Hahaha San Francisco mate. Years of practice and failing to get to where I am today.

Just remember- keep it simple- state your feelings and call out obvious awkward things to help you move past them.

Your friend means well and is probably just trying to help joke it off? But yeah absolutely terrible advice.

And if she says no or doesn’t go on a walk- that’s ok too, just congratulate yourself on putting yourself out there.

Next time you go up and say “hey! Glad I saw you again, I walked away last time and realized I hadn’t asked for your number. Want to go for a walk and get to know each other better?”

And then make sure to get her number :)
