The girl at the square:
I saw her from a ways off and sat nearby. I eyed her for a while. She wasn't hot, but a bit cute. We both sat for a long while (5 or 10 minutes), and out of boredom I decided to approach her. I simply went to sit next to her and complimented her bag: I liked its color, it stood out, etc. Then I talked about what she was doing, who she was waiting for, etc. Her body language immediately signaled she was interested. I was sitting normally my torso pointing to the front and only my head turned slightly towards her, while her whole torso was pointed towards me.
We talked about her hobbies, her career at college, etc. She asked about me and I eventually told her I came from abroad and I was looking for a job (not really true, but that's what she understood so I let it slip). Conversation was ok, she hooked quickly so it made it easier. My speech was a bit slurred though, but she didn't seem to mind.
Suddenly it started raining hard. We ran to a nearby mall (kind of, malls here are different) and we kept talking. I did some kino while examining her scarf -it was knitted and looked cool.
I realized later, while talking with my friend, we could probably have spent the whole evening together. She was going to wait for her friends an hour, but she seemed more eager to keep hanging out with me. I could've probably taken her to grab a coffee and then make her change her plans. Instead I ejected saying I had to meet a friend (this wasn't true, I had just run out of conversation).
What happened later is that I never managed to meet her again. My icebreaker was:
Me: Hey Moni! Hope you didn't get soaked like me today. This is my number -Ergon
Her: Hey, what a shame you got soaked.
Her: I got home not too long ago.
Her: We stumbled upon some friends and the conversation got interesting.
…
I flirted a little and I asked her out. She agreed, but then cancelled because she had too much work that day. I think that the place I proposed to meet, near my home, which was very far for her, influenced her flaking that day. We arranged to meet another day, in a more central location, but for a legitimate reason she couldn't go (a highway collapsed).
Again we arranged to meet next week. A friend suggested that I greet her and wish her a good week in the meantime (he actually grabbed my phone sent a ping to her hahah). We ended up exchanging audio messages about how our week had been.
Later the day agreed, I asked her what time could work for her. She didn't answer. A week after she sent me an "Holaaa". I replied with: "?" " Hey". My friend told me the "?" was a bit rude. I think he was right. Since the beginning I came across as a bit unattainable and this last text was the straw that broke the camel's back. No more contact after that. Luckily after this approach I began staying put in each interaction.
