I've heard from somewhere.. When you are talking to a girl, you should give her your number rather than take her number. This way you will know if she is interested in you if she does call. He goes as far to say that you should give them specific details to when to call after your conversation.. Such as "Hey call me tomorrow at 7, around that time I'll be the most free to talk".. So how many of y'all actually give out your numbers? Does it work better than getting their numbers?
I always got the number. Seems kind of weak when you give them your number. They usually don't call lol.
I tell them I don't take numbers and give them mine 9 times out of 10. They'll always <strike>call</strike> text. I'm a weird dude though.
I always exchanged both numbers but I wouldn't even ask if I didn't have a good feeling the woman was interested. The calling details approach is just to show you have things going on in your life and that you're not sitting by the phone to wait on her call. You should have gotten that point across earlier in the conversation anyway.
I would say that some girls might be shy and want the guy to take the lead on calling... but, these days, I don't know if there are too many of us left like that. Glad I'm not single these days...
I usually always give out my number and tell them to text me sometime. I don't even bother getting their number. 75% of the time they get back to me. It's much easier to see who is interested. The other 25% can go **** themselves.
Here in the Bay Area, girls often ask you to Facebook them or email them. Comg from NYC, I think it is weird but folks out here are skittish so when in Rome...
I am naturally manipulative so I don't need any of dat (sic). Take note: I am not a sociopath. Smiley faces for all
Giving your number is too passive...and the girl doesnt usually want to be the one that is making that first move after the initial encounter. It's better to take their number and it also shows more confidence, imo.
Brilliance. Cell phones exist now, right? Get or give number, place or receive call, say "let's talk soon", not that complicated.
Lol, good luck giving out your number to girls. Don't complain when they never call you and you never see them again.
Texting/BBM/iMessage has changed this a lot I'd say. I've been "experimenting" with this lately. The biggest thing was getting over the fear of asking for a number -- nowadays, especially with texting, a girl is almost sure to give out her number if you simply ask for it ("Hey let me get your number and we can get _____ sometime.") But I've also done the exchanging numbers (which is more "complicated"...it usually entails getting her number or giving yours, then immediately messaging the other so they have it). I've also literally traded phones, but that's definitely more awkward. I have also tried the give her my number, but to be perfectly honest there's environmental factors that have a greater effect: 1.) depends on what type of girl it is and 2.) I've found that girls are significantly more inclined to message/reach out if you share technology -- this used to be BBM. Now it's the iPhone (iMessage and silly apps like Snapchat). I've been without a smartphone for quite a while now and it actually worked to my advantage -- traded numbers with a girl who had an equally bad "dumbphone." On the same point, though, there have definitely been girls who interacted with me far less due to the fact that I didn't have an iPhone.
my goodness. virgins everywhere. the rule of thumb is if she says she'll call you, she probably won't. If she says call me, you better call her. numbers are just a byproduct of the process. think of the bigger picture, and for god sakes, please stop putting the poontang on a pedestal.
