Whatever you do, do NOT fall for it.

If you give a woman your number, I estimate there’s less than a 10% chance that she will ever call (unless you’re Brad Pitt). Even if you’re getting a great vibe and you really believe she’s sincere when she tells you she’ll call.

It just doesn’t matter. Women are conditioned NOT to pursue. That's our job.

So don’t give out your number UNLESS she gives you hers in exchange. If you don’t have direct experience and you doubt this, try giving out your number when you meet women and see how many call you back.

So you can say something like:

“Listen, let’s be honest. I think you’re cute and I’m interested in seeing you again. I want to know if you’re interested. If you are, great, give me your number and we’ll talk again. And if not, well that’s okay too.”

“It’s just a cell phone number, silly,” and get out your pen as if she IS going to give you her number."

“Don't give me that line (said in a playfully teasing way). I promise I won’t call you more than 12 times a day. Scouts’ honor.”

Or set up a date right there on the spot: “Not a problem. Let’s skip the phone altogether. I’ll meet you tomorrow evening at 6pm at Starbucks. Here’s my number in case something comes up and can’t make it. Call me. Otherwise I’ll be there.”

Or ask for her cell phone number, not her home phone: “Well, if you’re worried about safety just give me you cell phone.”

Or Ask for her email, not cell phone number: “Well, if you’re worried about safety just give me your email.”

Now let’s look at another very common objection, and a GREAT way to get around it…
