Six Mistakes You'll Probably Make When You Ask For A Hottie's Number

#1 Not Putting Your Name Into His Smartphone

When you call him, it’s better to have your name displayed on his phone than a bunch of random numbers he’s never seen before. He’ll think it’s a sales call (which it is, actually!) or worse, a bill collector.

Some guys don’t answer numbers they don’t recognize and sometimes, depending on how much they’ve had to drink, tend to forget that they gave their number out. 

Or horror of horrors, you ain’t the only one he gave it out to and he can’t remember which one you are. It also gives the impression that you were cool enough to put on him on his contact list.

#2 Asking For His Phone Number In The Form Of A Question

Asking for a phone number puts out a whiff of desperation. And as you know, desperation leads to masturbation. There are artful ways of phrasing a request that don’t sound like a question. You may not be a confident guy but you can still use confident language.

Which sounds more confident to you:

“Excuse me for asking this, but can I get your phone number"?

or 

“Why don’t you write your number down for me.”

#3 Giving him Your Phone Number Instead

If you think you can get around asking for his phone number by giving him yours, think again. Most men don’t like to chase; they like to be chased. Putting the burden on him to call is like saying, “I want you to be less of a man for me.”

By the way, if he ever says, "Why don't you give me your number instead," you may as well walk away. Ninety percent of men who say that will never call you. 

#4 Not Exchanging Phone Numbers

If you have smartphones (who doesn’t?) this is not a problem. But what if you forgot your phone or there’s no reception where you met? It’s always better to exchange phone numbers than simply get his. There’s a reason for this. What if you lose his? At least, there’s a small chance he might call you.

#5 Asking For A Phone Number Too Soon

Asking for a phone number if you haven’t spent about 15 minutes talking creates a high risk of getting a fake phone number, a no pick-up or no text-back. With a few exceptions, if you don’t spend the time building attraction and desire, you might as well ask for his mailing address for all the good it’s going to do you.

#6 Forgetting His Name By The Time You Get His Number

He gives you his number and as you’re about to put it in your phone, Brain Fart! You forget his name. Awwwwwkward....

Now you have to ask his name again. And that’s a deal killer because in a guy’s mind, Didn’t Remember My Name = He Doesn’t Care. There are a couple of ways around that:

Say his name out loud when he first gives it to you, and use it several times during the conversation.

Give him a nickname and say, “You know what, I have too many guys with your name in my phone, so I’m going to put you in as _____ (come up with a nickname quick!)
