Remember that chick I met a couple months ago? Meet The Parents Edition!

thanks for clearing that up. now I know that whatever I say to you won't matter because you can just say it's not applicable to "real" relationships

Real as in genuine, mutual, serious to some extent. More than just a title.

Flirting is fun, and that's what your main focus should be Col, have fun.
Girls (especially pretty ones) get complimented/commented on/hit on by guys regularly, they can be desensitized to accepting any typical approach. If you want to get in you have to be different, don't force the relationship or come on too strong, just have a good time with her and focus on how happy it makes you and tell her that.
If you go in with a clear intent that you want to get with her -which can be okay- you will automatically be grouped together with all the other guys that are blatantly trying (and failing) to get with her, just hanging around as a happy friend will get you closer and also keep you out of that category of strongarm hookups.
A little flirting along the way helps, just don't push it too far or focus your comments on her appearance, she's probably heard it enough already from every other guy.

Thanks homie. The main problem I'm having is that she found me BECAUSE I thought she was cute, which kinda makes it harder to form a friendship. I'm just trying to get around that aspect some way without going too far into the "friend zone".

I seriously doubt this is going to turn out well for you if you need a 13 page topic full of advice on how to send a girl text messages lol

Truthfully speaking I don't think anyone here is qualified to give you advice on how to interact with a girl. They're all very different but all very much the same at the same time. Some will respond to you better than others, some are more complicated than others. It's basically up to you to figure her out by yourself. Confidence is key, as it is usually the difference between persistence and desperation, and girls can read that stuff like a book. If you're shaking and sweating and losing your mind because you can't figure out how to respond to a message, then you're doing it wrong. The worst thing you can do is preemptively put the pusillanimous individual on a pedestal.

I text girls actively. Just as friends, though. I've just needed this thread as a team of advisors to get my feet off the ground, then I'll be done. I don't plan on sticking around in here for long. Just how do I prevent putting her on a pedestal? I keep hearing conflicting things and that's one of the reasons I'm so God damn confused.

Don't over-glorify the idea of female attention, I don't really know how to explain it. Avoid giving her undue respect, because it will make it harder for you to not be nervous around her. If you can't just text her whatever you want to text her without thinking it over 15 times you're doing it wrong.

Point taken. Preciate it homie.
