How to ask a friend for their number?

Post Reply New Topic

When you're at school/college how do you ask for someone's phone number at the right moment. When I finally muster up enough courage to ask I often interrupt conversation by asking so the question is in turn not fully asked. I sort of mutter a few words and then realise I've interupted and shut up. When is the best moment to ask?

The best moment is when you're already thinking about asking and that person is available to talk to.

Asking someone if uses Whatsapp is a good way. Other way is just asking his number directly.

"Hey, mind giving me your number so I can call you?"

"whats best way to keep in touch with you if you want to keep chatting?" twitter??? facebook?? myspace?? email address??

this i think sounds better, because who knows if they don't want to tell you their number but will think about it later on as they get to know you better


good luck

The best way is to have a reason to need it, like an event you're both going to or a project you're doing together. "Yeah, I'll have to find out about that so...hey, give me your number so I can let you know later, OK?"

Oh yeah, I totally know what you mean there! I've done it many times, though not with phone numbers.

The way I've had NTs do it to me included "hey, do I have your phone number? (no) what is it?" and "(shoves phone into my hands) hey, punch your number into here!" I usually only ask when there's a clear reason for me to have it, usually because we're going to meet up somewhere. That probably doesn't help you, though, if you want to get it just to chat to them.

"Hey, can I have your number?" whenever there isn't an active conversation.
It's really as easy as that.

Thanks people. It seems just a case of doing it and not thinking about it to much beforehand!

Make sure she enjoys her company and she's enjoying the conversation.
Then, after you talk for a bit say something like "Hey, I have to go somewhere soon. Can I call you?"

I generally would only ask for phone numbers if it is related to serious stuff like work or organising events, cause some people are not always willing to share their numbers.

If it was for a friend, I would only ask for the number of a friend if it was to honestly get directions to a movie theatre, event, or just to RSVP to a party.
