you, my friend, should play it cool. if she's the one engaging you then let her. all u should do is flow with her. try to read her signals. the best way would probably be through eye contact.

for personal conversation, try a little cold reading, "hey you know what.. you seem like a cool, straight forward girl. have you always been like this?"
Hi mouse, hi everybody else.
I got a couple of remarks.
First: To kastle: My man, i am sorry, i am not playing fair, as i only quoted the parts i disagree with. I strongly doubt the effectiveness of the advice i quoted here.
If you mean, by playing it cool, be emotionally unaffected by the result, then i agree.
To mouse: so dont turn cold on her, dont be the unaffected cool frog, dont 'play' the hard-to-get-type here. this is kind of a paradox, as you should stay emotionally unaffected by the result. By that i mean: do everything in your might to get what you want, but accept the possibility of a loss like a man. if you cant get her, dont avenge any awkward feelings by acting like an asshole or something. You know what i mean.
Still to mouse: What is it you want with this girl? Figure that out for yourself and go for it. Dont be needy, you will be perfectly happy if you dont get it (meaning you are emotionally unaffected), but go for what you want. Be more direct.
To Kastle: you tell this man to keep reading her signals, i strongly disagree. He needs to get out of his head, stop lingering on thoughts like: is this behaviour positive or negative? Does she like me? Would she still like me if i do this? Trying to read signals is going to drive him mad.
To mouse: Dont try to analyse behaviour to find positive signals,
provoke behaviour that does not need to be analysed!. By being a bit more direct. You wanna go out with this girl? Tell her. Say: hey, i like you, lets go out so i can get to know u better. This is provoke behaviour from her that is not mind breaking: you either get a yes, which is obviously good, or you get a no, which is not so good. Thing to remember here: GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD. Stop thinking about what she is thinking of you. Grab your nuts (not literally ofc ), be a man and go for what you want. provoke behaviour!!
At mouse still: your text, the 10 hour delay, indeed, not really necessary. If you truly didnt have time to respond, owkeej, if you intended to do it... hmmm, not really necessary.
Now, back at Kastle: I do like the 'mini-date' to the store. That is actually a cool thing i think.
Another point i dont agree with: the cold reading. Dont do cold reading if you truly have a chance to get to know her. Instead of guessing who she really is, ask her who she is. What does she like in life? Why? What is she passionate about? Why? Get to know her by being direct, not by attempting to be interesting. Let her be the interesting person.
So, in short: dont play it all to cool and seem uninterested when actually you are interested. Be more direct with what it is you want or you will lose this one. Provoke behaviour from her in order to truly know where you are with her. Dont lose time trying to figure out what she is thinking.
Cheers!
