Hey all!
TLDR; question: How do you guys start your texting with girls when you got the number on the premise of getting coffee or a bite to eat? My old go-to is basically dead nowadays:
Me: Nice meeting you ___! Let me know when you're free -_me_
Her (quickly): Nice meeting you too ___! Yes ! Have a great day!
No idea if she's a mom or not, but she's older. I've seen her before, but it's been a while. She has a rocking body, though, with at least double D, a thinner frame, but still a nice butt and toned from working out. She was wearing a very tight deep blue sweater that exhibited her goods nicely. Saw her in the gym and made eye contact with her earlier while she was using a bench by mine (I was first), and was going to approach sooner, but seemed she was on the phone through her headphones. Skip to the end of my workout and I'm shooting the breeze with a buddy and he's wrapping up too. I decide to just go for it, as she's nearby in a quieter section of the gym. She's grabbing a different grip and walking back to her spot (~7 yards), and I came over:
Me: *Makes eye contact when nearby*
Her: *takes a couple steps back to her spot, then realizes I'm not just walking by*
Me: That blue looks fantastic on you.
Her: What? *pulls off her headphones*
Me: That blue. looks fantastic on you.
Her: Ohh! Thank you. *Starts shifting fully back to her spot*
Me: What's your name? *I'm trying to not walk over to her too much, but did a bit to close the gap*
Her: _x_
Me: I'm _y_ (we're still too far to shake hands, without jumping to her)
Her: Ah, nice to meet you (she's pretty smiley at this point)
Me: How often are you in here?
Me: Oh wow, with those nails? (she had pretty long nails)
Her: *laughs* Yeah, no problem with them, I got used to it. I usually have *this* much length. (I notice an accent)
Me: Oh, so crazy girl nails
Her: *big laugh*
Me: Where are you from?
Her: From _z_ Mexico!
Me: Oh cool, I was born in _z_...county California haha. Isn't it more fun there?
Her: Yessss!
Her: I come 5 times a week.
Me: Huh?
Her: To the gym.
Me: Oh! Thought you meant from _z_ haha. How long have you been here?
Her: 12 years, I was in Dallas first, but I bought a house out here
Me: But why leave Mexico?
Her: I just kept going back and forth, and I could get a house here.
(somehow California came up)
Her: Yeah, California is just too expensive
Me: Yeah, I work with numbers, so I crunched the cost and pay of there versus here, and you come out way ahead here.
(Somehow talk about where I grew up and how she has aunts there and has been there)
Her: Doesn't that place have nice olives and grapes?
Me: Well...the nice parts *grin*
Her: *laughs a bunch*
Me: *Looks at wall clock* Hey' I have to get going...
Her: Oh okay
Me: How would you like to grab coffee or something sometime?
Her: Sure! Later
Me: Cool, let me grab your number
(number getting, didn't drop my phone this time lol)
Me: How do you spell your name? 1 n or 2?
Her: 2, it's short for ___
Me: Oh, that's a pretty name
Her: *laughs* thank you! It's just people compare it with [horror character]
Me: Ahh, makes sense. *Starts walking behind her, toward the exit* You aren't as scary as her, are you? *held her arm solidly as I passed and said the last part*
Her: *Laughs and looks at me as I go*
Texting 1 hour later:
Me: Nice meeting you ___! Let me know when you're free -_me_
Her (quickly): Nice meeting you too ___! Yes ! Have a great day!
Not totally sure what to make of the texting, seems quite positive, but I feel like I put myself into a corner waiting for her. Overall, enjoyed the interaction, my energy was much more solid and I was better about not volunteering info (did some, but much less), being more intriguing (I work with numbers). Somewhere in there I tried figuring out if she's single and she did respond she got her home herself (not the smoothest thing, but oh well). The arm touch at the end was very solid (sounds like something a virgin would say lol), firmly, but warmly grasped her upper arm for a moment as I talked and walked. I would like to think that added a few points into my court, especially with no handshake.
Let me know what you all think! Especially thoughts for the texting situation if she doesn't come back on her own. Fingers crossed I can actually get a date out of the gym lol.
Thanks all!

She was responding immediately and pretty lively. Hopefully the random place I chose is actually good lol. Noticed afterwards I missed the diet tease, but she seems excited enough it's probably not hurting to miss a tease. Thanks a bunch for the dialogue! Need to be more like that, as texting has been the graveyard of all my contacts lately.
