I gave her my number. Did I do the right thing?

No. I was just curious as to why she didn't. After a few days I thought forget it and I haven't done anything obsessive lol. It's funny you think that.
I was genuinely trying to understand what the best course of action would be as I haven't really been in these situations before..

theres two?

For the moment just be friends with the new one dont lead her on or be flirty cause you like the first one more and try talking to her if she isnt interested move on. Try and find an excuse to go to her department.

How you ask for her number? You don't need to ask for her number. You ask her out face for face. Surely that is the ulterior motive. I mean it doesn't make any sense trying to initiate whatsapp convos when you barely know the girl. Best way to get to know someone is face to face.

Edit: I'm confused now. Which girl are you on about here?

Well given your previous track record I wouldn't be so sure you've miraculously changed overnight. The best course of action when you are chasing a girl is to take initiative and use common sense rather than overthinking/strategising it.

Well I have lol. Not overnight, it's been almost a month now where I am doing much better. Look, I haven't even posted about the other girl. We still talk but I have accepted things for what they are and am actively looking around at other girls. I don't even have time to message her lol, and she was clearly upset and surprised by that lol.

Like I said, I am not expert at girls. This is all new for me. I was maybe overthinking it a little because I gave my number and didn't hear from her. Or even a message from her saying hey here's my number too or something. Then when I saw her, she said hi and smiled. And I just wanted to know what was going on, was she just not interested or did she just not have any reason to message me? I just didn't want to say ok forget it, in case I misread the situation, do you understand? Am just looking for some clarification..and I shall get that when I talk to her. But for now, I am not too bothered by it.

Followed your threads for a while. Good luck ol boy. Glad to see you moving on.

Well yes diverting your attention away from the course girl may okay for the moment but it may be a short term fix cos she's still in your life and remains a ticking time bomb. No doubt if you are unsuccessful with these 2 new girls you'll most likely end up getting drawn back to her again. I commend you for making some effort with other girls though.

Like I said before just apply some common sense and don't try to interpret every single little action. Taking your own initiative and making mistakes is a better use of time than asking people on TSR for advice.

True, but it's a slow process. It takes time. True, when uni finishes she will move on with her life and so will I. I hope not, because even before I met these 2 girls, for the last 2-3 weeks I have been fine. It's not easy, but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.
Yeah, and if things don't work out with these girls, I will just move on very quickly. I am very careful now and won't get attached or anything like that.

And yeah I will, just a little unsure sometimes due to lack of experience. Yeah I am only asking for advice which I actually need now, none of that self pitying stuff which I have been guilty of in the past. Just a bit cautious with the new girl right now, but let's see how it goes.

The good thing irrespective of what happens is that you have shown some interest in other girls which is progress from the oneitis. But yeah stay cautious and keep expectations at level ground for now.

No. Come on now, give me a break. Honestly I got over it in 2 days. I am not bothered now. Although I do want to talk to her and see what's what. I am thinking of the new girl now lol and how to get her number. I have a feeling the way she looks at me and she might have a thing for me. I could be wrong though..

I'm happy enough to give you a break, which is why the first comment I put was me wishing you luck. But you can't be surprised that I, as well as a lot of other people, am still a little sceptical after the utter trainwreck the other one turned out to be. There's no harm in you talking to this girl, getting friendly with her, and so on, but you just need to know limits, i.e. if you are wrong about how she feels, and she makes that obvious, just back right off, so there aren't any repeats of before.

Get her fb instead

I did find the 1st girl's fb (just out of curiosity) but don't want to add her or anything right now as I don't want to seem too pushy or anything. I will have to talk to her first then see what's what.

As for the 2nd girl, I didn't search for her on facebook. No need to. I will see her tomorrow I think, and I definitely want to get her number and take it from there.

Get her number and then what? Even supposing you ask for her number and she gives it to you, that's going to sound incredibly random/ambiguous without context.

Here's what you should do instead. Ask straight up if she would like to go out with you somewhere one evening. That way if she says yes, firstly you have a potential dating opportunity and secondly you exchange numbers in the process. Plus it's a sure fire way to gage interest cos it's an open ended invite and if she makes an excuse, you know where you stand.

Problem solved.

Glad to hear you're moving on man, just don't get obsessive about this one. Or any of your actions or approach methods.

Good luck.
