Girl thread get in here now

[caravel]

I have no idea, from your description, whether you were too forward or not... it's not about when you ask for a girl's number, it's how you ask for it and in what context - i.e. you need to be getting the right signals, otherwise... I don't think you did anything wrong, but I think you should back off a bit now and see what comes of it. If you do bump into her again, don't mention the number, just talk as you did before and try to take it from there. You will soon get the idea if she's avoiding you.

This is obviously a summary of your current woes, from your perspective:

So I've put myself in a situation where I have no income, no independence, no friends, and generally living in a world I'm not really a part of, and with little prospect of change.

And perhaps that's the general vibe you give off to others?

Instead of bemoaning your lot - find a job, any job (within reason), save some money, make some plans, give yourself something to plan for and look forward to, get some goals to aim for. Walk before you can run.

Screw the whole gimme-your-number thing.

Be decisive. Ask her if she wants to go have coffee, catch a show, do some Bible study, go shopping for shoes or -- I'm not kidding here -- go get pedicures (while emphasizing you are not gay). The number thing only adds a hurdle and another step in the process. If she agrees to any of the above, then you set a time and day and then get her number. If she doesn't know or has other plans, then ask for her number and get a raincheck.

Don't be scared to ask her to cut the BS and just say NO if she isn't interested (see Papes post about exams above) but find a way to do it so you don't come off as desperate or an egghead (do it jokingly).

And do not, under any circumstances, try to be her best friend first, IE "lets just be pals and hang out" because rarely does being BFFs translate into a romantic relationship and it only sets you up for months if not years of being strung along. Been there done that, got the tattoo.

What religion is this church if I may inquire??

I'm an angry young man. What am I supposed to do?

Masturbate, cry and go to the gym like the rest of us.

Yeah, you messed up big time. You should have asked "Hey woman! You want to take your shoes off, come down to my house and make me a sandwich?"
If she says know, just pull out your club, knock her over the head, and drag her into your kitchen.
I hope I have been helpful. :)

Just tell her that if a man does not ejaculate at least once a day, his risk of prostate cancer goes up tremendously. Doesn't she want people to get good healthcare?

On a happier note than the rest of this thread, I have a job interview today so here's hoping all goes well.
