as the title suggests i was opened by this girl....and my game stops there as she is now the chaser...

i know there is attraction as she opened me, usually i would reward this by giving her a little attention then escalating and so on...but how can i go about this without sounding needy?

there is a big difference between actually talking to her face to face (or phone) and emailing...for one there is no way to tell if im joking or serious, without rapport..

i know the goal is to create a time bridge for later on, but im usually the one who takes the game to her...

You're thinking too much, wow. She initiated, you haven't even formally introduced yourselves to each other and your already seizing up before even putting the car in gear. Go splash some water on your face and come back.

Hey herEs an idea, why don't you respond with "hey, how are you?:)"

I think, sadly, too many guys become game geeks that they can't even make a move without conferring with 'community'.

Honestly a lot of the PUAs mean squat. It's the confidence they give a guy which compels him to approach, not always the technique in itself.

Here's an opening "hi!", try it soMe time, it works! I call it the Papichulo method, I'm patenting it too so tell all your friends.

is that how it sounded like? i was just trying to get some pointers on how not to come out as desperate or something similar later on when i get her number thats all...

She opened you, that's a good IOI.

She's also likely willing to buy into your frame - therefore, suggest the two of you do something (don't wait on it). Be assertive (not aggressive) and take the initiative in asking her out on a date. Look, if you ruminate over your concerns about being needy, you'll act very self-conscious around her; this is a sign of a lack of confidence and is soon proceeded by the scent of fear (that she wont like you) - women and small children have the uncanny ability of sniffing out fear like a shark can sniff out a droplet of blood from miles away.

Before you take any action, it's imperative you first set your head right. State your objective (e.g. I'm going to hang out with her for a bit to determine if she's good/cool enough to hangout with me). Neediness leads a guy down the dangerous path of seeking validation from the girl, and this is what most women have grown to expect from men and it is an extremely undesirable quality. If you take a few breaths, step back a bit and reframe the situation as one where you're the prize, and that you are worth pursuing you'll disarm your anxiety and be more 'natural' around her. Two of you will likely have a far smoother, more exciting date if you can keep a confident face about things, rather than continually trying to please her - as a result she'll also be looking forward to seeing you again instead of going home being weirded out by your awkwardness or turned-off by your lack of confidence.

I wouldn't go and ask her out on a date until you've got a plan/idea of where you want to take her. By having a plan it shows initiative and that is an attractive quality. If she suggests something else, however, be open to that too.

Realize you're dating someone, you're not trying to wife her (you hardly even know her and that's the point of dating). If you think you're coming down with a case of One-nitis, be sure you pursue opportunities with other women and not throw all your eggs in one basket with a chick you've just barely established a rapport with.

Now thats some good advice! appreciated.
