normal person Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Why? and how? can I over come a fear of asking a woman for her number?. How old are you? Asking to exchange numbers is awkward, I think. Giving your number is sort of unwarranted unless she's asking you for it. Most women like to be pursued, so ask for her number when appropriate. That means if she's being clearly receptive to you, ex: good body language, engaging you in conversation, etc. It should be clear to you that she's interested, then getting her number won't be any problem. At a high moment in the interaction, where she's laughing or touching you or something like that, you can just say, with confidence, ease, and a smile: "Why don't you give me your number?" I've always preferred phrasing it like this. Saying "can I have your number?" subconsciously puts her in power, she has something you want and that's a subtle, verbal reminder of that. When you say "why don't you give me your number?" then you're more empowered, it's almost like you're giving her permission to give it to you. When she gives it to you, just text her your name and where you met. "Mike - XYZ Bar." If you don't go home with her that night, text her sometime a day or two after with a little joke and see if she wants go out again. There you go. It's all a matter of how it goes down. If you have a girl who insists that you program her number in your phone, even so much as asking to see your phone so she can do it for you, you are set. If she just accepts your number, don't expect a call. Yeah, this. If she takes your phone and texts her number with it, that's the optimal scenario. Exchanging numbers is best. In the modern age, texting or calling is exchanging though. I would advise against literally asking to exchange, it sounds forced and hackneyed.
