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?

Nope - telegrams were expensive and only sent in dire emergencies, with really big news - usually a death.
They certainly were never used casually, like telephone or texting.
A telephone is impersonal enough. My preference is to be asked out in person. Telephone would be acceptable, though not preferred. A text or email would be ignored.

I give up.
I cannot agree enough.
Hal, you
If you don't have a date set with this woman by tomorrow and BY voice-to-voice communication, I'm going to report you. To where I don't know, but COME ON!
Oh, maybe the chicken-&%*# police!
