I met a girl at the supermarket. We talked for a couple minutes and I got her number. We made tentative plans to meet early this week. Should I text her my last name, so that she "knows" that I am a real person in the meanwhile, to convince her that I am a "real person" and not a creep?

Why?

 

What's the point?

I don't think I get it either.

Lots of girls these days feel the need to google search/e-stalk a new guy they might start dating. They think this will weed out any potential cheaters/d-bags/losers. Not sure how well this works when the dudes name is John Smith.

Hmm. I can't think of a time I went on a first date with a guy who I didn't know his last name, and he mine. :confused:

Yes giuliano, that is precisely what I was thinking. We talked for like 3 minutes and I got her number with plans to meet up on Monday. She might very well get "second thoughts" between now and then. I know that if I don't do something between now and then, there is no way she will show.

If she suspects that you're a creep, then why did she give you her number and agree to meet early this week?

 

I would move on and find someone else if I were you.

Yeah. How should I let her know?

If it really is of that much concern to you then you could just text her a message later on tying up the time/place you are going to meet up and when you do just sign your full name..done

Hmm. Good question. I usually hear it on their phone VM greeting, or see it in an email. The last guy showed me his ID when I teased him about his age...it was just happenstance. I think it almost always is, although I do recall at least once just flat out asking for it. :laugh:

 

Maybe if when you call her, you can identify yourself with your full name? "Hi, this is Ryan Reynolds, we met at Ralph's..."

 

? Just an idea.

So what? She's obviously insecure.

Some people just know, man. They just know.

 

Jerk, don't worry about it. Don't text her your last name, that would probably be weird - unless she's asked you for it.

How can you tell she is obviously insecure.. he didn't post anything about her other than she gave him her number..

"Hi, this is Ryan Reynolds, we met at Ralph's..."

 

That would probably be the best spoken line of all-time.

I like this idea. I guess that for me, I USUALLY know the guy's full name but not always - if we met on the street or something. It's usually something that comes up at some point via email or some such. Being given that information so... directly, I guess, I find that odd. I don't google my dates, though, either.

 

I know that if I don't do something between now and then, there is no way she will show.

 

You need to know that even if you do something, she still might not show.

 

Did she respond to your text yet?

Thanks smitten. To answer your question, no.

OK, so my next move is to text her Sunday AM to confirm plans for Monday evening.

 

Or should I try calling Sunday am instead?

 

(We basically set the time and place when we talked so it's more to confirm. I got her number tonight, and as you know, Monday evening is 4 days away from now...)
