So I got my first number last night... I'm thinking that I am going to text her and possibly set up a day 2. Is the next evening too soon? I was thinking of waiting longer but there is only 2 weeks left in my semester so I kind wanted to move things along. I was thinking of opening with something along the lines of "Hey I'm looking for the cute girl who gave me her phone number the other night. Have you seen her?" Is that too cute? Should I go for more of a neg approach?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
Got my first number
- Thread starter BigMak87
- Start date
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
I guess congrats but remember that getting the number doesn't mean much. I get lots of girls' numbers. You know how many of them I go on dates with? Maybe 1 out of every 10. There's way too many attention *****s around these days.
Yeah, I am by no means bragging at all... and am just kinda wondering about some tips I should try to take from here... of course I will be out next weekend trying to get more #s, and I'm not going to lie even getting one number makes your confidence soar at least for the rest of the night!
Maybe I'm just getting jaded in my old age but I'm really starting to get tired of women and their behavior. I don't get much of a confidence boost from getting a number because I know the chances of anything coming out of it.
well done on getting her number
usually 2 or 3 days is a good amount of time to wait before contacting her
forget the negs and all that bullshyt
just be normal and have a normal conversation with her and ask her out on a date

"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.
