I was in Tesco earlier and I found out that one of my former co-workers is leaving on friday. I would like to stay in touch with her, but I don't know how to give her my phone number without giving out the wrong impression (i.e. I like her) I'm not interested in a romantic relationship with her, but i'm afraid if I give her my number, she'll take it the wrong way and stop talking to me altogether! I have until friday. Help! |

Don't make me use my bare hands on you.

Is she not mature enough for you to say "hey, I enjoy our friendship, let's stay in touch. Here's my number." without presuming that you have alterior motives? |

It's a catch 22. No one has ever been able to pull that sort of thing off in the history of man. I sugest you put it to rest and try not to think about it again. |

Apparently we look like this now

Try something along these lines... "Hey...Heres my phone number. Give me a call sometime, if you'd like to grab a bite to eat, or something." Just leave it at that. Thats innocent, yet point blank. Hit or miss, and thats all you can hope for. Dont try to take the conversation any further unless she does. |

Why would she be offended by you giving her your number ? And if you want to see her again sometime why wouldn't you maybe be interested in a little romance ? She might be. I say go for it. The worst that can happen is that she'll laugh in your face, thus mutilating what's left of your male ego like a soggy slug under a boot, your life and self-image destroyed, forever spending life as a hermit in the jungles of the Amazon..... Oh, sorry, maybe that was a little dramatic. (she'll likely be impressed by your gesture; I put ten bucks U.S. up that she'll call you within the week) |

Just think how you'd be feeling on Saturday if you didn't try. Don't be concerned about impressions Just do it.

Tell her you are gay first, then she will naturally assume your intentions aren't sexual

Well, she might well be, but i'm not. There is someone else I like, but even though nothing is likely to ever come of that it wouldn't be fair on the other person.
That might work, but then again I think I make an arse of myself on the phone to you! :lol: Thanks guys! |
