Ok. So we went out for a date. It was pretty fun, i got lot's of good body language and IOI's, but I didn't do a very good job on escalating....Anyways, my question is:

So you went on date?What do you do after if you are interested to get to know her better? Be direct? Or? Any advice....

you said it... be direct and get to know her better... call her two days after the date just to say whats up.. bring up stuff she mentioned on the date abotu herself and what she does... next time you hang out should be with her and her friends. she probably mentioned something about you to her friends and they'd want to see you ( i am assuming you didn't creep her out or anything).. so ask her , her plans for the weekend, and go out drinking with her and her group of friends (or vice versa).. her getting to know you better and being comfortable with you won't come through dialogue, it will come through just chilling with her over and over.... so don't worry too much about what you need to say.. just be yourself and don't care about her judging you..

ye. What you are saying, that's what I was going to do, just wanted to validate myself or to see if there's a better approach or some trick.

Her friends are the problem, they live in different city, and I'm not willing to drive there. She came to study to university and I don't think she's very close to anyone in this city yet.
