I was at work, outside my office building today, drinking a soda I got from the vending machine at the tables. Then I saw an attractive young Indian woman walk towards the basketball court near me. I watched her pick up the basketball and shoot hoops. I kept thinking about how surreal it was that she voluntarily was shooting basketball hoops even though I was relatively close by - typically young women to everything in their power to avoid being even in my remote vicinity. At one point the ball rolled towards me and she asked me if I wanted to shoot hoops with her. She was acting extremely friendly the entire time, and overly nice and cheerful, smiling. She mentioned she is a PhD student in material science and I told her I work on software. We talked and shot hoops for quite a while. I didn't want her to leave and never see her again, so I asked her if there were any opportunities for us to collaborate. She said she wasn't sure. She mentioned she was learning Python so I told her ask me if she needed any python help. I told her she could look up my name in the org chart and email me. After we went our own ways, I found her name in the org chart and sent her an email, just so she had my email, and she replied thanking me.
She seemed really nice, was very attractive, probably had top 1% IQ given her educational background. Someone like her would really be ideal. I am starting to wonder if I might have made a mistake already. Perhaps I should have been more bold and asked her to hang out this weekend, and asked for her phone number. But it feels really unnatural to switch gears like this, and act so certain that this woman would want to hang out with me that I would take the risk to ask her, when the feedback all other women give me is they despise me and think I am a creep. Even when she asked me to shoot hoops with her, as a complete stranger.
Did I do anything massively wrong?
