When To Ask For A Girls Number

December 27, 2010 By: Bill Preston Category: When To Ask For A Girls Phone Number

You met a girl you like and want to ask for her phone number. Yet, you don’t know how soon is too soon. It is a question that pops up in many minds. And as usual, there is no written manual or specified rules to abide by.

You can get her number after a 2-minutes talk in the club, or you can go around her for days before you gather all the courage to approach her and ask for a number.

You should clearly understand what you want and what your intentions are. Do you want to get a girl’s phone number just for the sake of having the number, or do you actually plan to use this number because you like her and want to text the girl?

The first thing you should remember when asking for a girl’s phone number is don’t push it. You obviously can get a number after a few minutes conversation though there is no guarantee it is not a fake number. But what’s the point of the phone number if you don’t really know a girl. Make sure this is a girl whose number you would really like to use. It will take you 20-30 minutes at least to find out if you connect on some levels.

Getting phone numbers isn’t a competition. Like with everything in life it is not about quantity but about quality. You sure don’t want any fake numbers or the numbers that won’t respond. Getting a number too soon increases the chances that the girl won’t recognize you the next day when you call.

Before asking for a phone number look out for signs. Try to understand if she is interested. Direct eye-contact or a smile can be some of indicators here.

Don’t be afraid or don’t over-think the situation. Take your chances. The worse that can happen is her not giving you the number. But it is also an experience you should have. Be prepared to the situations like this.

When talking to a girl keep things simple. Be polite and friendly. Smile and be open. You don’t want to scare her away or think that you are a stalker. Girls are reluctant to give their phone numbers to strangers. Yet, they are ready to consider the possibility if she does not see you as a threat.

Of course, not always you have an opportunity to chat for 20 minutes with a girl. Sometimes you can meet interesting women at unexpected places such as supermarkets or gas stations. It won’t be possible to continue a conversation for very long given the circumstances. In this case you can ask for a number after a few minutes talk provided you see a potential.

All in all you should be prepared.

• Make sure you know what to say and how to say it.

• Don’t forget to ask her name.

• Most importantly don’t forget to introduce yourself.

• Be open and friendly.

• Be prepared to handle a “no”. Learn to turn this “no” (or any excuses that come with it) into a “yes”
