Do guys ever regret not asking for phone number?

[Anonymous]

Just wondered, as a girl if I meet a really nice guy in a bar, I expect him to ask for my number, if he doesn't I take it he's not interested. Then I leave disappointed that I'll never meet him again do guys ever feel the same ?

I just found this website. The fact that you let us in a bit inside a womans world by telling us how you feel when a man does not initiate, is very helpful.

A lot of woman think we have a bible on how to date or get someones number. This society is part to blame too. Reading your question somehow makes me regret more. We are so caught up with our own insecurities and egos that we forget the woman that is in front of us. All. we have to to do is ask, if she says no then at least you. tried. If she says yes but thinks get iffy later.. then hey, at least you tried. Shit, nothing is handed to you sugarcoated. There is trials and errors, but you will most definitely get more dates the more you. try.

To answer. your question, yes, I regret some of them. Its like you strip yourself of an experience that could have been great. Its been 6 days since this beautiful jaw-dropping woman came to my store who really digged me and I stupidly didn't ask her number, i kept it professional cause i was at work. Thats what I got for my professionalism, a pile of regret.

Yes I do. I regret a lot of times where I should had approached the girl and got her number. But then getting the number can sometimes lead to drama because say if yo uand the person don't connect. Say if the person doesn't remember you. Then sometimes girls tlak different on the phone then in person. I think a lot of times guys don't like being rejected and look stupid if the girl says no. Everythign comes with risk. A lot of guys are afraid to take risk and changes because they want to look cool for their ego.

I wouldn't say I regret it, but I do remind myself frequently to step out of my shell and do it (I'm a little more on the shy/reserved side). It's not like she'd remember, or even see me ever again if she were to say no.

yep, absolutely. We regret not asking for that number and we regret women not offering or saying we should hang out again or something along those lines.

Definitely and it's not because we don't feel the same it's just insecurity.
