Search Results: asking her number

So a number of women here said on my other question here: (https://www.girlsaskguys.com/dating/q4852214-how-would-you-feel-if-you-somehow-learned-that-you-were-the-5th) they would feel bad being the 5th choice by a guy who asks out but gets rejected by four other women...

so my question is how soon do you think someone should wait before getting back out there and trying again? Guys go through rejections all the time... and it is very much a numbers game of sorts really. the more you ask out you are likely to get at at least one yes at some point. But i guess some people don't like this? So in that case what would make you feel less like you were just another option somewhere down the line and more of the person they really want to be with? Does that mean you should wait a little bit after asking someone out and getting rejected?

or maybe we should just not mention how many we ask out before dating you? and we just kinda remain blissfully unaware of that?

I just met this beautiful woman from Serbia because the milkshake mixing machine wasn't working right at the gas station, lol. So her and I had to figure it out so we could mix our milkshakes. We ended up having a long conversation and I told her that I love her accent. She seemed kinda flirty as well. She has the most intense and beautiful brown eyes.

Anyway, she's like 22 and I'm 42 I guess. I didn't bother asking for her number or anything because I forgot that I'm not 22.

I've been talking with this girl who gave me her phone number, but a fake name. She told me from the outset that the name was fake, so it's not that big of a deal.

I asked her for her real name at the beginning of this week, and she never responded. I suspect that the reason might be that she's uncomfortable with me asking her real name.

Should I apologize for asking?
