We don't have museums or art galleries in town (and if we do, I won't enjoy them [and neither would anybody with me]).

Ok, first of all.
Whether you meet women regularly or not will be less important than doing the right thing when you do meet them. So now that you've managed to get her name and phone number, try to be friendly with her so you're more comfortable. Being "just" friends is not a bad thing in that sense. Don't expect it to necessarily go anywhere and don't be disappointed if it doesn't. Your goal is not to end up with the love of your life (although it's ok if that happens anyway), your goal is to actually learn how to talk to a girl.
I know I said "first of all", but that's about it, really.

At this stage, I don't think there's anything you can suggest that doesn't seem like a date. Personally, I'd just go for coffee or something like that (after work or during a break?): it's informal, you can both easily get out if/when you want to, you can talk and get to know eachother (not so easy at the cinema) and you can figure out what you'd both like to do for a followup, if anything. If there's a coffee place you've been meaning to try, say that that's where you'd like to go.

To hang with her in a group setting there has to be a group. I don't have a group, and I'm the one that has her number. I can't very well call her up to suggest we do something with her friends.

I don't know how to chat somebody up. I have no idea what you're supposed to talk about. I can't do small talk. I have absolutely no idea how people do. My brain just becomes a puddle of goo.

What I need is a socialization coach. I just can't find any in the yellow pages.

I'm sure there's an FAQ online.

This goes double when talking to a girl.

dude is she want to be friends be friends with her. just make sure jump on her girl firends. dont try for her if she said she has a boy friend.

Are you saying that if a girl has a boyfriend she should refrain from making any other male friends? Jealousy stinks.

We have both actually (in fact we have a couple museums). The Art Gallery is usually pretty lame. Most of the time the exhibits all feature local talent (which we don't have much of apparently, because the art sucks). The only time I've ever enjoy our Art Gallery is when there is a famous out of town exhibit showing.

I can't really speak for the Museum seeing I haven't been there since I was a kid. It was pretty neat back then though.

You should ask her (and her boyfriend I guess) to accompany my wife and I to the Bushplane Museum. That might give you an in to hang with out in a pseudo crowd.

If you know what time she finishes, e.g. 4pm, next time you're in getting the sandwich you probably don't need, go about that time, chat about the weather and stuff and tell her you're finished work/school/whatever early and have nothing to do and does she want to go for a quick coffee.

It's not a date (it'll be cheap for you) and it'll only last 30 minutes. I'm sure we'll all club together and write a script for you that'll make you look intelligent, interesting, funny, yet edgy with a hint of mystery.

That will be unavoidable regardless.

Are there any other kind?

She gets off at 7pm. Seems a bit late to meet for coffee (the beverage).

Now you might be on to something.

Nah. "I've had a hectic day today, no breaks at all and this is my lunch and dinner combined. I could do with a sit down and a coffee....."

That's an idea. If there's anyone else at a.cc living close to you get them to stalk her visibly to the point of terror then bamccaig happens to be in the neighbourhood, scares him away and wins the girl. Hurrah.
