Yeah it’s odd, he may be married, dating, gay, and may just flat out say no. I would not give my number to some random person as you know nothing about them. If some stranger walked up to you, would you give them your number?

[Monalisa77]

It was a youngish lad, i think his mother was stood beside him at the bar. He could have just said no, surely?

No, i would just say no.

[Monalisa77]

How does anyone get meeting anyone if were too afraid to ask for anyones number?

[RebelinSteel]

Well there is your answer, well if you work out why you would say no.

[Monalisa77]

doesn't mean he would though, I've seen countless stories were thats how couples get together, if they never got each others number they wouldn't be together, would they

[RebelinSteel]

Try talking to them first, get that brain working and just talk. Or come up with a decent reason why you want his number, or just hand over yours as well. A lot of people are shy, not hugely confident and find it hard.

[Monalisa77]

We didn't have time as we were leaving lol

[RebelinSteel]

True people do get together for some really random reasons including swapping numbers.

[RebelinSteel]

Try popping back to the pub on the same night and time.

[Monalisa77]

I have noone to go with lol. Altho my bro said he often goes to it so who knows. My mum isn't v encouraging when it comes to meeting blokes)(see previous qs)

[RebelinSteel]

I would ditch your mum, it’s not really working trying to talk to a woman with her mum there. If it’s a local pub try talking to a barmaid and see if she can help you track him down, pass message

[Monalisa77]

I literally have to tell her where im going. When i wanted to try to arrange a date she kept telling me off for keeping secrets etc.

[Monalisa77]

Im honestly this close to meeting someone off the app im on straigbt away, everyone i have spoken to only insist on wanting to meet that week, its like we can't just chat. But i know what thwyre after, and my mum is pushing me to doing that yet she sitll doesn't get it

[RebelinSteel]

That sounds really controlling.

[Monalisa77]

I even said what am i going to have to put make up on and dress up like a tart i probably would get one then?

[Monalisa77]

She keeps insisting on it protecting me, yet she doesn't really care i scratched my arm with a massive cut cos i slipped a step during the night going ot turn the washing machine off (it was keeping me awake) and the fact that she's making out thinfs didn't happen when it did. A guy stroked my hand and she said it slipped lol

[NamerOfStars]

Not at all. I'd probably try to start up a conversation in person first; see if I could get a better handle on whether there really was interest, but it's not a bad thing.

[Monalisa77]

We didn't have a chance to talk at the time as we were leaving

[NamerOfStars]

Oh, well then it's definitely okay.

[Nikki1989]

It is not wrong, but it is a little odd.

[Monalisa77]

We didn't have time to chat because we were leaving

[coolbreeze]

If the opportunity arises shoot your shot and sees what happens.

[RandomUser1000]

If possible, it would probably be better to start a conversation first.
To get some idea of who they are.

But it could work.

[Monalisa77]

Ye we just didn't have enough time as we were leaving

[Anonymous]

There's nothing wrong with it. Go for it and see what happens.

[Monalisa77]

Thanjs. My mum Thinks the person suggested it was wrong to do so. It was on weds n my dad walked in as the guy was walking past so i couldnt do anything

[Opinion Owner]

Worst that will happen is he tells you no. Even if he isn't interested, most guys don't many compliments from women, so you making the first movie would likely be the greatest compliment he will ever receive.

[Monalisa77]

Yeah im tok shy to ask for the fear of a no lol it was my sil to be who was thinking of asking.

And my mum thinks it would be embarrassing

[killergoku999]

But first try to chat and know a bit more.

[Monalisa77]

We didn't have time

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't see anything wrong with it.

[FrankAu]

depends is he worth the effort or not
