Why does it take so much balls to ask a girl at the mall for her number?

Because it’s more difficult to break the ice.


If you are part of the same class, the ice is easier to break. If you are part of the same [enter group activity] the ice is easier to break. If you’re attending the same event, the ice is easier to break. That’s because of the pre-established common ground.


At the mall, you don’t have as much common ground to start off, you’re just strangers meeting at a public place.


You’re also interrupting her day.


So, you’re working with less common ground, being you’re more intrusive, so you’re going to really leverage your charisma and social finesse more, because there’s a higher likelihood of social awkwardness if the interaction flops.


There’s less environmental assistance and there’s higher risk — which will increase your overall social anxiety more than another setting.


That’s why it takes more balls. 🙂

If you don't have years of experience with rejections, then you tend to catastrophize and you imagine melting away if a girl rejects you. When you've been rejected a sufficient number of times, you no longer fear the process and you don't hesitate.

Because chances of her not being interested are higher. The chances of rejection are greater.

then ask her for a blowjob if you can't ask her for her number

It doesn't.

You lack the confidence, is all.

I don;t know but it is the most frightening thing that I have ever faced.

Because if you don't have extra balls, then girls will mostly there lol

fear of rejection. The mall doesn't matter. It could be anywhere.
