As I said earlier, the chances were slim that an attractive young woman didn't have a boyfriend/partner.

That's not what Alex said! he said that passing a parchment of paper with writing on is not the best approach, I agree 100% that talking to a girl is much healthier for both the OP and the girl.


well passing it silently could be weird, but if he was to say something like 'hey do you want to maybe meet up sometime, here's my number. Or just something to indicate he'd like to maybe see her more with passing the number that I don't think should be too problematic...so long as he accepts if she turns it down.


The old: "Can I buy you a coffee sometime?" :wink:

Well my sister thought it was super cute...when the guy gave her his number, he had been in more than once and seen her more than once so she had had a little dialogue with him before. But yeah its just a number...I don't think initially giving a number like that is bad. In my view what would be bad is if the girl turns it down and then the guy starts like stalking her or something. But giving a number to a person you have interacted with a few times who your interested in itself does not seem inappropriate.


The girl doesn't have a chance to process what's going on so will get creeped out. Unless the cues were real and she was receptive (like your sister) but if they were then the man would normally ask first before passing his phone number.

Nope! passing a girl a phone number without permission is weird


I agree. I think I said that in one of my first posts in this thread.
I still can't really explain it.
It just feels wrong to me. <shrug>

The guy did nothing wrong. He liked a girl, wanted a date with her. He did nothing creepy.

He passed a note—so what?

The girl had a boyfriend. Nothing he could do about that.

This should be the end of it.

There’s other fish in the sea.

GUYS HAVE DONE THIS SINCE THEY COULD WRITE NUMBERS.


It is a matter of learning from the experience and improving.

Can we have a consensus?
Should he pass a note next time or do the: "Are you interested in coffee sometime" or something to that effect?

Should I make a poll?
You know I will do it. :twisted:

Welp, I chose tonight to go see what happened after I gave her the note.

She did see the note, and she has a boyfriend.

Even if she didn't have a boyfriend, giving a note is definitely not the way to go. You gotta be direct and just ask someone out. This isn't high school


If she didn’t have a boyfriend, she would have invented one.


Ahhh.
Mister Positive. :mrgreen:

Boo, the way you’re saying all the things you’ve been saying makes it seem like you don’t want me to have a relationship. How many more things do you have to say is so wrong for me to do? You know you’re the only one who’s been so harsh towards me on this thread, right? Perhaps there’s a reason why that is.

Oh, and you also called me unattractive. :roll:


Because you're doing foolish and self-humiliating things, let alone begging for trouble with law enforcers; stop with this cold approach to stranger sales women which would only perceived as creepy or desperate. Winning the lottery has a higher chance.

And stop listening to those here who are like "aww this is romantic, give it a shot".


I was talking to a woman recently who told me her ex was
a member of the public who she met at work.
She said whenever she saw him he would either stop to
talk or would wave.
Then one day he gave her a box containing his last rolo.

She said: "Even though I didn't find him physically
attractive I agreed to go out on a date with him because
of the incredibly romantic gesture"

I suspect women are more forgiving/charitable than men.
Well, they were back in my day. 8O

I think we have to ask if the image presented is accurate or just symbolic.
The sterling silver one is a tad over the top as a gesture, imo.

Perhaps they make single chocolate rolos also. I don't think they have them here is Australia.
Well, I have never seen one. ;)

It's the commercial's strap line that gives the romantic appeal.
"Do you love anyone enough to give them your last Rolo"

I would opt for the “asking out for coffee” thing myself....but there are women out there who dig romantic gestures—even in these cynical times.

No offense, but was used to work 40-50 years ago doesn’t work anymore.

Young guys should listen to guys like alex and me more often.
