Thanks Dale. Yeah, as you say I've had quite a few good interactions but just not tried to escalate to any extent. I think I have got some anxiety lurking in my head about touching. It does seem easier to do it straight away, like when I took that girls hand the other week as I opened. It was then easy and natural to do stuff like high fiving, which we did a few times. She was comfortable with me. But then instead of getting in closer and keeping the touching going I bailed out.

It's definitely the thing that's blocking me now (blocking myself). I'll try what you said and see how it goes. And grabbing the number before they leave is also something I should get in the habit of doing.
