Is it weird to randomly ask a girl for her number?

[CleverName0]

I was always an average looking guy in High School. I was never really popular with girls. I had a really big nose and all of my other features were still undeveloped.

In the past few months, my face has been changing a lot. My jaw, chin, brow and cheekbones have become more defined. My nose doesn't look awkward like it used to. I finally got my braces out and my teeth aren't gnarly anymore. When I look in the mirror now, I barely recognize myself from photos from a year or 2 ago.

The thing I've noticed is that people treat me a lot differently than they used to, especially girls. They are a lot more friendly and flirty now. They're really nice to me. I'll catch girls who I would think are way out of my league staring at me and sometimes they'll smile or they'll look away quickly when I notice them. This is all kind of new to me and I'm not very good at talking to girls.

Today when I went to a coffee shop there was a really cute girl there who kept looking at me, and I was tempted to ask her out but thought it would be weird.

Would it be weird if I just randomly went up to a girl and asked for her number?

If she thinks you're cute, no. If she thinks you're ugly, yes.

it's only weird if you feel that it is. otherwise, quite normal. besides, your asking is NOT RANDOM. you've made eye contact and indicated, visually that you are interested or intrigued and she, you.

Go for it.

 

Asking for someone's number without even an attempt at holding a conversation is basically like saying "You. Me. Sexy time."

 

It won't always work, but if someone says yes, you know they are very interested.

Good looking or not, it is weird if there's no conversations involved. Some might give it to you but most will not as that's pretty creepy to go up to someone asking for their number. You gotta build a base and converse before randomly asking for a number.

Yes. At least have a conversation with her first.

 

For example, at the coffee-shop, you could go up to her and ask her what she has ordered since her drink looks delicious. Her answer will tell you whether she is interested in talking to you (a smile, a joke, a reply, something flirty...). If she does not reply or just curtly tells you the name of the drink and then turns away, she is not interested.

 

If she is interested, try to have a short conversation with her and then - if you feel like she is enjoying your company - you could ask her if she wants to get coffee with you some time (or some other suggestion). If she says yes, ask for her number. If she says no -or that she has a boyfriend - just smile and say 'no worries, see you around' and walk away.

When i was younger, i always asked girls for their number. Young bravado probably, some gave me their number, others didn`t. Go for it i say if your young.

It worked.. lol.

I randomly went up to a girl after making eye contact a few times and told her I thought she was cute then asked for her name and number... success. Tried it again with another girl and I got her number, too.

I didn't think it would be that easy...

How long after I get a number should I wait to text?

I worked with a young chap who was a collector of phone numbers. He basically considered it an ego booster to gather numbers and then brag to his friends. He never called the girls and considers it "funny" that any girl he randomly goes up and asks for their number is ever going to get a call from him. He is "THAT" arrogant. I asked him why he misleads the girls and his comment- "I never mislead them...they have a choice to hand over the number or not, I never tell them I'm going to call them, they "assume"" .

 

As a lady, I would caution handing over name or phone number with a stranger ....(no offense to the OP...just find it a security thing)
