Worst way to pick up a girl


Recommended Posts

I was at a bar with some friends tonight, and we were some of the few people dancing to the live music. At the end of a song, we went back to our table and a guy came up to me.

 

Guy: Can I have your number?

Me: I don't know your name...

Guy: (name)

Me: oh...well, I don't usually give my number to people I've never talked to before...

Guy: *storms away*

 

No "hi", no introduction, nothing. Not sure if this was serious or some sort of joke...but guys, if you are planning on asking a girl for her number, PLEASE strike up a conversation with her first!

Idk, maybe it's just my age or city of residence, but that's how probably 60% of my interactions with guys go. After very little interaction they'll ask for my number and depending on their approach (and whether I find them physically attractive), I'll either tell them I'm married/taken/lesbian/etc or give them my number.

 

Some guys approach me purely because they think I'm good looking and I accept that. While it's nice to have a longer talk or bout of flirtation with someone before exchanging information, I'm not exactly opposed to this sort of approach.

Isn't it obvious from his Neediness and Childish 'personality' that he wasn't?

 

Not really. He could have easily been very good looking and just very arrogant.

Wow, that's terrible. Reminds me of guys who just ask me for my number while I am walking down the street. I am always completely flabbergasted thinking: 'Seriously? Do you think I'll give a total random stranger my number? If you want to talk to me, why don't you do it now?' I don't say that because those guys scare me, I think someone who does a thing like that might not be aware of socials standards of interaction so I just say no and quickly walk away.

 

And NO, it does not matter if he is handsome or not. As far as I know many serial killers were really handsome and charming (e.g. Ted Bundy), so that does not win points with me at all. However, if someone comes up to talk to me, then obviously whether I find them attractive is important, but if (young) Paul Newman himself asked me for my number without at least having a conversation with me first I would still say no.

This reminds me of a few weeks ago when I was at the gas station. All this guy said to me was "damn baby you look good! Lemme get that number"....uhhhhh no thanks!!

I asked for a girls number on the tube once, she asked why and i said i like your boots. We had a few drinks and are friends for 11 years now. I was obviously young and very precocious;)

Low investment of effort tailored for a generic approach. It works on some women just not on you.

low effort is all a stranger deserves. i just laugh when a guy goes up to a girl and spends 30 minutes talking to a girl about boring topics such as school or work, she finally makes an excuse to get away, and he doesn't get a phone number.

Agreed. Or the ones that are too intimidated to initiate touch to test their response.

 

If you have the courage to make a cold approach why stop there?
