Just a question for the singles out there your in a supermarket or walking down the street a guy walks up to you out of the blue and asks for your phone number would you give it to him

Mr. Incognito

Is this a relationship issue or a hypothetical situation?

Have asked a girl out that was distributing flyers before and she said yes so it does happen.

Definitely not.

There's direct, and then there's 'giving your private contact details to a total stranger'.

not if he just walked up to me and out of absolutely nowhere asked me for my number. I'd think that was wierd. There would have to be some chat or banter first, some indication that you get on and you're not a total weirdo. If it looked like you were just going around to random women fishing for dates with a scatter-gun approach, it wouldn't make me feel very special, just probably unnerved!

. Plus you'd be better off offering your number for her to contact you. No sane woman is going to give her contact details to a complete stranger who barrels up to her out of nowhere asking for them!:D

Not a chance. A total stranger who could be a total creep/stalker/axe murderer wants my number? Nooooo

Op out of interest why would you ask a total stranger for their number? She could be a horrible person!! I gather from your posts your recently out of a relationship, maybe take things slowly rather than rushing into something with a "anyone will do" attitude. Try to value yourself enough to wait for someone good enough for you.

@conor8989 - Can you explain how this is a Personal/Relationship Issue for you? This forum is not really for general type discussions

No, I wouldn't give my number to a randomer. Better approach is to give your number instead.

Tbh, you seem really creepy you've hit on 3 women on boards in the last few days. This whole anyone will do attitude is definetly not attractive. Women can feel that sh!t

No! It happened to me years ago in a shop and it freaked me out. It's a terrible idea that might work fine in a Hollywood romcom. Not in your local Lidl.

It's a no from me. I'd actually maybe be mildly insulted that they'd skip to that without even attempting to start conversation first. It just comes across as being very shallow. And a tad creepy!

Would have no problem with a guy starting conversation with me when out and about, but I'm not just going to hand my number over to someone in the street like that ... if he wanted to chat to me, why not just do it there and then?

Depends on the person who approaches.
I don't think it's any different to swiping on tinder.

It happened me once a guy was cycling and stopped and I said no thanks. He was American so it's probably something that is more commonly done.

Another time a bloke from a couple of years above me in school who I didn't know but not a stranger I suppose. I said yes because I couldn't say no to his face (I know im a wimp but his mates were there) and then I cancelled date privately.

another time man approached as I was leaving a restaurant with some friends and I just said "sure why not". Went on the date and he obsessively talked about his ex who he said he was still in love with. I told him i didnt want to see him again, enjoyed the date but was busy with college when he asked me out again. I just left it at that but continued to receive text messages from him for about a year, some aggressive, affectionate and others were updates on what he was doing with his life. I never responded to any of them.

That's my experience of it. Each time I suppose I was initially flattered and I thought it takes a lot of courage to do that but also a bit taken back and felt a bit put on the spot.

If you are going to do that Connor though I would say you have to be confident. However you have to be certain that you can pull off confident/cool because if you get it wrong it might come off as overbearing/creepy or nervous/needy.

I'm closing this thread as it is in no way a Personal Issue. I also suggest you read the charter in full before posting anywhere in PI/RI again Conor. There has been a flurry of unhelpful, irrelevant and nonsensical posts from you today so unless you have something constructive to post please don't bother.
