Keeping it short.

I teach guitar and music theory privately. At one of my students houses, his mother has a friend (I'm 22 she's probably late 20's early 30's) who works as their nanny in exchange for extra money on the side. She's scheduled there when I teach, so we see each other and exchange a little convo, but we never really talk too much. Anyway, I think she's hot (HB9), but I never tried to pick her up because of the environment that I am in.

So earlier this week she asked if I was in a band. I said I was currently putting a project together, yada yada yada. So she ended up giving me her phone number (because she knows a lot of musicians, she says).

Anyway, I always take this stuff as an IOI. However, I'm stuck in this situation on getting her out of the normal environment we usually see each other in, and moving somewhere else.

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions, on how you would try to pull a customer's friend without coming off too "gamey" for the sake of business.

You're right to assume interest.

I think it's probably legitimate interest, as well. She didn't have to give you her number.

If it were me, I'd text her after your next lesson - after seeing her - and tell her you 'meant to ask her something when you saw her, but forgot'.

You're a little vague on what her connection is to other musicians - but maybe you can use that (if it applies?) - "can I buy you a beer to discuss how you know X" (you'll need to adapt that to whatever scenario you can use...
