Continuing on from this saga:

http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-rlsinglelovi&msg=6371.1&ctx=128

After the usual small talk, hesitation and missed opportunities I finally got around to asking for her number. But it’s not like I was suave in any way, no, I just blurted it out like an idiot...AN IDIOT!

I handed in my towel and she returned my membership card (it is in a small wallet with a bit of paper with my name on it). This embarrassing conversation is what followed:

Me: You know what you should do? Give me your mobile number, that way the next time we are both free we can arrange to do something.

Her: Ok, Shall I write it on the back of this?

Me: Yes.

Her: It’s a new number

Me: I’m sure you won’t make a mistake.

She handed back the bit of paper complete with her number on the back and as I took it I looked up at her. She was smiling, but it appeared as though she was embarrassed, her normally pale face was a shade of red. I put the bit of paper back into the wallet, said “Thanks” and walked out.

So, how did I do?

Is it worth pursuing?

Well, she could have said no to giving you her number, so you seem to be doing well so far.

It doesn't matter how you did - you asked for that number so you should call her, dangit. Don't leave the girl hangin'

Yes, most people are flattered when someone shows an interest in them. The problem is that being flattered doesn't mean they are interested! Perhaps she is too polite to say no! It's not the first time I have got a woman's number.

Call her!

It's so annoying when a guy asks for you number, then you never hear from him.

Do you think embarrassed = flattered?

What do you do when a guy you are not interested in asks for your number?

Sometimes.

Tell him no, I'd rather not.

Why not yet?

Playing games is for children. If you're interested, call her.

So you can't call and invite her for coffee for Monday evening?
