Okay, here is probably the only serious piece of advice that I will give on a forum that does not directly have to do with a computer the MacNN Lounge.
To get your bird, keep the following in mind:
Be funny. Be ridiculously funny. And be confident, if not arrogant.
If you have a flaw, and she points it out, act unaffected by it.
If she makes fun at you for doing something, do it again, and when she laughs at you for doing it, tell her it isn't funny.
Don't put the p*ssy on a pedestal. If she only wants to do something in a few days because she is busy, be okay with that. If she smses you, don't respond for a few hours. Don't return her calls until she calls back again. Don't accept her friend request on myface for a couple days.
Don't show too much emotion, and if she asks if you are single, say yes without saying yes.
Do not talk about your computer.
Act rich. Really rich.
When you get lucky enough to get to that point where you let her touch it, or close too it, hesitate. Make her want you.
Out of my group of friends I am not the best looking dude, but I have had by far the most women. And I don't "settle" either. You can get any women you want by acting the right way, and saying the right things. I usually use the above, unless something is obviously not working. If the goal is sex, I have done all I can for you. If the goal is a relationship, I have no f*cking clue.
And remember, all women are inherently evil and as soon as you start to care, you are dead meat. Or worse... married.

I mean. He gives some dudes some clues as to how to communicate with people on an interpersonal level and achieve some level of success. It goes beyond just landing some tail, I'm sure these people will freeze up in a business meeting or job interview too.

I don't see how "negs" and "peacocking" are necessary to communicate with people on an interpersonal level. There are lots of people who teach interpersonal skills and self-confidence. What Mystery brings to the table is mind games and atrocious fashion sense.

There is a certain level of douche-ness to his diatribes, but I don't think his shtick is entirely terrible.

Crap, it's going to be awhile because I can strike up that long a conversation with her

Ultimately I want in a relationship, but I'm not in any rush to get there. I take things one step at a time. Right now I'm not worried about sex or a relationship, I just want to go on a date with her and possibly kiss her afterwards if the chemistry is sustained.

No no no no no no no no no. We've been through this time and time again.
Do not get in the "friend zone" unless you want to stay in the friend zone. And don't "ask for her number" either - not until you have a positive hit anyway.
Here's your next words to this girl:
"Hi"
Girl: "Hi"
"I'm taking you out on Friday night, so what time do you want me to pick you up?"
Then get her number.
This approach always works unless (1) she's already spoken for, (2) you look like John Merrick or (3) you haven't had a bath for a week.

Yeah, tell her you bought tickets for a local show, tell her you have to take her for her own safety. Mention that mutant gophers will eat her if she doesn't go out with you that night.
Don't accept "no".

I like the direct and confident delivery but what about if she already has plans on Friday?

You'll find out when you ask her. Seriously, dude, this ain't Calculus. Get in there and do it already!

Yes!
And if she has plans, maybe say something like, "Alright, that's cool. Tell you what, I'll give you my number and you can give me a call or text me sometime if you want to (go out to dinner, go get drinks, party together, go out to the bars, have an orgy, etc..."). And hopefully at this point she'll offer her number to you. If she doesn't, I don't necessarily advise asking her for her number. That's giving her an opportunity to say no to you and sets the tone from there on out. You'll just have to read her reaction and body language at that point and make the decision yourself if it makes sense to ask her for her number or not.

Also, try following the three second rule. Either approach her right away when the thought enters your head (within three seconds), or don't do it at all. You'll just end up getting more nervous and awkward and most likely end up talking yourself out of it completely.

You overthink things. If she has plans Friday, she has plans Friday. I assume you're capable of spontaneous conversation if you plan for the date not to be an absolute hell, so put that skill to use.

That is too nice. "Allright thats cool" is like saying "It is fine, I was going to f*ck around on this Mac forum anyway"
To answer this I quote myself:

Personally, I would spend as much time as you can there talking to her. At the end of it, say "I will see you around" because, you are.
And then avoid the canteen for a couple days. But then, on day 3, go there and talk to her again. Don't ask for her number. Tell her what you are doing this coming week or weekend. Ask her what her plans are. Do it casually, and, if there is a gap. BOOM you go for it. The number will come naturally. Give her your business card or something.
And then do not call her, until the night you are seeing her. Arrive 15 minutes late, and then call her to find out where she parked, or which entrance she used etc, and tell her you had something come up, but you are coming.
The rest is up to you. Oh ya, and watch the movie Swingers until you can quote every line that T says perfectly.

Yes, get advice from a bunch of guys that do not know much about women.
When talking to a girl do not act like you could not give a damn about her.
The new James Bond movie is coming out this weekend, so invite her to a diner and a movie.
Movies are great because if you or her are boring at least time will not seem to be so long.
Bring her flowers, not a big bouquet but one rose (color rose), then open the door for her, smile often and really listen to what she has to say.

Bond !?!?, Bond is the perfect example of a "kidult"… with all those cars, ladies and toys any scatterbrain would ever dream to own. I understand you didn't imply it has to be the new Bond movie but well, I despise Bond and couldn't resist.

Movies are a great thing to do on a date after you've been dating for like a year and have exhausted a good amount of conversation and are up to talking about weather and work conflicts. Before that and it's a bummer cause you're sitting in a dark room not talking to or facing someone you should be getting to know.

Who cares if Bond is a "kidult" (whatever the hell that is)? The Godfather is a showcase of heinous crime, but it's still a very enjoyable movie. Lots of people enjoy Bond as well.
But still, what everybody else said about a movie date. Don't do it.

Do this if you want her to feel like you're coming on too strong or you want a nice new female friend. I mean honestly, what girl is really going to be stoked about going out and being completely alone with somewhat of a stranger? And besides, you can't do much talking at the movies.
You don't need to act like you couldn't give a damn about her, but also don't be so accommodating that you appear needy and desperate. Odds are, if she's attractive at all, she's had several guys try the movie and diner tactic...and I'm guessing it didn't work out too well for them. Be different, she'll like it.

My few words of advice:
- don't do all the work... people like the chase
- be a little forward...
- ask her to dinner, not on a date
- don't be too available, ever
- be funny, but also be serious. Everyone loves a clown, but few clowns get any action
- be yourself and accept that the person you're on a date with may not be the one
- if she doesn't seem like the one, move on (people don't really change much after they turn 18)
- If you want it to be serious, be honest. If you are looking for a fling, lie like crazy!
- Always put a thing on your thing
OK, I'm done...

Before, I wouldn't flirt with any girls at my college because I thought they were all students, but it just so happens our cafeteria is outsourced, so she isn't a student, she even told me so! I don't know her name yet though. I've probably only had maybe 3-4 snippets of conversation with her.
When should I ask what her name is? When and how should I ask for a number, or should I just ask her out?
Any progress on this? I know we kinda bombarded the thread with a lot of different suggestions. Hopefully you don't over think it...

hahahahahahaa good one
if we all acted like this we'd all die single virgins. lolollol
alright here's how it really works, youre on to something with the smiling. All you need is a big jaw, thats what gives a guy a nice smile. So when a women says she likes guys with nice smile shes really reverting to a more primal instinct for a guy with a big jaw testosterone induced jaw bone.
So when you here women say they want all these personality traits in a guy... As soon as they see the big jawed guy smiling at them, their IQ drops 80 points and they forget all that stuff.
oh and for the op if you cant meet a girls shallow expectation for the jaw dont do anything yet...you're going to have use some real personality tricks here...do everything calverson said. of course u have to be natural at it...if u do have a big jaw you can say anything to her, it dont matter in the slightest.

Taking girls to movies on a first date is a great form of contraception that everybody can enjoy.
