Agreed. I NEVER understood this PUA idea of a 30-second number close. Why do you have to ask for the number so fast? Give the girl at LEAST a few minutes to get to know you before you put her on the spot and ask for a number. She needs to know SOMETHING about you or she will not answer your calls or texts when you try to reach her.
I agree with this. Why go up to a girl and ask for her number immediately so you can talk to her later on the phone, when you can talk to her RIGHT THERE in person for a bit.
Just go up and talk to her like a normal person, crack a joke, tease her, tell her a short story. Then look at her like you just realized she might be worth getting to know better and ask for it. I like to do something like this.
You: You're fun. We should hang out some time.
Her: yeah!
You: I'll call you.
Her: Um, you don't have my number"
*smile and hand her your phone*
See what's going on there? Didn't even ask for it.
That puts in you in less of a chasing position. She passed your test and seems like a cool person so you get her number and give her a chance to be swept away by you, if she plays it right. You weren't
trying to get her number. You just decided you wanted it.
