    I find that mostly weird dudes have the confidence/gall to ask for my number. Kind of annoying.

    I met someone on New Years eve and was shocked. It was the first time I have organically met someone I like in real life and not online in a very long time.

    I had a guy in K-Mart last summer make conversation with me while we waited in line. Attractive, my age, and specifically started a convo with me. He even took his time putting his receipt away like he was waiting for me to get done checking out, but then he left. :( I felt like I was being punk'd. It's so odd for that to happen anymore. Now every time I go in there I look for my mystery man.

    I know. I've had that happen as well...like, wow this is going so well. He's so cute. K, bye.

    It was so odd and sad.

    Write a Missed Connection on craigslist. If anything you can have fun reading responses :)

    that's because there is a big jump between small talk in a check-out line to something further.

    what would you wanted for him to say?

    I believe with the plethora of social networks and dating sites, men just don't approach women as much anymore to get their 'digits'. Has anyone else noticed this ?

    You mean like, 36-24-34? Those digits?

    Nothing. I agree with you. I have no expectations ever.

    no really, it's a fair question.

    waiting for you in the parking lot = creepy

    right?

    I dont have the guts to ask for their number. I prefer the curl up in a ball and cry myself to sleep every night option


    This is why you need to buy the cutest puppy and let him do the work! Lol. Also make sure to attach a brownie to him and put a shirt on that says "are you my new mommy?" I'm just saying lol

    Man, if I didn't have that pesky wife when my kids were babies, I would have been getting all the phone numbers. But nooooo, she wouldn't let me date. lol

    Dude, you're doing it wrong. You're not supposed to ask permission, you do it on the down low :D

    Where were you 20 years ago to inform me of the procedure?????

    I was in my 20's and too innocent to know all this good info.

    Ive never had an issue with guys asking for my number.. Granted it was never for "dating" purposes.. just gaming.. or relationship advice from someone who doesnt date.. poor confused guys.
