You can say: "I enjoyed our talk at..." Or, you can send a quick message or link about a topic you talked about in person. Keep the first few short.

This one is pretty straight forward. Offer your name first, like "Hi, I'm Brian." Sometimes the name will come right back at you without even asking for it!

If someone in your circle has it, you can text the person and ask if it would be okay to text sometime. Otherwise, just ask if it would be ok to stay in touch and give your number, or ask for theirs.

Once you decide that you would like to talk to her again, let her know you'd like to stay in touch by text--that is the least intrusive way to ask. If she makes an excuse, drop it, and say you understand. If she responds favorably, have her enter her name and number into your phone, or offer to give her your number so she has the control to text or call, or not.

It is always at least a little scary to ask someone for their number or figure out how to do it. Try to stay with the thoughts about why you like her and why you want to get to know her better. That might just give you the confidence to move ahead and contact her.

You might just need to accept that her answer is "no." Accept it and move on.
