Got The Number

[GuitarOnFire7]

It seems like she gave me her home phone number. I know from past experience that she always carries a cell-phone on her.

I phoned once or twice on Thursday, and got no reply. Then I phoned once earlier today. Again, no reply. I've been phoning in the morning, so that she isn't tired, but I might switch it up a bit now.

Any ideas?

no reply after that many calls = no reply at all but i dunno maybe she was busy

Ok, first of all, are you leaving messages?

This is the perfect example for those of you who get too caught up in "Doc Love's rule of getting the home phone number." This is called doing the opposite. Many take this rule to heart, not realizing that, while guys insist that they must get the phone number, in reality she is giving out the number she doesn't really answer, and avoids giving the real number (her cell phone number).

Stop calling as often. Leave her a ****y/funny message while coming across with a take it or leave it attitude, and wait until she responds.

If you had 50 numbers, you wouldn't be thinking about a particular one. Go talk to more broads.

how old are you guitar?

cuz by now you should be able to tell the diff. b/t a cell # and a home #

i.e. where i live home nums start w/ either 431, 254, 256, 271, + more depending on what city in the Dayton area you live in.

cell phone # have weird starting digits, like 760, 271, 272, 238, 859, etc..

u should be able to tell the diff b/t a home and cell number.

and n e way- why n the fvck should it matter?

and... dont repeatedly phone her. wait a few days, and then call again. leave a message after like the 3rd time in a week-2week period, then do not call ever again.

plus cell phones have call id normally

If she's out and about, there is a huge difference between her giving out her home or cell-phone number.

I know her through the local university's FROSH week. We were going to hook up in September, but I bungled my chance of getting her number.

I saw her getting ready to leave class on Tuesday, and she asked three questions in the span of five seconds. She seemed to be very interested, but we all know how reliable signs are!

No messages so far. When I phone her to leave a message, should I give my callback number? That doesn't seem very DJ-like.

erase her number from your phone. Go talk to other girls. NOW

Don't erase her number just yet...but DO stop calling and go talk to other girls.

If you've left a message and she hasn't called back in a couple weeks, then delete the number.

Phoned up today to leave a message and got her mom. I asked for the girl, and the girl came on. She said I had woken her up, but I *did not* apologize for this.

Anyways, after a very brief bit of small talk (15 seconds) stating 'How are you?', etc. I asked her out for hot chocolate for Tues or Thurs. Then she paused a while, which doesn't sound good, so I just remained quiet, and she tried moving the date (bad sign; although we *do* have exams coming up fast and she has tutorials). Eventually, after a bit more negotiation, which can be good or bad, we settled to meet on Thursday Dec 16th on campus at a specific time in the morning.

She comes across as the quiet shy girl, but she seemed fully capable of speaking to me over the phone.

It sounds like she's not 100% sure to this. In the meantime, I'll probably start looking for numbers as suggested above.

Edit: She flaked on me. However, I have improved when it comes to speaking over the phone with a girl and negotiating. Thanks everyone for your replies.
