Asking for his mob no = chasing him?

Well, i've talked about this guy before. Acting v couply with him at the ball, then him going cold that evening when he had a headache. Also flirting with him on previous occassions & his mates telling me that he likes me, this was previous to the ball.

Neways, i really want to talk to him, but me being me didnt ask for his no bcos i thought that he should ask for mine (him being a guy!) & now i'm stuck bcos i dont know whats happened. My girlfriends say dont chase him, & ppl do say play hard to get right?

But i really really like him so should i get his number off a friend ? as might this scare him and me be chasing him? or just leave it to his friend to ask him about the situation & take it from there?
get his number and text him. If he likes you he'll go out with you and if he doesn't he won't.

Yes, but it'll be even worse if you do nothing, I assure you.

when i got my boyfriend's number, i just took out my phone and said "i haven't got your number, what is it?". then told him to text me. it worked quite well i think :smile:

I do say, ask!

Stop messing around and get his number! Women want equal rights, why should it always be the guy who makes the first move? Sod tradition!

You're right, he might hate you. Rejection is awful. Proceed with caution.
hmm, i was just talking to two of his mates and they kinda warned me against getting his number from him. they were like when we like girls we ask for their numbers & not the other way round
I got my boyfriends number from his stepsister before i even met him. Thats probably not very helpful. Get his number from someone, then just text him saying hey, whats up? I'm sure he won't mind. Mine didn't have a problem with getting several texts from a complete stranger.
It don't really matter. a) it won't be that awkward, b) getting someone's number means you might like them, c) if it works out great, if it don't it's not the be all and end all.

So many people are afraid of rejection, too scared to ask, think there'd be awkwardness. Well it's natural to be a bit nervous, but by the time you've done this twice or something, it's fairly standard procedure.

next time your messing with your mobile, just say "oh, i dont think we have each other's numbers" and if he is funny with you or won't give it to you, then he has issues! if he won't give it to you, just be like "ok, woah, chill, it's just a phone number darling"

Just casually ask him for it - if he's the kind of guy who puts a lot of emphasis on who asked who for whose telephone number, well, you don't want someone as anal and immature as that for a boyfriend anyway!

not really if you don't like him other than a platonic friendship way...

Totally agree - just ask him. And remember guys can be just as shy/scared of rejection as us girls.
I met a guy last week who I was geting on really well with, I was literally just getting in my friend's car to leave and he hadn't asked for my number and I was about to write him off as not interested when I thought, sod it, nothing to lose, and just said 'How about you give me your number so I can text you next time I'm in town?'. We swapped numbers and he text me before I'd even got home to say how much he'd enjoyed meeting me. Just try something like that, ask him casually... it's not like you're proposing marriage :smile:
