Just like here on MFP, even when they're cute and flirty, I assume they're already married or have a boyfriend... as it turns out... ends up usually the case here on MFP. Ha!1

I would ask women for their number, but my wife would probably kill me so I play it safe 'cuz I like being alive.2

Would you just take my number already??
You send it, I will take it lol

You could miss out on something amazing if you are always terrified of trying. Is someone saying "no" that big of a deal in the whole scheme of life?
Yes indeed!
Well said
Yeah, because four years of constant rejection have really built my character.....unless you call being disgusted with myself 24/7 for the fact that the opposite sex are instantly repulsed by me and near suicidal levels of depression for being that unattractive character building. If women had to approach and face the hate that 80% of men do, then there would be campaigns for rejection to be reclassified as a form of bigotry/hate crime! (Half serious)
I really don't know what to tell you man. You are way too harsh on your self. From what I can tell you're not an ugly or unattractive man. I think your personality plays a lot into why women are into you. Women don't like a guy that beats himself up all the time and only focuses on the negative's. You have to go into a situation with confidence and expect to have a positive outcome or you never will.
Michael Jordan said it best.
I have failed over and over again in my life and that's why I succeed.
This is so true. Confidence (not to be mistaken with arrogance) is very attractive....negativity, not so much.6 -

Fear in general is the most powerful thing. Second is greed/pride.
Both don't handle rejection well.2 -

Last week I had a guy approach me at the gas station and ask if he could use my phone because he was having car troubles and his phone battery was dead...he made about a three second call and said he couldn't reach them..later that night he called me back to "thank" me for letting him use my phone and offer to buy me lunch etc..so apparently he called himself from my phone.. lol.
sounds kind of creepy to me! If I want your number, I'll ask you for it... Worst that can happen is you say no.1 -
I give ladies my number when they say cool *kitten* like "C'thulu flows through me the ancient one will rise again az'lak nazulue'ikit raglan wek" or "I'm really into fitness" either one...take my digits1

You'd probably get done for rape or being a sexist pig these days if you asked for a girls number...0

I like be able to chat one on one. Not feeling forced to. Guess doing it naturally.1
