Can I Get Your Number?

I have seen this maneuver a multitude of times and it must be noted. You know what, bookmark this page. If you think you had this sort of swag, you probably now know why the female you were originally talking to stopped answering your calls.

It was a mutual friend’s birthday party at a nightclub in Downtown LA. Now granted, this “male friend” and I had only recently begun talking and it was clear that we were both opting for the single lifestyle. During the event, it was refreshing to hear that this “male friend” had mentioned me to a couple good friends of his. Quite flattering to know Facebook photos were exchanged and details highlighting my educational swag were noted. Unfortunately, my spotlight was short lived.

           

I noticed that this “male friend” of mine continuously “wandered the club.” Fair enough, he was single and frankly LA got some bad females. However, when you are talking to someone and it is pretty apparent she is with you for that evening, do not, I repeat, do not ask for a girl’s phone number 5 feet away. Better yet, please do not cupcake and request 3 different girls' numbers right in front of the girl you are talking to.

           

So I am assuming I am getting some flack for this lesson. I get it, when you are casually dating, one is more than welcome to get a multitude of numbers. But to do it right in front of someone you are talking to is blatantly disrespectful and honestly quite hurtful. Go to the other side of the club and get those numbers son, I know I did.

LESSON: Do not get another girl’s phone number in front of the girl you are talking to. If you are going to hustle the infamous 10 digits, do it at the other end of the club.
