20 May 2008 hmm, came across with this on the internet.
i got my answer here. =) Why Saying "Can I have your number?" To Women SELDOM Gets A Male Phone Numbers Reason #1: It causes the woman's 'hard to get' shield to spring up. Yes it exists... all women have alarms in them where if they hear a 'stale' or cliche phrase, their internal defense uncontollably increases. Sadly, "Can I have your number" is ONE SUCH PHRASE (It's just as alarming as if someone asks you this phrase - "Can you lend me some money?"). So, when women hear that, they usually either say she doesn't give out her number... or she'll get YOUR number instead and never calls. Reason #2: It's easy for women to turn down or give a "No" reply. Look at the way it's phrased - "Can I...?" It makes the person asking it come from a position of "pleading". NOT a position of power. It's no secret that women are drawn to men who can project power, so think about it... how much power does a man exhibit if he seems to be seeking the woman to 'grant' her number to him. Reason #3: The last few guys who TRIED to get her number probably used it. There's no point in coming across as "common". If a woman is of quality, she'll have many guys attempting to get her number. It happens to the extent she form patterns of what makes a guy "common" and what makes a guy "interesting". And when the common guy asks her for her number, she'll think, "There it is again... another dude using that old stupid line." Needless to say, she DOESN'T give away her number to the common bunch. (Why should she? Anything that is common gets neglected EASILY.) 6:38 pm |
