Have you ever approached someone on the street for their number?

Question

Or their social media details

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

I have found that the majority of the time when women show their attraction towards me and l approach for casual conversation, then ask their number, l get shot down. I live in a small city so after l have at least learned their first name, l go search them on facebook. Most people don’t have their page set to private so it makes it easy for me to creep. After tip toeing around, l find they are in a relationship.

I see these women on a somewhat frequent basis and they continue to show attraction towards me anyway. A lot of the times they are working their day to day jobs. I recently asked one to meet me after work for a drink. She said no. But l do still see her from time to time and she is just as friendly as ever. I found on facebook she has a guy that is her baby’s daddy and l am still debating on asking her for a drink again. They aren’t engaged or married.

Another one l met works a job but only gets a 30 minute lunch and l have asked if l could spend that time with her out in that establishments garden center. She happens to be married and understandably has refused my invitation.

This small city l live in is a rather conservative town and women are in committed relationships, married or divorced, bitter and guarded.

You are better off knowing someone who can vouch for your character when looking for a partner.

I did not grow up in this town and went to high school and college in a city filled with single women out to have fun. Unfortunately, l have built a career where l am now and can’t just up and leave without screwing myself out of my retirement benefits.

I do have other interests in life and view dating as a hobby. Just another hobby in life to add to my happiness.

Technically no, because I don't ask for socials since I'm not going to look at them anyway. I have approached people on the street and asked to take them to coffee/drinks/dinner because I wanted to get to know them better. Not much, probably only a dozen times or so.

I did it several times.

I did it for a friend who was crushing hard on a guy she saw on the street while we sitting inside a restaurant.

I did it again for another friend who was also crushing hard on a guy she saw across a courtyard.

In another instance when I helped another friend out, the guy didn't find my friend attractive enough to get interested.

Some of the guys actually wished I was the one who was actually interested in them and that I was asking for their info for myself.

I'm older so back in my teens and 20s that's what everybody did. You see someone in passing you stop them and let them know you like them and want their number. I mean, it was considered kind of weird if you didn't at least get asked for your number 1 or two times going out.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I have approached women who I knew IRL and on dating sites, but never a stranger on the street.

Avicenna · Answer

For conversation actually, which often ends up with her getting her number.

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

Nope. I’m not that brave.

normalice · Answer

There is no possible reason to do so other than lust. So, unless a girl looks like she is also lustful, there is no point. I have seen a few girls like that but they are rare. Approached exactly two, and it worked out well, but several were to far away to approach.

menina · Answer

No and it's something I'll never do. It's dangerous because you don't know how the other person is going to react.

Besides I'm a black woman who is mostly attracted to white men, so there's an high chance of being rejected. 😬😬😬

7Phoenix7 · Answer

I'll start a conversation but I don't just ask for the number lol

Tina19 · Answer

I got approached in public places few times for my social media

Sowanaski · Answer

It did not go well. Men and/or women do not appreicate being approached romantically by a stranger unless they are also seeking it.

desperatelyhungry · Answer

No I’ve admitted to men I like them but I ain’t this bold

Anonymous · Answer

Sometimes I might start a conversation, then that gives them the confidence to ask for my number. I'm not interested in dating enough to ask, so sometimes I'll just talk to someone and never see them again lol

I approach, but I never ask those questions. I am not that intrusive.

Shiva1312 · Answer

No, I don't have that much courage. It feels strange to me to ask for a number, especially from girls.
