Taking Numbers When the Vibe Isn't " Perfect "?

Today I was at the river washing some bags for my Dad and two girls were there swimming and kept looking at me. I thought they were just curious so I called to them. They asked what I was doing and I said " sugar is in these bags and it's attracting bees so I'm washing them out to make the bees leave ". That's when they started to talk to me every now and then.

One of them, a dark girl named Jody especially I think she liked me. Everywhere on the river bank I went she came close to me. There were times during the conversation when it just didn't feel " right " to ask for her number. I didn't get to a high point where she was clearly amused and I prefer to ask for numbers when girls are feeling good. In the end she left with her friends and I didn't ask her number. She was there with some guys. And I took too long to get her amused and when she was walking away I didn't want to ask. I don't like the chasy feeling of calling back girls when they want to leave . If I got no other option should I just bite the bullet and ask for the number at a conversation end ?

They left and I left the river too. As I was walking back to get lunch at a restaurant I saw a cute brown girl walking towards me and she walked past . I just loved the way her hair was all wild like a after sex look . I couldn't resist and blurted out

Troy : Hey your hair is so wild and sexy . I love it

Girl : ( turning around to look at me and all smiles ) Hey

Troy : ( stammer ) My hair is all wild too and I was wondering if you know any barber around here .

Girl : Sure go around the corner and walk straight

Troy : Huh

Girl : I'll show you ( and we walk off together )

Troy : I'm Troy . What's your name?

Ashley : Ashley

Troy : Oh which side of the hood you from ?

Ashley : ( points)

Troy : I'm from ( point dramatic )

Ashley : ( laughs)


We talk till I arrive at the barber. She calls him . I thank her and go inside. Some part of me feels weird, I should have asked for her number .

The vibe just wasn't right. The end of the conversation I was doing the talking, she was just all straight face. That's not to say she was bored, but she wasn't feeling good like smiling and laughing. I just didn't think it was time to ask her for anything else. Think I should have asked even if it would cause awkwardness. Looking at it any way I may or may not see her again. Me having her number ( getting it at a awkward moment) think I could have called her later and " made it up "?

But something felt off .I tell these both stories because I think the problem isn't so much the conversation but more so the transition to asking for the number suddenly. To where time is limited should I forget about asking smoothly and just ask for the number? Should I stop looking so much at a girl's reaction prior to asking? I realize I am always on the alert of how a girl is feeling and I purposely avoid stuff that would be incongruent to how she is feeling.

You can't expect everything to go perfect in general. From approaching to sex a lot can happen but you still drive though expecting it to happen or highen your chances till next time you meet.

With your example you pull through even though the chances are lowered as the vibe isn't great but you still get the number making sure you can meet another time. Maybe the second time you meet the girl will be in a different mood (talkative, outgoing, happy or the opposite).

It's exactly this problem of wanting everything perfect that hinders a lot of great potential. You can only near perfection with a lot of mistakes but not doing anything will never improve yourself. Get those numbers even if they aren't perfect and consider what you can do better next time to avoid awkward vibes.

I read your reply a few days ago and I wanted to try it out before getting back here. Because I followed your advice I now have two new numbers. Two of them I met in awkward situations but I still asked for their number and I really am glad I did. The interaction initially was awful but now that I can talk to them over the phone its like have so much in common:) Time to ask them out on a date.

PS. I also got a new lay report because I pushed through initial awkwardness:) Respect Man-O, and a Happy New Year 2016 when it comes.
