Tomorrow morning I have the day off work and tonight I went out to a bar. I was with a bunch of my friends at a table, and I saw these 2 girls sitting at a table by themselves.

Now I'm very shy and dont have a ton of self-confidence, but I worked up enough nuts to talk to the girls. I said "hey,... are you 2 waiting for anyone?", "like who?" they say. "your're boyfriends?" "no, (the girl I like) I don't have a boyfriend"

So we started talking, we talked about a bunch of things, and I asked her to dance. We danced for a bit (fast dance). For the first set of slow songs I was just talking with her. For the next twenty minutes or so (I had been talking to her for about 45 minutes, she said she was gonna go take a walk with her friend for a "few minutes". She was gone for roughly 15 minutes when I saw her at the bar, and from what I heard it seemed like 2 guys were trying to hit on her (it was her birthday) and I said hi. I asked if those were the friends she was waiting for and she said that she didnt even know them, was just pretending to know them.

By this time my friends really wanted to leave, so I said that my friends were making me leave and asked if I could get her number. "I don't give out my phone number... You can give me yours though." I agreed. I wrote my name and number down on a sheet of paper with a pen so the number or name isn't gonna be smudged.

"If you call me, thanks" I said. Then I said "I gotta go now, goodbye". She said goodbye to me as well, and we hugged each other.

She said she was gonna be at a certain bar tomorrow night and that I should come too (on my own. She said she was with some other friends). I said I was probably going there anyway and I would probably see her there.

The night has ended like the above...


Is the "I don't give out my phone number..." part an immidiate sign that she doesn't like me? Was it a little pathetic to say "If you call me, thanks"?

This is honestly the first real time I've ever had the confidence to talk to a girl at the bar and it was nice. I'd like to know what the ladies here think?

Should I expect a call? Was I shot down and didn't even notice? I really liked this girl. She was very attractive and she had a great voice and a seemingly good personality.

help...

It's always been my policy to never ask a girl for her number, but to rather give her mine. If she wants to call, that's fine. If not, that's fine as well. Just takes the pressure off of me having to worry about when to call (like the 3 day rule and those games). My line would be like, "Why don't you call me sometime and we can hang out?" or some nonsense like that.

The fact that you talked to her for 45 minutes is a very good thing. If she wasn't interested, should wouldn't have talked that long, or her little walk would have been a drive on to the next bar..

Now, if you were a pimp, you woulda said, "My friends are leaving, can you give me a ride home in the morning?" ;)

Just from my experience, most girls who have half a brain don't give out their home phone numbers. They're afraid of the type of guys who would obsess over them and call them all the time. So that's definately not a shootdown. She may want to get to know you better before giving you the power to call on her (control freak!).
Personally, I wouldn't have said "If you call me, thanks." I woulda said something like "Hope to hear from you soon." Or said nothing at all, implying self confidence (although I have very little to nill).
I wouldn't expect a call, but I would definately go chase her down at that bar she's gonna be at tomorrow, and be suggestive that you want to do something with her again, ask her to go to the movies, or go to the beach with a bunch of your friends (don't ask her to go on someone just the 2 of u, that can be real intimidating unless she's some kinda nympho.) Make sure you prep your friends so they're extra nice.
I'm no god of love or anything like that, heck I'm not a girl so I dunno if ur even gonna want my opinion. But that's what I think.
Good luck.

EDIT: I agree with perry, it's better to give a girl your # than ask for it. If u gotta go or if she's gotta go, "Hey, give me a call some time (scribble #), we can do something."

Dude, she asked you for your number. She could have just said "I don't give out my phonenumber" And you talked for 45mins. Sounds like you should be getting a call sometime.

p.s. Meet her at that bar too.

I think she's madly in love with you. Start making marrage plans now :).

I would not expect her to call you. However I think she is interested in getting to know you better. She did tell you where she would be tonight. Go for it.

If she wasn't interested, she wouldn't have told you where she was going to be tomorrow. Good luck...

Show up at that bar tonight, and if she's there, then she's obviously interested. She could have told you she'd be at Chuck E. Cheese's tonight to blow you off, but she didn't. That's a good sign.

I wouldn't have said the "If you call me, thanks" line, that's a little corny. But we've all been there and she's probably not going to hold it against you.

Keep us posted on how you do tonight. Good luck.
;)

An easier way would be to wait outside the bar, check to see what car she gets into, and then write down the license plate number. You can trace any license plate number through the motor vehicle department, and then you will know her real name and address. With this, you can easily find her phone number through the internet or just the phone book. Had one girl give me her name and phone number and found out it wasn't really Ms Jack Off. :)

I hope you don't have a dial-up ISP. I did when I gave a girl my number...


I found out she never called. I found out that she went to a party the day I asked her to do something. Her best friend told me she dug me. Her best friend was probably just being nice.


You sound like you got SOMETHING GOIN ON!:) She asked for your number AND she hugged you. She's hot too? Get outta here..you're giving hope to all the shy guys of the world.:)

Well, I just woke up after being hammered last night... gotta love not having a hangover :D

I hope you guys are right that she seems to be interested. I'm gonna go to the bar tonight and try to meet her again.

Now, to those who are saying "Your giving all us geeks hope", I have one thing to say... If I can manage to work up some nuts, anybody can. The next time you go to a bar, just say hi, hey or something to get their attention.

Even if this girl doesnt like me, I realized this morning that I now have everything to gain and nothing to lose. This first time working up the courage to say something to this girl is still flowing through me (no its not a hangover :p). I think for the first time I feel confident in myself.

Anyway, more about this girl...

Without one word of a lie, she looks like...

Shes a celebrity and a singer, you guys guess who it is and I'll tell you if your right. My sister laughed at me when I said this, but I'm not joking at all.

She is not a celeb. She looks exactly like one though.

It was her 18th birthday last night, so shes pretty young

Carry business cards. Make them up with your personal info,then next time,don't bother asking for thephone number. Just give the girl your personal Bussiness card. You would be surprised how many women carry thier own personal bussiness cards and are willing to exchange them.





Or are those hookers?:confused:





Maybe I don't know anything. I haven't dated in 30 years. But it sounds like the game is still played the same way.;)
