So I work at Best Buy, and am apparently known as the cute new guy (the revelation of which to me made all the girls in this conversation turn an ungodly shade of red, lol). Because of this, I've had many of the girls hit on me while at work, not that I'm complaining. The hot redhead with a boyfriend has been rather frustrating though. She's a senior in high school with a razor sharp wit who keeps confusing the heck out of me by dropping hints that she's interested in something more between us, then immediately bringing up her boyfriend. She's a lot of fun, but that's getting old.

Anyways, back on topic. There's a cute brunette who works there (we'll call her Amber) and she's been eyeing me for the last two nights I've worked. Tonight, I asked her if she wanted to hang out tomorrow and got her number (it was SO smooth!). She said yes of course and told me to text her tomorrow afternoon or evening. My question now is whether I should invite her directly to my dorm to cook dinner and watch a movie or TV show. (I live in a suite style dorm with a kitchen). The thing making me a bit hesitant to suggest that is that we don't know each other very well yet, and I don't know if she would respond well to it. I was thinking about texting her tomorrow and saying something along the lines of "Hey, I'm about to cook some Crab Alfredo for dinner, want to help?" after contacting her tomorrow and warming up to the meet suggestion. What do you guys think? My text game isn't the best, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Nice.

Be careful with "flirts." They get their kicks by getting men riled up, and if she's got a razor-sharp wit it sounds like she's a pro. Fortunately, there's an easy way of handling flirts: start demanding investment out of her, and keep escalating the compliance and investment. You'll know real fast if she's actually interested or not... suddenly, it goes from carefree recreational flirting to put up or shut up time ;)

If you're not sure, just tell her to come over and hang out, and you've got some ideas about what you can do. Tell her you can cook dinner or go grab a drink or a bunch of other things; you guys will figure it out when she gets there.

Once she's there and you've hung out for a few moments, you'll be able to gauge if she's comfortable and settled in enough to have dinner right away, or if she's really uncomfortable and it'll be better to head out to a bar nearby first.

Just remembered you're not 21 yet. Okay, don't propose the bar thing, but something else cool - e.g., ice-skating, whatever. She'll probably opt for the dorm room, I'd imagine.

I've pretty much been either ignoring her, which makes her try harder, or I've been responding in kind, which is fun, but not particularly informative. I'll have to use your tip next time I see her. Oh btw, this is the chick that asked ME out over text during my second shift, which makes it even more confusing, lol.

Yeah, if she's not feeling it, I was thinking about going to see the Life of PI, as I've found movies to be excellent places for kino escalation and that movie is all about the spectacle, so there's not too much intricate storyline to miss.
