    Fear of rejection is a powerful thing.

    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!

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

    I am WAY too shy and introverted to approach anyone in real life. So no, when I am single I only meet women online. I never approach a woman and ask for her number.

    Would you just take my number already??

    You send it, I will take it lol

    Fear in general is the most powerful thing. Second is greed/pride.

    Both don't handle rejection well.

    Especially when it becomes one's comfort zone.

    Maybe they are afraid of being rejected? 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.

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

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

    The first time a guy asked me for my number when I was younger I was so excited. And he called....wanted to talk to my sister. This thread just made me remember that.

    I would have thrown rocks at both of them
