Those are all excellent points. I forgot about how how making her feel special is a great way to get her attention.

In my experience, I see women attracted to pushy/bossy/insensitive men because they come across as being the most confident.

I can't stand pushiness. I'm not a diva, but I feel that my trust has to be earned. Being told "text me" by a guy would make me raise an eyebrow and go 'really'. Don't expect me to do the pursuing; I won't.

I would actually find it rather sweet if a guy said something like "I see something special in you, and I'd like to get to know you better. May I text you sometime, or would that be creepy?" Extra points if you can say it with an easygoing confidence and a nice smile, combined with just a hint of fear. I always look for the hint of fear. It proves you're not an over-confident jerk ;).

P.S. Don't try to manufacture the fear. If it's not already there, then you probably shouldn't be asking her out in the first place ;)

P.P.S. It's always a good idea to check with The Big Boss before you start dating ANYONE.

Precisely why I didn't just "tell" her. I told her gently.... there's a difference. It's a very fine line and sadly, it's very easy to cross. :rolleyes:

As for checking with the Boss, after praying boldly and confidently, sometimes no answer is an answer in and of itself- and it doesn't always mean 'no'.
 
Just to keep things straight.....

I never suggested that he say, "here's my number, text me."

What I suggested was, "Here's my number. I'm hardly on facebook... so text me instead."


There's a difference.

Oh, okay, I gotcha :). But, just so you'll know, if I got a message like that, I wouldn't have known what you meant, and would have probably ignored it. Just sayin'. :)

Ummmmm, I wasn't pickin' on ya, just so you know. And, I agree, "no" is definitely an answer, and sometimes it just means "not right now". ;)
