"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

long story short
i was bored one day and decided to go to the mall. went into a store that a friend or my brother's works at, we'll call her girl a. anyway, i see another girl, we'll call her girl b, who i've talked to only once before. shes pretty cute. anyway, when i get to the store they're pretty busy. i talk to girl a for a bit and girl b comes by and says hello then goes back to work. as im talking to girl a she starts talking about how girl b thinks im cute and asks me if i like her. i say "yea". then a few mins later i see her talking to girl b and the 2 giggle. girl a refused to tell me what she told her but claimed to not have said a word about what we had talked about before. i told her that i didnt really care if she had (helps me out in the long run). but she insists that she didnt. i get the bright idea to go get girl b's phone number but she disappeared somewhere in the back (they're still busy in the store mind you). so i ask girl a to go get her for me real quick. girl a disappears in the back and instead of bringing girl b she comes back and tells me girl b's phone number then goes right back to work. id been there for a good half hour ad was running late for another commitment so i said my goodbyes and left.

after the fact i thought to myself "i wonder if girl b knows girl a gave me her phone number". i should have asked girl a "girl b knows you're giving me this right?" now im kinda afraid to call her. i dont wanna look like the creepy guy who was too afraid to ask her for her number. i was quite content with doing it myself but she doesnt know this. should i call her anyway?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

i've never believed in getting a phone number from someone else. just seems creepy to me. think ill be able to play it off if she says "how did you get my number?" only in the severly repulsed sort of way not the happy and surprised way.

Smooth, it's good your being proactive, but why didn't you just ask the girl herself for it? Her friend is going to tell her she handed out her phone number to you and if she doesn't like you, she won't be answering anyway.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

This is just an idea, but i'd either:

A) call sometime, play it off like the girl pushed the number down your throat before you could ask her

B) delete #, in a few days ask girl for #/to chill, say you didn't actually put it down or that you were just doing it to get the friend to not bother you, but you thought about it and want to give her a try.

IN THE FUTURE DONT GET THE # FROM THE FRIEND! :)
