9. Ask clearly while the energy is good
Do not stretch a strong five-minute conversation until it dies.
Say, “I’ve enjoyed talking to you. Let’s continue this over coffee—what’s your number?” Clear interest saves both people from decoding vague intentions.
8. Make the approach about compatibility—not approval
Do not enter thinking, “How do I make her like me?”
Ask yourself: Is she warm? Curious? Playful? Do I enjoy her energy? Evaluating both directions removes the pedestal and makes your confidence feel real.
