Instead of messaging, call her on the phone. Women love the sound of a man’s voice, and you can have better communication in real time on a phone call than you’d have with a silent, back-and-forth timed text. Besides, texts are usually for more casual, throw-away messaging. A phone call indicates a higher level of importance. It lets her know you want to talk to her and you want to hear what she has to say. 😉
Once you get her on the phone, invite her out on a date — and leave out any apologizing or mention of her possible hook up. The mention of these things won’t take the phone call in a good direction and they’re fodder for miscommunication. You want to keep things positive and upbeat, so keep the conversation simple and keep the focus clear by letting her know you’re so glad to talk to her and you’d really like to get to know her better. Invite her to do something special — whether it’s a nice dinner, or an interesting concert or picnic at the beach or after a hike. Whatever the date is, make it clear to her that you’re inviting her on a date. Not to hang out or to chill, but on a real date because you really like her and she’s important to you. This date invitation leaves little room for miscommunication or those “does he like me”/”does she like me” wonders that texting and hanging out invites seem to foster. If she says yes to your invitation, she likes you. If you ask for a date, she can assume you like her, too. Don’t fear rejection. It doesn’t sound like you’ll get it, plus, if, on the off chance you do, you’ve wasted very little time and and you can move on. But I think she’ll say yes. 🙂
