Dating : I (F24) gave my number to a guy!
This was the first time I’ve ever done this! I usually let guys approach me in public, but I remember how my fellow reddit men say they women don’t approach that often, and that it makes them feel appreciated. I put on my big girl panties and went for it! he took my number and we chatted for a bit at the place, my friend told me he was staring at me from across the way when I wasn’t looking. Even when we were leaving, he called me Over and told me I was really beautiful 🥰
Will he text me? Who knows, but I’m glad I put myself out there, the ball is in his court now.
It’s weird how this is so wholesome. You definitely boosted the guys self esteem.
A girl at a night club about 5 years ago said I was a good dancer and I still remember it. Also a girl at work told me I smelt good about 3 years ago.
What I’m trying to say is, this is such a rarity for most men that it’s incredibly appreciated.
Nice one. I’m sure you made his day.
Awesome! I think most women don’t understand the guts is takes to put yourself out there and make the first move. Thank you for taking the chance. I hope it works out for you!
Watch the difference in dating the ones you approach vs the ones that approach you.
I may be old as dirt at 36, but I remember talking to a guy in my class during undergrad. One day after class he asked me if I wanted to get something to eat, and I just said sure. He said he had to stop at his car and he would meet me there. He walked into this diner with a bouquet of Rose’s and said, « I was so hoping you would say yes, or I would have bought myself flowers. I think you are so smart, with the prettiest eyes, I leave class thinking about how your brain works. You light up a room, and you are so nice to everyone. You probably have a boyfriend, but I’ve worked up all my confidence to do this. » I thought this was such a kind, romantic gesture. I didn’t have a boyfriend but I was kind of dating someone. But I thought I have to give this guy a chance, and we dated for 3 months until school was out for summer. I will never forget him, or that gesture. It was a great 3 months, he graduated and moved out of state, but we are still friends on social media. It’s one of my favorite memories.
ROOTING FOR YOU!!!!
Good for you.
ayyye! enjoy the buzz! it is the best feeling, they don’t always call but it is a fun story and will help you continue to be bold and make moves
Practice is the key to success. You should give me your number also!
Good job!
This is a great read. It takes a lot of courage for even guys to approach guys, let alone deviate from the societal norm. I’m sure he will text you since you displayed an attractive trait that most girls don’t have, you’re willing to go after what you want in life instead of waiting around for good things to come.
If a cute girl came up to me and striked a conversation I’d greatly feel appreciated so I’m sure he did as well. Especially if he was already attracted to you physically, he for sure will text you! Proud of you stranger!
Ayyyyeeee!! This is so awesome, you fucking rock!
I like how you finished off your post — « The ball is in his court now. »
Was bold and nice, sure you made him feel good. Let us know if he texts! 😉
This needs to happen way more! I’m a guy and every time I’m even present in the room girls claim I’m creepy. I don’t even want to date any of them usually, but apparently I’m « just standing there… MENACINGLY!!! » which is just retarded and I guess means I’m ugly. Women never flirt with me and when they do I’m usually oblivious to it because I think it’s just someone being basically decent to me rather than treating me like a 2nd class human being. It really helps if women are more explicit about how they are interested in you as a guy and even if they’re clearly just being nice, that makes social interaction way easier than constantly screaming in our faces.
You’re doing the Lords work.
Congrats! I admire you for something I could never do
That was awesome. The smallest gestures can makes the biggest impact. I was once told by a cute girl at a bar once that she liked my shirt, that green was my color. It’s safe to say, most of my shirts are now green.
Thank you!
It’s 2019, yes some males are confident, but some males are shy and the **last** thing they want is a rejection that could possibly make the female uncomfortable or make the public act as if some sort of *sexual harassment* occured.
I know, work on yourself so that your approaches are nowhere close to making others uncomfortable but a lot of dudes could be in the process or have other worries. They might think attraction in their head but too shy to act on it so they pass the oppurtunity.
Things like this would probably help guys with insecurities. Women know how nice it feels to have someone find them attractive. A girl can send out all the subtle hints she wants but if a guy has little confidence he may just assume he’s imagining things.
As an awkward girl who would want to do this, how did you go about doing it?
This made me really happy. I hope you keep trying.
Nice, we need more women to put themselves out there.
Seriously, I wish there were more of you. I always feel so awkward when walking up to a girl, hell, even when dating a girl I am always so unsure of how they feel towards me and so I get hesitant to do anything.
I must come off as boring or shy or something because the relationships never seem to last longer than a month. For how emotional girls are supposed to be, I wish they would be more open worth me about it.
I wish more women did this.
Where are all these women..
You could give all of us guy’s a break by doing this.
Instead of waiting a lifetime for someone you like to make a move on you, go make a move on him.
Very cool.
Call me, maybe
Happy for the guy!
Well done. Good luck!
great job! ty for considering what men have been telling you, it feels so great to finally hear a single, solitary woman say that.
This is very wholesome, and I’m glad you put yourself out there on his radar. Hopefully it works out, but it’s okay if it doesn’t! You won’t believe how many times I (24M) have given my number out to people and heard no response. I’ve always had such great encounters where I felt better about approaching the person as opposed to hearing from them.
Well done! I am in a similar scenario just now where I get attention when out and about but dont pull the trigger. I just need to go for it, like you did!
Congrats and great job 🙂
way to go!!!!
Happened to me a couple nights ago at a bar. Cute girl came up to me and told me I was really handsome and she liked that I was tall. We chatted for a bit. I was gonna ask her for her number, but she beat me to it. It was so awesome. I thought about that all night.
