How to Get a Phone Number

Getting the number actually starts before you go to get the number. This is not a manual on seduction, so I won't go into all the messy details on how to hold a conversation, etc, but suffice it to say the basic ingredient to a successful number pull is comfort. If she's no comfortable with you and you suggest the number exchange, you'll likely get the "I have a boyfriend" line, or fake digis.

The best way to get a number is to have a REASON to need the number. Don't just say: "Hey, give me your number and I'll call you sometime." That's nebulous and pretty much implies that you're just interested in hooking up. Early on in the interaction talk about hobbies and different activities that are going on later in the week. This will allow you to call back to those activities naturally at the end of the conversation, and provide clear context for getting the number.

For example, near the beginning of the conversation, throw out that you're into rock climbing. Then, as the conversation goes on, mention that you're going rock climbing to a new place later that week. Finally, after you're convinced you have some good comfort built up and you're ready to head out, tell her she seems pretty cool and should go rock climbing with you next week, to give you her number, and you'll call her with the exact time and place.

Obviously, rock climbing could (and should) be replaced with any activity you have a mutual interest in.

Always do a number exchange, and never settle for giving out your number (if she asks you for your number and insists she'll call you, ask for her number so you kno who's calling). Unless either of you isn't particularly tech-savvy and can't figure out the other's phone, the best way to do the number exchange is to swap phones. You put your number in her phone, she can put hers in yours.

The reason for this is while she's putting in her number and name in your phone, you can put your number in her phone under the name of "Sexy Bar Guy" or something similar. Either she'll see it right away and laugh, or better yet, she won't notice it until you call her and she sees "Sexy Bar Guy" pop up on her phone.

-Don't ever ASK for her phone number. And certainly don't ever ASK for permission to call her. Say something like "Give me your number and I'll call you."

-If you know her from someplace like school or work, DON'T use school or work as a pretext to get her number. Make it something social. Otherwise, when you transition from school/work to something social, she'll become suspicious.
