Guy gives number to girl on subway...

I saw this girl a couple times on my subway last week. She was strikingly beautiful...tall, thin brunette, east-european looking. I couldn't keep my eyes off her. As it turns out she and I both get off on the same station on the commute home.

Last Thursday, I got off the train and saw her. We both totally stared at eachother for a few seconds, then I walked up to her and introduced myself. I told her I thought she was very pretty and had to introduce myself. She blushed, of course....She surprisingly said that she's seen me at the food court near my work as well (we work across the street from eachother as it turns out and work in the same field). We chat for a few minutes about our work and I ask her if I can give her my number&email so she can contact me and we can go for coffee. She says yes and we part ways.

Ladies, I guess I'm wondering if she will call or email me? Did I screw up not asking her for her number?

I was thinking that I should have asked her for her number, but I didn't want to come across as sleazy or invading her privacy and thought if she's interested she would at least drop me little email to get things started. But we'll see. I guess I'll wait a week to see if she contacts me. I'd like to get to know her better at least. Chances are that we will bump into one another again since we share the same subway station and work so close.

Lucky you...I never came close to meeting a guy on the subway who I found strikingly handsome.

"I'd like to get to know her better at least." ---- hehehe....you want to plant a big wet one on her and you know it. But, you are gallant nonetheless.

I'm sure you did not screw up by giving her your number and email, but I am surprised you didn't ask her for her number. I agree, she may email you because it is alot easier to break the ice that way and she is less likely to mess anything up. Unless you are me, of course, and then it's anybody's guess as to what I could screw up next, hehe. Anyway...like you said, if she does not contact you within a reasonable period of time you can always chat on the subway again and go from there. Good luck!!

Sure she might call, she could think you were being thoughtful - leaving it in her hands, so she didnt' have to give her no. to a total stranger.

I saw her a couple days ago. I was having lunch with my buddy who works in her building too). She walked by, got some food and came back. She saw me then proceeded to take her hair down and then look right at me. I nearly melted right there....
I called her name, walked up to her. We chatted for a while and she said that she still wanted to get together, that she found my card (it was crumpled in her jacket) and would give me a call. It's been a couple days and I haven't heard from her since. I was happy to see her though.

I would continue to be friendly but still leave the ball in her court. Don't start nagging her like, "So when are we going out?" You've let her know you're interested already so leave it up to her.

This is unbelievably one of the most romantic way to meet with someone and with good luck/hopes to become his/her partner. My best of luck to you! Just have some more patience. I have realized it is the only thing that helps in the long run!

Just wanted to give a little update on my subway crush. Well, I saw her last week and got her number at the subway station. She said she's seen me with my kid in the neighbourhood and wanted to know who he was (I told her the truth, that he's my son and I have joint custody). She then wanted me to know that she's quite a bit younger than me (I'm 34, she's 20!). I said I was cool with it and then asked her if she still wanted to give me her number and go out and she still said yes.

So I wait couple days then call her up. We chat for an hour and get to each other better. I asked her what she was doing this (past) weekend and she said she was out of town for a dance competition. So I don't get a chance to ask her out.

As the conversation is winding down, she made a point of saying that she looks forward to the 'next time' and that she now has my number on her phone.

SO things are looking pretty good wouldn't you say?

I plan on calling her tomorrow to make some plans to hook up.
