5 cool ways to ask a girl for her phone number
Several articles ago, I covered some great ways to request a woman’s phone number. Still having trouble asking?
If so, I have five great ways to get her phone number, but I’ll warn you …
If you haven’t used the latest ones yet, learning them won’t do you any good! You have to act, and when it comes down to it, the best time to start is right now. So let’s look at five ways you can ask for your number, starting today …
# 1 The direct approach
Okay, this is one that all men should wear at least once:
“Hey, I’m in a rush right now, I have to meet a friend … but I’ll kick myself later if I don’t ask for your number.”
Bam! Yes, just walk up to her and tell her that. Now I know this may not seem very strategic. But this is the fastest way to get over the awkwardness of asking for a girl’s number. Commit to doing this at least three times a week.
Trust me, the confidence that you will build will be worth the rejections … and you will be amazed at how many women will actually give it to you.
# 2 The “don’t ask” technique
This works especially well when you have a conversation with a woman you just met and you are both busy:
“Hey, I’m in a bit of a rush right now, I’m meeting a friend for ____, but I’d like to talk to you again tomorrow.”
As you say this, you hand him your phone. She will know what to do and, if you are confident and determined, she will do it. What’s great about an approach like this is that you trust her by handing over the phone to her, which is a great way to start earning her trust.
Not only that, you don’t have to say the dreaded words, “Can I get your number?” They have the magical effect of making you and her instantly uncomfortable.
# 3 Ask for the date first
Know? You’ve probably discovered that asking for a woman’s phone number doesn’t always ensure that she will answer or call you back. So the chances of getting a date are slim. But if you ask her out right away, you get both the date and the number:
“Hey, I have to run right now, my friends are waiting for me. What are you doing in ___?”
Once you set the date, just say:
“Okay, now give me your number in case something comes up.”
Okay, you will get less numbers this way, but you will also have more women who are really ready to date you … which is what you want, right?
# 4 The focus of the text
This is very sneaky and VERY effective. Asking if you can text a woman is less intrusive than asking if you can call her. Yes, you will still get the number, but using the word “text” will alleviate it. Now the best way to do this is to have a reason to text him.
Here’s the plan: During the conversation, ask him what he’s doing later that day, or maybe what he’s doing right now. So you show a little interest and say:
“Hey, I’ve always wanted to go there / do that, could you do me a favor? It’s very small.”
(Most women will say yes)
“Text me and tell me how it went. You can say, ‘It was great’ or ‘It sucked.’
Then: “Here, I’ll send you a text message so you just have to reply.”
When she actually texts you, then you can start a conversation that leads to a phone call and then a meeting … you get the idea.
# 5 The indirect approach
With this approach, you need to make sure you have a good conversation or you’ll have a hard time following up and getting her to respond to your follow ups. Engage her in a conversation about something she saw online, it can be anywhere. During the conversation, you tell him that you are going to send a link to his phone.
Most people these days have phones that also have internet access, and you can send them the link and ask them to text you and tell you what they think. If you do well in the first conversation, you can usually turn this into something.
