Get the Ball Rolling!

There is a girl at volleyball whom I like a lot. We are talking and laughing together, but I have to get the ball rolling. What may I do?

Today, when I saw her, I went up to greet her and asked "What up? I did not see you last week!" I found it to be a nice gesture, but I know that afterward I fumbled a few times: One, I was not able to lock eye contact with her during the whole time. Two, I jumped the gun when I leaned in to brush my arm against hers and she pulled away. Three, I could not wisk her away from her friends because I was too self-conscious to make a move in front of people. Four, I was not able to move the conversation into the more intimate, personal topics.

Right now, the problem is that since she is going to Japan, I will not see her for three weeks. None the less, I am not giving up. This girl is mine and I am not going to let this one slip away!

Right, to show genuine interest is to ask her questions and let her talk about herself. But, like I said, I do not know how to move the conversation into the more personal topics .... Although there is no magic potion, I really hate to think that there is nothing I can do.
