The time has come. You’re going to ask for the phone number. How can you increase your chances of success?Most people are reluctant to give out their phone number and for good reason. People have to be cautious with their personal information. Your actions can reassure the person that you’re safe. Simply be sincere and polite during your conversation. Never ask too many personal questions and don’t be pushy. Asking for her phone number is relatively easy and low risk because you have earned a level of her trust, and the probability of actually getting her number is very high.

* Some people hope that the person will offer their phone number to you first. In many cases they don’t. It is not only how much effort you put into a conversation; if you want to get their phone number you just have to ask nicely for it.

* If the person is reluctant to give you them phone number, ask for their email address instead. This allows the person to still protect her privacy but opens the door for contact. You could also reverse the process and give your phone number or email address. Dating experts agree you should wait awhile before calling the person.

* An appropriate amount of time to call is within a few days. This demonstrates that you’re reliable. Be prepared when you call to ask for a date, with a specific time and place in mind. If the person rejects your invitation treat them with respect and don’t be pushy.
