How to get a girls phone number
Getting a girls phone number may seem difficult at first but it is actually much easier than most people realise. Even the most attractive girls are quite liberal with giving out their number to guys. I will show you why this is the case and how you can exploit it. This article will show you simple step by step formula to get a girls phone number.
First I want to make sure you have read my article which shows you how to get any girl. This covers how to talk to girls. If you haven’t read it then it will make getting the phone number a great deal more complicated than it needs to be.
When to get a girls phone number
So, you have used the techniques I’ve told you about to get into a conversation with a girl. Ideally you want to go home with her the same night, though this is not always possible for many reasons. If you want to see her again then you need to get her phone number. For most guys, this is the very last thing they do when talking to a girl. I want to explain why this is wrong.
The best time to get her number is about 5-10 minutes before the end of the conversation. If you wait untill the very end it has much more of a player feel to the situation – like her phone number was the only reason you were talking to her. Experience has shown that guys who hang around for a while after getting the number are far more likely to actually end up sleeping with a girl than those who eject immediately after.
How to get a girls phone number
The golden rule of getting a girls number is that you must actually get her number. Do not just giver her yours as there is a much lower chance of her calling you.
If you are not pushed for time, then you can say things which will actually get her to suggest meeting up. The way to do this is by talking about things which you are doing in the future (next weekend ideally). If she is interested she will either directly ask to come or say something positive like “that would be so much fun”. If this works then you can simply say “Give me your number and I’ll let you the details nearer the time”. You can adjust this depending on how positive her response is. If she is very keen you can simply say “Give me your number and I’ll call you about it”.
The most important thing here is that you pull out your phone, get it at the keypad screen (if you have an iPhone) and give it to her so she can put in her number. Make sure you are making a statement: “Give me your number…” instead of asking a question “Can I have your number?”. This is much more likely to lead to her complying.
If you do not have as much time, then you need to employ a slightly different strategy. Less time, means less comfort between you two so the idea of a formal date may be a bit of a stretch. A great alternative is to say that you and your friends are going to X bar/club later/tomorrow/next weekend. Say that her and her friends should come and you’ll give her a text to let them know what it’s like. Then simply pull out your phone as I mentioned before as you are saying the words “I’ll give you a text”.
From here, you can either try to get her to come or simply text her some funny, preferably something that the two of you were talking about. You can progress onto the phone within a few days and the push for a date from here. This is not ideal however and should only be used when you are pushed for time or you feel the interaction hasn’t been very strong so far.
The ideal way to get her number is to actually plan a date in advance. Do not suggest dinner and/or a movie. These are bad first date scenarios for a number of reasons. Try something a bit more low key like going out for a drink at a nice wine bar you know, or something less formal. Or you can simply suggest that you two hang out on a specific day – this gives you time to work out something to do at a later point in time. All you need to do is pull you phone out and give it to her while saying “Give me your number and I’ll let you know the details”. This suggests that you, being the man, are going to arrange the plans. It is the best way to get a girls number in the majority of situations.
Preventing flakes
To prevent a girl from flaking, there are a few simple things which you can do. First and foremost is engaging her friends in conversation. If her friends think you are cool then she is much more likely to give out her number and also to actually meet up with you in future. Girls care a lot about what their friends think, especially when it comes to guys.
When you actually get her number, ring her phone to make sure she entered it in correctly. This also allows her to take down your number. This is very important. Many girls won’t answer the phone if an unknown number is calling. If your number is already saved in her phone, she will know it is you that is calling.
Forget what you see on TV or in the movies about waiting 3 days so you don’t seem desperate. Girls will see straight through this and the longer you wait the more loss of emotions towards you she experiences. I always text a girl the same night I meet her. Something fun and light hearted that sets the scene for the two of you to text each other over the next few days.
A classic example is “Hey Sarah it was fun to meet you tonight, you were definitely one of the top 10 Sarah’s from Australia I met tonight! -Troy x”. The word fun implies this is a light hearted text. Secondly I would pick something unique and unusual about her and then put that in the gag about the top 10. So in this case I would have met a girl Sarah from Australia but I met her in Copenhagen where there aren’t many Australians, let alone many called Sarah.
