and turned on the t.v., a minute later, HB walked in and it was her that said hello to me first.
After the initial greeting, I asked her
Me: has anything excited happened?
HB: No, not really
Me: Really? Ok.
There was silence between the two of us for about two minutes, then I decided to use part of GFRE SH2DEF’s suggestions/tips,
Me: whatever you’re cooking smells really good. (I decided to not neg her)
HB: thank you, but it’s just macaroni.
Me: Nah, but it still smells good though.
I didn’t make up a DHV story because, I was afraid it wasn’t going to sound genuine and real. Instead, I reminded her that she told me that she was from Belize.
Me: …what’s it like there?
HB: yada, yada, yada,… there’s basically one season over there, summer, all year long.
Me: do you prefer when it is warm or when it is cold?
HB: the temperature right now (somewhat cool) is okay, but I prefer when it is warm.
Me: do your hands get cold or is does your whole body? (there’s a reason for this question)
HB: (she said something like) it’s not cold now, but it is usually my entire body.
Me: okay. For me, my hands are always cold, it doesn’t matter what temperature it is outside.
HB: really?
Me: yeah, you want to feel my hands? (she does and gets a surprised look on her face)
HB: wow. They really are cold (the temperature in the kitchen was slightly warm).
Me: I know, but you know what they say, “Cold hands, warm heart.” (she gave me an “aww that’s so cute” reaction)
The reason I did the cold hand question was to get some sort of kino and this was the only way that I could think of to get it (she was near the stove cooking while I was seated a few feet away). We kept the conversation going after that, talking about her homeland and mine, what our hobbies are, what shows/movies we watch, and what we were majoring in. I noticed that when the conversation would go stale and look like it would end, she would reinitiate it by asking me a different question. In the middle of the conversation, when she asked me about my hobbies
HB: what do you do for fun?
Me: I do martial arts, go to the gym, and do rock climbing.
HB: (something along the lines of) I did rock climbing twice and it wasn’t until I first did it that I found out that I am afraid of heights.
Me: would you ever do it again?
HB: yeah, but I never have anyone to go with.
Me: do you want to go together sometime and rock climb?
HB: yeah
Me: (I said something like) is it okay if I have your number?
HB: sure
I number closed and told her that I’m going to send a text to let her know that it’s me. I texted her, “Hey it javi. Hot Puerto rican guy” (there was a small typo in the text). I got this idea from Vince on pualingo.com (she didn’t check her phone immediately, so I didn’t see what her reaction was). I’ve never had a lot of experience with women and i plan on taking her out this weekend, so if anyone has any tips for me not to fail (especially with building rapport), please say so or give me any constructive criticisms that would have made my game better.
Sincerely, Javi50984.
