I had an eye exam at glasses store yesterday and my mom wanted to come for ride since she needed to run errands in same shopping center. I let her shop while I went to my appointment and got fitted for glasses. As I was trying on different pairs, one of the girls working there offered to help. Solid 9.5 blonde. We made small talk and flirted subtly. She was really friendly and smiley throughout interaction so I had feeling she was at least somewhat into me. Ended up picking pair she recommended and I was told glasses would be ready to pick up later that day. As I was finilazing purchase with the girl, my mom walks in to see how the glasses fit etc... I felt it would be awk to ask girl out in front of my mom so I decided I’d try when I came back later that day. Move forward a few hours, I go back to store to pick up glasses. When I saw girl was free, thanked her for helping me, said I thought she was cute and asked if she’d want to grab drinks sometime. She seemed surprised and stalled for a sec but smiled and said sure. Ended up putting my number in her phone which I now realized was dumb move on my part. She still hasn’t reached out. Found her IG. Not sure if I should dm her or just drop it
UPDATE: just realized they never added anti-glare to the lenses so I’ll likely have to go back so they can fix. During our convo she said she works full time and is always there so there’s a high chance I’ll be seeing her when I go back. Not sure if I should re-initiate potential hanging out again if she never texted

Nah, don’t DM her. Give it some time most likely that she’s really busy. I’m sure she’ll respond at some point, meanwhile focus on yourself homie.

I agree. All you can do at this point is wait and be patient. Maybe if you go for another appointment and she’s there you can try again but definitely don’t dm her. And don’t go in just to talk to her

Thanks man I agree. Looks like I’ll need to go back soon since I’m realizing they never added anti-glare to my lenses. Still tryna decide if I should re-initiate potential hanging out again when I see her if she never texted

In situations like that, it can be a bit hard to tell if the girl is actually into you. Part of their job is flirting with customers so that you like them and feel obligated to buy there. You'd have to be fairly advanced to be able to pick up on the nuance between the act & her actually being into you. And, as you said putting your number in a chicks phone is a big no-go. Even if she is into you, not a lot of chicks will take the initiative.
That being said, you have absolutely nothing to lose by flirting with her and persisting when you go & pick up your glasses. So you might as well go for it.

What would you suggest saying to re-initiate meet up and ask for her number this time in a non needy way?

You're in a tricky spot right now. I would recommend that after you chat her up & get a good back and forth going you add her on Instagram. This way you skip the awkwardness in case she says "Oh I'll text you" Then you can message her on Instagram. & Then at some point move it over to text.
