Got her number but I AM SO UNCOOL!

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?

Ask her to have lunch with you.
That's harmless and innocent enough.
Ask her. Ask her!

You are just tormenting all of us at this point. I think you enjoy getting a rise out of us. :)

AJ, enjoying life with C.

Not really tallgirl. I just don't think there is anything more that needs to be said. I think the minute by minute updates are a bit excessive, plus I don't think she is interested anyway. There are more than enough examples in other threads to convince me that it wouldn't matter if I text, called, MSN'd or e-mailed. If she were interested she would be glad that I made contact and would be keen to reply, it's THAT simple. The last text I sent to which I have not had a reply is this:

If that's what you believe, that's what you believe. None of us is going to be able to convince you that you're wrong, so I won't try (again)...but I will say...I can't believe you sent another frickin' TEXT message to her after everything that was said here!!!

Oh well.

<<<)...but I will say...I can't believe you sent another frickin' TEXT message to her after everything that was said here!!!>>>

Kind of reminds me of a client I had to cut loose.

They asked to come on board with me, because we win. We win, because I teach the horses and riders how to do it the right way.

They kept doing things the way they wanted to.

Didn't get the results they wanted, but wouldn't listen to me.

Buh-bye was my only possible response.

I can't believe this thread went above 100 and Hal has not asked this woman out on even a lunch date.
The text messages are pretty...redundant. They also sound pretty..teeny bopperish?
Hal! What's wrong with you? Why can't you just dial her up and blurt out, "So. what are you doing for lunch?" If you don't think she's interested, why are you wasting your minutes with text messages? Aren't they 50 cents a letter or something like that? I don't know. I don't bother with that. I'd rather call or be called. If I didn't think someone was interested in me, I wouldn't bother texting that's not getting me anywhere except to pay out my pocket. Hal, you're not getting anywhere. It's been a week and you have not asked this woman out! SMH at you. Just SMH at you.

I think you are being a little bit paranoyed. Give her a call, ask her if she is free for drinks sometime this week. Nobody is "cool" about asking for a number unless you have done it a million times. I am sure she was kind of excited that you asked even though she probably knew you were nervous. I think its cute.

Hang in there. You will be fine.
