| This is my first post for advice, I hope this makes sense.
Last night I was in a bar. I was actually quite hung over, gaming wasn't really on my radar. However, without really trying, I said hi to a girl and we very quickly got into conversation about my accent. Then the conversation continued... we talked about skiing, snowboarding, summer sports, where we were from in the UK, travelling and most interestingly of all, university courses.
She revealed to me that she studied furniture design mainly because she loved the smell of wood being cut. From that point on she let loose about it all, I mean she was talking what to me seemed like jibberish about furniture. When I teased a little about being a furniture geek she agreed with me telling me whilst grabbing my arm and pulling me a little that her friend often have to drag her away for seeming a little crazy when she goes on about this.
Anyway, after this chat my friends decided they were going to move on to another bar and there was no way I was staying out for more drinks, I had a lot of sleep to catch upon and yet another early morning to follow. I felt I had read some good signs from this conversation but I had no idea where to go with things next or how to close at all. As left it was somewhat of an it was really nice to meet you, maybe we'll see each other on the mountain tomorrow. I'm trying not to leave these things down to chance so here are my questions.
Am I right in thinking my rapport building was going in the right direction?
Rather than getting a girls details as I'm leaving, this makes me feel a bit awkward, should I be aiming to get them at any point when we discover we have mutual interests.
If she is talking away about things I don't get and grabbing me is that a sure fire way of her showing me she's interested?
What would you have done in this situation?
Be honest, hey be brutal. I know the answers should be fairly obvious, I'm just after some feedback on what I think was a missed opporunity
