This is kind of silly, because it is over and done with, but asking anyway.........
Last week I was out to dinner with my cousin (female) and a group of 4 older men, a woman, a little girl and a very good looking man (to me anyway) walked in the restaurant. The good looking guy smiled at me when I looked over at him and then a couple minutes later I looked over and he was looking at me and smiling. He was definitely not with the woman, as she was with another of the men, and I believe the little girl was theirs. Anyway I had the thought of somehow giving him my number, but how awkward......
Anyway, after the fact, my cousin said I should have written my number and given it to him....if he didn't call....nothing lost....nothing ventured, nothing gained.............
So, is it too weird?

Is it weird to give your number to someone who was checking you out? Um, did you really just ask that?0

So? People aren't allowed to give away numbers in restaurants? Doesn't matter where it is, except a funeral maybe.Is it weird to give your number to someone who was checking you out? Um, did you really just ask that?

You have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain in this situation. I've done it to waitresses a few times.. unfortunately, I never got any calls.0

You should've given him your number!! Not weird at all to give out your number at a restaurant!0
-
If you knew for sure he was not with someone whether if he is with people or not at a restaurant, movie theater, bar, grocery store, gym, or where ever, then you should have gave it a chance. if you really felt you should have gave him your number, then you should have gave him your number.

I probably wouldnt have - because I am not there with myself yet to feel comfortable doing that. But sure why not? If he was checking you out - I would say go for it!0

Honestly, I'm more in the camp of people actually talking to each other before offering a number. I'm not a fan of women approaching men but if you wanted to, rather than just approaching him, I would have gone up to him and started a conversation and then if it seemed right, you could offer. I don't know how from just smiling at someone you know you like him enough to offer your number. I might look at someone and say "hmm, they look nice," but you don't know until you actually speak with them!0 -
Sounds great but I wouldn't do it. Fear of rejection I suppose but if I can't tell an online friend I'm interested I sure can't tell a stranger. Of course I've also been single a long while so clearly my plan works ( she says sarcastically). I'm finally just NOW not just staring at my beer and peeling the label when I'm out. I'm still working on eye contact... Phone numbers seem a long way off!0

So? Unless it was on the pisser, it's fair game.
I've gotten a number from a girl at a restaurant before. Her and her mom were outside eating, she gave it when they walked by. yes, I called her.0 -

No, best time mate, everyone is vulnerable. Makes perfect sense :laugh:0 -
Awwww MAN, I WISH I gave my number to a guy a couple weeks ago. But I got all shy and pathetic and ran out the door :blushing:
I totally agree with everyone else, NOTHING to lose. The worst that can happen is that he doesnt ring. But what if he does!!! :flowerforyou:0 -
My answer to the question "Would you?" is always yes, unless it involves jumping out of a perfectly good airplane or going onto fear factor and eating animal genitalia. Because those two things are just natural.0

I agree with this actually. I think you should attempt to talk to the person, at least even a little to "assess" them. You can tell a lot more than you think in 30s.

Although it kinda proves the point that in life, despite all the BS you hear everyday, you'd better be attractive full stop. Did you know that attractive people are perceived as kind and intelligent?

Maybe he was a complete moron... But hey, at least he was good looking one.
PS: Funny parallel with "online dating" where people are crapping themselves at the idea of giving their number (never give your number before 2 weeks blah blah), but here, in a restaurant to a total stranger, it becomes fine!0 -
As a man, I would love for something like that to happen! :flowerforyou:0

Didn't you see Wedding Crashers? Funeral crashing is the future!

I think it would have been fine but I have never worked up the balls to do it. lol0

There used to be this guy that I saw every morning on the subway. He was adorable. Every time we saw each other we'd just smile. never said much. One morning, he was sleeping when I got on the train. I slipped a lil note signed with my full name into his suit pocket. Unfortunately, the next day my job moved out of state and I never took that train to work again.
sigh. I miss my train boyfriend.0
