So anyways I met this girl while I was working and she seemed like she was interested in me. Since I was working I didn't really didn't ask her any personal stuff to show my interest in her but I do want to have some contact with her. I know I can give her my email or phone number to her though a friend since I know I won't see her again for a while. I know both options are lame but I am wondering what option will be the least pathetic :)

 

I am leaning towards just giving her my email because it's more casual like our convo was. Also I know that giving a girl my number is lame because it shows that I didn't even have the guts to ask her for hers (but not asking while at work should be acceptable). Or is giving my email just as bad as giving my number for the same reasons?

 

Thanks in advance for the responses.

Don't friggin give her either. Why don't you work the guts to ask her for hers? If she isn't even going to give you a number then she's hardly going to be interested in you.

IDK about you but I'd rather keep my job than ask a girl for her #. I was in a situation where I couldn't ask her. Now I am in a situation where I won't see her again. If I knew I would see her I wouldn't be posting this question. I think that it is better to try and give her my # or email rather than not seeing her again. Maybe I'm wrong maybe I should just let it go but I know it doesn't hurt to try.

I think you would have the best shot at this if you asked your friend to set you two up somehow - invite a bunch of people over or out, including you two, something like that.

 

Otherwise, I don't see how it matters. Just give your friend both, and if she wants to contact you she'll do it using whichever method she's comfortable with.

 

And to answer your other question, yes, giving your email address is "just as lame" as giving your friend your phone number to give her. It's the exact same thing: you're giving your contact info to your friend to give to this girl; ergo you didn't have the stones to ask her or do it yourself or whatever exactly it was that your question was. Not judging, just using your words. It's the same principle, email OR phone number.

As another female, I'd like to say I agree with New Again's advice. :) LOL Aren't I oh-so-helpful?

I recently had a woman I met in my building ask me for my number so she could text me.

I asked her to give me hers & I would text her something so she had mine.

 

Considering I was caught off guard she had asked I thought I did pretty well.

Have your mutual friend shoot her an email saying that he ran into you, you asked about her, and would it be OK if he gives you her contact info.

 

Thats how its done. You ask for her number in whatever way you have access to her...and she either gives it or she doesnt.
