I got her to agree on going with me tomorrow at sunrise to take pictures as we both have cameras. I know her pretty well and I have a feeling she might like me (she lean on me occasionally when we spend time together) and in general I feel fairly comfortable spending time with her. And she plays Cello so there's a possibility of jamming (^_^). I dunno how things will turn out and I think I should just try to have fun and don't bear too much objective in mind (a.k.a don't think about trying to win her or anything) and just try to enjoy some good free time relaxing. I'm hoping to go up the hills toward Berkeley rose garden as it has some pretty good views from there, and the hillside is always nice. Well in any case, wish me luck okay?

If I can give you one bit of advice, the number 1 thing girls look for in a conversation is direction. You two can be on a laughing high, or she can relate to everything you say on a deep level but if you don't lead and capitalize on it then it will all be for naught. If everything is going well, and you feel that you're at a highpoint in your conversation with her then foreshadow an activity together. This makes it so that it's solely about you and her, nobody else in the world . Just think about your weekly activities (i.e. Do you go out for sushi, go shopping, go to the mall, know a secluded place to hike?), then just say something like: "You know what would be awesome? ...... If WE x or y." or "Tell me something... What would happen if WE "a or b?", or even, "You know something? ... We're gonna be the kind of couple who x."
So say, after you share something about yourself, "Sushi's the best thing ever, don't you think?" and she goes "Oh yeah!! It's my favourite, blah blah blah" you lead/direct the flow of the conversation to center around you two: "You know what would be awesome? If we went to this amazing place called Sushi King, their sushemi just melts in your mouth, and we're gonna feel soooo satisfied afterwards."
If you want nice photo areas or a place to impress the girl, take her up to "the wall" in the berkeley hills. It's along grizzly peak road to the east of the golf course split--only accessible by car though. Tilden has a lot of nice areas as well if you like the misty forest look. Also try the Berkeley Marina (especially during the Berkeley kite festival).
