"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

So I had an impromptu dinner with a classmate of mine; afterwards I got her number. I had her enter it in my phone, and then we parted ways.

But uh, I kind of switched apps on my phone or something before saving it, and I lost her number. >__> Pretty lame, I know right?

We hardly run into each other (probably twice a month or something, but we've connected strongly whenever we do see each other), so I don't think waiting another 2 weeks or something to tell her I forgot her number is a good idea. She'll probably feel a little pissed if I got her number and then don't do anything with it.

However, for my university there's a student directory online where everyone's email is listed. Would it be creepy/too aggressive to email her in this way? In general, I'm very hesitant to contact women on forms of communication which she hasn't herself presented to me, but in this situation I feel like it's the right play. What do y'all think? Should I email her?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

This is a no brainer. Wait the 2 weeks until you see her again. It is not that long of a period and will make you seem more attractive.

Hm...I can see that it conveys a lot of indifference and that I'm not desperate (i.e. going out of my way to contact her), but at the same time I think there's an argument that waiting too long can be a negative, rather than a positive. There's a proper timeframe for when you initiate and contact a woman, right?

Also, I should've clarified that it's not really guaranteed that we'll see each other in 2 weeks - it was more of an approximation of the frequency with which we run into each other (we don't have any classes, activities, etc. together). So us meeting again is not necessarily guaranteed at all. Finally, next week is spring break, and we're both on campus (which was a big incentive for me getting her number) - it's the ideal hangout time.

Not to disregard your advice @redbaron, but is just moving on and forgetting about it still the right call, or is emailing her within reasonable bounds? Or would I simply be giving away too much power and conveying desperation if I emailed to ask for her number?

Email her. While you are ai it, go and get the numbers of other women.
