How should I have handled it ?

Hi,

Yesterday I found myself having a completely unexpected conversation with a girl but I am wondering if I should have acted a different way or said something else.

On the bus after work, I sat next to a hot girl that I noticed even before the bus arrived, she coughed once, the second time she did I looked at her less than one second and she immediately asked me if there was something wrong,

I replied no

She said that she noticed I looked at her and was wondering if something was wrong.

I then replied that It was just a natural reflex when I hear somebody coughing next to me.

She then said I’m not allowed to cough ?

And I replied : Today you can because I’m in a good mood

She laughed and explained that it was because of the dust in the air, we then had a long conversation and I noticed that she laughed at all my unfunny jokes (intentionally unfunny)

I think we had a nice interaction so I asked her to give me her phone number since we were coming closer to my bus stop. She told me she would prefer that I give her my number, she saved it in her phone and we talked a little bit more before I arrived at my stop.

I don’t think she will call me back but I was wondering how would you have handled it ?

Thank you

In my experience, when people you rarely see tell you to give them your number as a response to when you ask them about their number, they usually won't call back and just use that line as a decoy.

You did a good job with that comeback, she probably asked you what was wrong because she was interested and wanted you to start a conversation with her. But instead of asking for the number, tell her to do it as a command and you will notice more success when picking up numbers.

"well it was nice talking to you, write your number in my phone and ill call you sometime" - when you command her to do it, her brain is more likely to pursue that command than if you give her a question.

thanx, the most frustrating part about having close to no experience with women is that I never know what I am doing wrong. I must have said or done something that turned her off but I have no idea what it is
