Ok I'm super new here. But I've been reading for the past couple weeks. Mostly on inner game. I think I'm pretty decent looking. Tall. I dress real nice.

For the longest I had long relationships so I never had to pick up girls. But now I'm out on my own again I realized I'm lost!

Today I got a pretty cute girls number at the mall. She was working at a FroYo place. I acted like I was hesitant about getting some then said does your number come with it? I blushed a bit and was nervous. I pretty much knew it was pointless as it was far away and I don't drive. Also she was 17 ( I'm only 22 though don't worry not a pedo lol). But the point was to get over my anxiety and just do it. And I succeeded as far as that goes.

Anyway I realized as I was texting her I don't know where to start with girls. Like recently I got a ride home from this really gorgeous girl and I wasn't so much nervous just I couldn't think of anything to say. And as the time went by I go nervous because of the silence. And that was like a perfect scenario. Me and her alone in a car to 30 min.

And now with the girls number I got tonight, I'm lost. I did the normal like stuff. But I felt weird stiffly asking her questions 'where do you go to school' 'what do you like to do' all boring questions like that. I want to know how to start up some playful banter that will lead to other things. While texting. And what kinds of things to talk about *in person* if or when I ever get a first date with some girl.

Also question regarding to value. I'm young, no car/license, and I can go out at nights or drink so that scene is out. I guess it will be all daygame for me. Anyway, with all those things pointing against me how do increase my value?

I'm not like a lost cause or anything I go a lot of good things going for me. My swag is on point, I'm smart, funny, opinionated (guess it couldbe a bad thing). I just need some shoves in the in direction. Any and all advice much appreciated.

I can't really tell you what you're after, but I can give you one piece of advice - try not to find too much out about her via text, email, phone or whatever; save that for face to face. That's not to build mystery or tension or any of that crap, it's seriously just so when you do finally meet, you haven't already asked all of the basic questions and you still have topics to cover.

That's really all I can help with, sorry!
Good luck!
