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?

>>Reading Hal's post and dilema, it all proves my point and theory. If a guy is interested in you, he finds a way to ask you out or atleast a number.<<

We just need to get more of those shy guys to read this board and get a little prodding like Hal did. :)

AJ, enjoying life with C.

I agree that when a guy is interested, he will find a way and the courage needed. But the problem, one I often find myself in, is when you see somebody on the street, or mall. By the time you make up your mind to approach her, she is gone. I find that really disappointing.

Anyway, congradulation and good luck to Hal.

I know this has been said enough, but I too believe you should call her. Just because you know she's busy doesn't mean she's too busy to schedule something. And don't feel bad about being nervous, I've yet to meet anyone (guy or girl) that wasn't a little nervous when a date is initiated.
And, just to remind you, if she's interested she will go out with you. If she makes excuses or can't find a time then now you know. I'm betting she'll go out with you though so don't over-analyze, just have fun!

You say don’t over analyse but it’s difficult not to. I am wondering if I should call or text at all. I got her number yesterday but I haven’t contacted her yet. Today I bumped into her in at the supermarket and we exchanged a brief “hello” and a few other words, then went to the separate checkouts to pay for our things and I left. The impression I got was that she didn’t want to talk to me !? Maybe I’ve made things awkward now?

Hal, maybe she was trying not too look too desperate. If she likes you, she won't want to push you away by seeming too forward. If she was not into you, she would have avoided you altogether, not given you her number, and politely told you she had a boyfriend when you asked for her number.

CALL THE GIRL!!!!

I'm going to assume you're making this all up because it's April Fool's Day.

Shy,

Although it appears that way, this is NOT an April Fools prank. I will assume your post is just as genuine.

No, I didn't expect her to ask me out or cling to me. But she acted as if we were just friendly strangers..?

Is this her version of nonchalant?

P.S: Do you use webmessenger?
