Sitting at a bar in town with a friend chatting, meeting new people and enjoying our night. My friend was trying to win wee fest tickets the bar was SPAM so we where glued at the bar right in front of a register, facing out away from the bar keeping social and approachable.

HB7 walks in front of us giving us a smile, and stops behind my buddy at the bar to get a beer. She glances back over around my buddy directly at me, IOI.
So I initiate a conversation with her, get her name and quickly move onto other subjects. Introduced my friend and the conversation get's moved to Wee Fest (country music). My buddy turns around as our conversation quickly moves to a number close.
Me: So you don't like country music?
Her: No, I would love to go and meet people there but would wear earmuffs so I wouldn't have to hear the music
Me: Well then how would you have ever met me, and how would you have conversations with people?
Her: Bring a note book and write, I'd figure something out
Me: I have a better idea! How about we text, only problem is I don't have your number!
Her: Oh, That was really smooth. (Smiling and laughing)
Me: (I snicker at her and get serious) Really though, I know you wanna hang out sometime! (hand her my phone)

She had a little trouble with the phone but we laughed through it, hug and say our see you later. I tell her if I see her after the drawing I'll talk to her.

After Bar close walking back to my car, I sent a text to her so she had my number just letting her know who I was and referenced the conversation

Me: (2:30am) This is a VIP# store with care -Name
p.s. now we can text

Her:(10:22am) Typical 20 something year old douche bag!
I was thrown off by this and slightly confused but, recovered and found out later why.

Me:(11:56am) But, all my friends say I'm an attractive funny guy, someone lying!

Me:(5:30pm) I suppose I can forgive you

Her:(5:51pm) you are definitely attractive and funny, but collecting numbers from any lady you can and then mass texting them at bar close seems kinda silly to me

Me:(5:53pm) Huh... I didn't even think about the time I was actually just giving you my number so you knew when I text you, to get coffee sometime

Her:(6:34pm) Oh... I'm sorry for misjudging then

Don't respond to that thought I would let her digest it
This is the next day (3)

Me:(4:21pm) so I'm available for some coffee tomorrow morning, bring your earmuffs I've been on a country kick lately

Her:(5:50pm) Haha, surprised that you remember! Im in st paul at a wedding this weekend, im not sure what time we will be back tomorrow but I can let ya know

I left it at that we'll see if she text me tomorrow, if not wait a few days and try again

Let me know what you guys think, and next time I'll try and keep track of the conversation leading up to the number close better.

UPDATE:
07/29/2012
Her: (1:55pm) still in st. paul ill be back this evening.. or a raincheck!

Me: (6:22p) Just got off work, heading home to change, caribou or Starbucks?

Her:(6:33p) Caribou they have normal sizes hah!

Me:(6:48p) Alright I'm ready to go! See you there

Her: (6:49p) When will you be there?

Me:(6:50pm) About 10 min it's across town
Remembered there was 2 Caribous in town so
Me:(6:53p) By the mall

Her:(7:00p) Ok, ill be there in about 20.. it's pretty far from clear lake

Me:(7:01p) Aww, is there one closer to half way?

Her:(7:03p) The on on 25th and division.. but either one works!


I had just driven past the one on 25th so just took a right and text her
Me:(7:05p) 25th it is

Immediately when I walked into Caribou she called and told me there was construction (I was aware I had just driven through it) She explained she didn't know where she was and I just laughed and cracked a joke about her living in the area and getting lost.

She showed up and I had just ordered my drink so I said "Hi" gave her a hug, and we went to sit down.
This is wear I feel like i fell off my game don't know why I did but choose to sit at a table with the chairs across from each other so was unsure how to build kino...

I kept eye contact while she was talking (which she did most of) I remained calm and kept my conversation at a slow pace, after a short time I managed to take control of the conversation tempo, leaning back and relaxing she started to slow her speech, Looking me in the eyes and smiling!

I was still unable to get physical with her to build sexual attraction which was my fault and terrible decision to sit across from her.

I was able to use some time bridging to have her agree to a 2nd date, I let her know I was really busy this week until Thursday when I had off, tentatively sent up a date inviting her to hang out before bouncing to a party with me, told her I would text her with time specifics later.

Headed out side with my arm around her and said "see you later this week", gave her a hug and a kiss on her cheek, and proceeded to look her directly in the eyes, She gave me a smile, I kinda moved in like I was going to kiss her, watched her eyes closed and stopped. Let my grip go and told her she better get going!

She laughed smiled gave me a little push, Again let her know to expect a text sometime winked and headed to my car.

Guys I would love some feedback and criticism, ideas on better ways to approach a coffee situation to be able to build kino and a solid sexual attraction.

I think I have been improving my overall game, getting much more comfortable with initiating conversations and keeping them interesting (even if I'm rambling nonsense, HB's seem to be more interested), and seamlessly integrating sexual escalation.
I was at home unwinding getting ready for tomorrow, when I got a text from the same girl, Not expecting anything till we hung out on Thursday.

HB:(8:07p) I think a few friends are gonna hit up the veranda for some jazz tonight! if you're into that you are welcome to come

Me:(8:24p) Sounds fancy do I need to put on my tux?
Never heard of the bar or the club we were going.

HB:(9:05p) Haha! Well guys always look fabulous when they spiff up buuuttt youd be pretty overdressed! I think were gonna try to get there around 945 and hope that they are still playing

Me:(9:14p) So basically your going to the bar for drinks lol

HB:(9:19p) No, im not drinking... most likely haha! I just have to work till 930 and they dont have a specific time that they play till... it varies a lot. But theres a possibility of getting a beer afterwards. Ya never know!

Me:(9:21p) Hey now (her name) don't press your luck!

HB:(9:24p) Who said it was with you?! Haha

Me:(9:28p) Well, looks like we'll have to discuss this matter. Over a drink tonight!

HB:(9:43p) Alrighty ill let ya know when we get there.. prolly closer to 10
She text me again shortly after letting me know she was down there with her friends

Me:(10:04p) Alright that right down town correct

HB:(10:05p) Yep! Across from the house of pizza and whatnot

Got there and parked down the street about a block, I finished the song i was listening to in the car and took the short walk to the bar, I showed up they were out on the patio drinking and I waved. Walked in the building and pulled some cash out to grab a beer,
Her and her friends one HB7 and one HB8 walked by and looked me over She stopped to let me know what was going on
"we are going to sit on the other patio"
Me: alright i'm going to grab a beer and I'll be right out.
Get my beer and walk out onto the patio to see her two friends sitting there, she had pulled up a chair for me to sit by them.

Introduce myself as "my HB I'll refer to her as just HB" wasn't there, and start chatting about general things. What they're in St. Cloud for? where there from? and some other filler questions.
Stayed relaxed and slowed my speech to keep myself calm, also trying to slow things down and control the pace of the conversation.
Everything went well got them to laugh and created a good SPAM,

HB returned and joined the conversation she told me she needed to be gone by 11:00pm, things were flowing really well we talked about the new SPAM movie, the HB8 was talking about how hot SPAM was and just when she finished her statement I chimed in with,
"So your attracted to guys who wear mask and fight crime then?"

She didn't know what to say but got a smile and a laugh from everyone.
The Jazz music stopped and we decided to grab one more beer from a bar across the street, of course i was alright with this.
Walked out of the place with 3 pretty ladies, and bounced to the other bar.

Get to the other bar and again, pick a shitty place to sit, right at the bar... However I played this to my advantage to have HB sit next to me. Conversation split into two groups so I figured I was done for, I either had to ignore her friends or ignore her. Lucky she saw a few people she knew and said she was going to say "hi" so it gave me a break to initiate a conversation with her friends to build value so I wouldn't get cock blocked if it came down to it!

One of the girls I could tell was kinda leading the conversation we had at the other bar so I figured get approval from the leader and make sure to keep it interesting. Brought a pointless conversation sports, to get them to turn and talk. Instantly went to
"So how long have you known HB?"
I did this for two reasons I knew one of them was with her the night I got her number and I knew what the next question was going to be cause they had no idea who I was!
Got a life long friend answer from both the girls, I knew it was coming...
They both looked at each other and asked
"How did you meet HB"
Simply said
"Here on Thursday night"
They get huge Shit grins on there faces and laugh
HB8: "Ohhhh, your that guy... I heard about that"
HB7: still snickering "I honestly though when you were talking you just knew each other"
Me: I laugh and look them in the eyes "I didn't even realize what time it was when text her..."
HB8: "Didn't you say something really cocky too..."
Me: "of course but, I never said anything about her meeting me anywhere was a simple text to give her my number"
They snicker, Smile give each other a look
"well you don't seem like that bad or a guy"
They gave me a few more compliments about being interesting and outgoing.
I smiled just as HB was walking back.

Turned my focus back onto her, The two girls get up to have a cigarette, I'm to into this conversation to offer to go stand outside with them, I just simply say
"Have one for me" with a smile on my face
The two girls didn't show back up and HB got a text from them after we had ordered the last beer for the night saying
"Don't be mad we wanted to leave you two alone"
This actually gave me a good confidence boost and some positive energy, I had literally destroyed the cock block before it even became and issue!
Conversation get more sexual, brought up role playing was touching her and sexually escalating, It had already rolled past 11:30p and the conversation was still going but I sensed her urgency, to get home and get some sleep before returning to work at 6:30am, I stood up first and she looked at me baffled
Me: "You need to get home and get some sleep"
I lead the way out from up stairs, got a random fist pound from some old drunk man telling me I did a good job...
Out side asked where she parked, She parked the opposite way of me. I rotated the physical position of the conversation so I was blocking her way.
Hug, this time held on and went for the kiss, already knew she was going to be O.K. with it from the day before when she had closed her eyes. Short make out session out on the street, mentioned Thursday one more time, she committed this time with a verbal
"Yes, sounds like a blast I'll be there"
