I recall a time where I used to ask women for their phone #, back when the internet wasn't as popular or was just gaining strides.

 

For those who thinking asking for an phone # is better than some sort of online contact....well, I see you're point, but if a woman isn't intersted in you if you asked them for their # face to face (after conversing with them at a party or college class or whatever)

 

They'll give it to you on a piece of paper, but when you call her, their solution is to never return your call if they're not interested. Women are less likely to tell you they're not interested to your face, give your their phone number and are already thinking "Okay, if he calls me, I'll just screen my calls and not return his."

 

Ever come across that gentlemen?

It seems you are more likely to get a correct email address than a phone number. Sometimes, it may be better to get an email. Its less personal, however the woman knows you wont drunk dial her at 2am.

I've gotten pretty good at screening whether she'll respond to my efforts. I think thats the real question. If I meet her at a bar, I'm pretty sure the digits will be wrong.

Yeah, granted if the digits are even right. lol. I've overheard how women would purposely give incorrect phone #'s to women when asked. It would be # to the Pizza biz or something. lol And they'd laugh about it.

Don't get a woman's email. Why is her phone number so precious she won't give it to you but email is okay? I've heard from many women who say they give out email instead of phone number when they aren't interested in a guy and just want to let him down passive-aggressively.

I never asked for a woman's email address unless I want to know her in a professional capacity. Besides email is likely to get written down wrong too often. Isn't asking for FB profile like a email nowadays? I stick with the phone number and make sure to call her so she receive your number.

You can find out her address with reverse lookup if you get her phone number.

Funny, one time , at a holiday party, I asked a woman for her #, and she goes, "Can I just give you my email, I find it safter that way"

 

How backwards we've become. lol

Many many many many times.

 

This is why I say email or phone number...you call, leave a message, and then it's on her. I don't care how crappy the reception is, it's 1 in a billion that she will not see your call or voicemail. So if she claims "I never got your call or voicemail", it's pretty clear she's lying.

 

Cell phone or email, just leave ONE message and let it be. She doesn't reply...then she's not into you. Don't delude yourself thinking she might have "missed it" or even the email was "lost" among other emails.

 

If she's really into you, then she's going to make sure you have the easiest of times reaching her. If she's making it difficult, then she's not into you. Even the most paranoid of women will make it easy if she's into you.

 

Most of the time women give out some number or email mainly because it's easier than saying "no thanks" and then dealing with the drama of "little boys".
