Is it flattering or creepy?

[chronomic]

To get a girls number from someone else?

I've had good and bad experiences with doing this but haven't done it since highschool, so I feel like we're too "mature" to be pulling stuff like this any more.

yeah?

[MarsEatWorld]

just ask her...

[Montauk1222]

You should probably just outright ask the girl for her number, might weird her out other wise

[more heart]

yeah if someone called me up saying they got my nimber i'd be creeped out

[SingleDoubt]

i think its fine. go for it

[googirl8907]

Creepy. If you want her number, just ask her for it.

[desiguerilla]

i dont see how itd ever be flattering but as far as creepiness or not it depends on the context

if u need to reach a girl to ask her a non-romantically related question or if its an emergency or somethin like that and you kno that one of yur friends has her number, i dont see it is as creepy

but if u straight up call her to ask her out, shed probable be a lil sketched

[Smeee]

I think it probably depends on the circumstances. If its someone you see all the time, then you really should ask her yourself...

[.invisible ink.]

it depends. Has she met you before, like you've had at least one really good, long conversation? If so, and she seemed interested, it's not that big of a deal. If not, no way, that's super creepy.

It also depends on how you look. If you're reasonably attractive, it's not a big deal. If you're kinda gross (no offense, just being real), well, she should probably be the one giving you her #, just in case.

[amysaurus]

It creeps me out when people call me and I have no idea how they got my number. You should just ask her for it yourself to avoid any possible creepy/awkward situations.

[jagermeister]

Ask for the number if you're interested in her. She'll know you're a real man and not some pussy asking for dating tips online. Plus, you are not a bad looking guy (no homo) so its not like she'll think "Ew this fucking kid is asking me out" or something else a girl would say.

[chronomic]

haha you guys rule. and yes if I ever see her again I will ask for the number no doubt. but that's the problem... there's a very good chance I won't see her again. Unless I creep her number.

oh the joy of being young

[wewascontenders]

if someone got my number through a friend i'd be fine with it. if i asked a friend for someone else's number i'd feel creepy.

[swt_catastrophe]

personally, i'd be creeped out. i had this happen last semester, and it was sketch [to say the least]
if you're not gonna see her again, why didn't you get it from her originally?

[robat19]

just snatch her phone next time shes near you and get her number off of it

[swt_catastrophe]

creeps mcgee!

cosmo says, cute alternative: put your number in HER phone with a cute msg/name/something to remember you by.

[samsara]

Ive gotten guys numbers like that but they are all just friends.

[jagermeister]

Cosmo is usually correct. Go with that.

[lauren<3s music]

wait it out a few more days and if you don't see her text her or facebook/email and just say you wanted to go out with her for coffee but didn't have a chance to get her number before she left and you really wanted the chance to ask her out. if you're not sketchtastic about it you'll have a good shot.

[Heart-A-Tact]

creeps mcgee!

I am going to try this.

[lauren<3s music]

only if she hasn't been drinking...

[TK]

I don't know how getting random calls from people I've never met would be creepy...

[dissident]

it's creepy.

[kaycey]

i think you should kidnap her.

[TalkShowsOnMute]

i think you should kidnap her.

i think this caught me off guard cuz i lol'd

[Gumbyjag]

won't make a difference as long as you make something happen.

[showbiz]

i think you should kidnap her.

This made me lol

sorry, but that's super creeps mcgee-ish (?) to do. Plus, you will always wonder if she ever saw it if you never get that call from her.

[thespearkid]

Ask her.

[Kassie09]

I'd be like "Umm how did you get my number?' and be initially creeped out.

[fulltiltxb00gie]

this has happened to me. it's better to get it from her but it shows her that you're interested in her but kinda shy so it gets you points. but i can be seen as creepy if you don't act cute about it. just approach it the right way..however you do that.

[djUbilla]

I did this once last year. It's all about circumstances. I had run into the girl a whole lot at parties and we definitely had a rapport. I made sure to ask her best friend for it, and I didn't call her until I was sure her friend had told her I asked and before it looked like I was thinking about it too hard.

We never worked out, but we hung out more than a few times, and the "weirdness" of it never came up. Again, though, I can name dozens of times that I wished I had asked for a girls number but let it go because obtaining it any other way would have been creepy.

Homeboy's lookin for a phone number, how's he gonna text her with no number?

im saying get her number from the friend but rather be the creepy guy who calls and leaves an awkward voicemail, text her that way its much less stalkerish

Yeah when you put it that way that's what I'd do. Then again I'd never have the courage to call a girl out of the blue anyways haha.


On this topic...now that I'm a junior in college I'm probably too old to IM a girl on AIM after getting her screenname off facebook?

how do you know said girl?

[wroteurname]

how do you know said girl?
Had a few classes together, we've talked.

Facebook chat with her. During the facebook chat ask her if she has AIM. And then start talking on AIM.

Facebook chat is wierdddddd. I like the concept of your plan though. Like, we talked a lot in one of our classes, sat two seats apart in another and never spoke. I figure our interaction to this point has been wierd enough that I can be like "hey, this Greg, whatsup".

yeah?

It depends, but I think that in most cases a person, especially a girl, would just get creeped out or pissed off. Hahaha. Maybe if she hit on you before and you kind of blew her off but changed your mind and got her number from one of her friends. But how often does that happen?

[AP_Punk]

totally creepy.

go for it.

[kaycey]

This made me lol
:bow:

[fadedmemories]

Don't forget to look for n00dz.

[MarsEatWorld]

Don't forget to look for n00dz.
oh gross.

[Juniper Skies]

Along with the majority, I'd prefer if someone asked me outright.

Normally I don't accept calls on my cell phone or home phone if I don't reconize the number.

[Mxbaby511]

In person is much better...
I'd be freaked out as to how the guy got my number.

[Willy McFurgle]

Use the number to call her up and ask her for her digits...

[Mxbaby511]

Use the number to call her up and ask her for her digits...

This.
XD

[framebyframe]

I would be kind of flattered ... maybe I'm just a weirdo. As long as you don't do it in a creepy way.

[mayhamandeggs]

Exactly, but how would one know what is welcome and what is not? It's probably best just not to do that to some girl you barely know or talk to.

[framebyframe]

Yeah this is true. Let's be honest though, it would only be creepy if you were ugly. Sad, but true.

[Posthardcore]

Very

[.invisible ink.]

Yeah this is true. Let's be honest though, it would only be creepy if you were ugly. Sad, but true.

I'm glad someone else agrees with me. It's just the way the world works unfortunately.

[mayhamandeggs]

Absolutely. That's the way it goes. Pretty people can get away with being brash and direct, and, while I'm not completely repulsive, I'm not universally attractive by any means so I take a more roundabout approach to coming on to a girl I like; I will be subtle in the way that I hit on her by just being myself, and if she digs it she digs it. They usually let you know if they really are into you.

[m_rue]

It's not really creepy but kinda lame... like I would want the guy to have the confidence to get the number from me himself.

Tangent: There's seriously nothing that annoys me more than guys who don't have the spine to close the deal. /bitter

[spansen]

i don't see a big deal in it.. it doesn't matter how things start out, really. i usually don't ask how people get my number when they get a hold of me for the first time-- because, quite frankly my dear.. i just don't give a damn.

ha

You are a sad and desperate young man. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. I KEED, I keed.

Hm... I wonder...

[acfrue]

oh, its creepy alright.

[asphyxiadreams]

its fine.

ha

that is literally the first thing i think when someone i don't know very well calls me, "who the fuck gave you my number?"

[spansen]

that didn't make much sense, then, in referencing my post?...

but, as long as i know the individual i don't care how they get my number.

[dissident]

what i meant was if i don't recall giving you my number, i'm usually curious/annoyed as to how you got it regardless of the person calling. it's a pet peeve of mine.

[spansen]

ah. well you're just weird, then! ha

[dissident]

ha yeah i know. i rarely answer the phone anyway, i just text.

[spansen]

i'm not one of those guys.. i only prefer texting over calling if all i have is a question.. but i'd prefer a phone call.

i know i know, i'm a dying breed.

[dissident]

i used to feel the same way, but slowly i changed. phone calls are only worth it if you have a good story to tell me or an important question that needs answered right way

[spansen]

yuh. well.. i prefer noise to letters.

[dropdead_julia]

Not when it's creepy new guys at work that get your number off of the list on the wall near the phone in your Boss' office.


esp when they call you and ask to hang out when you have ZERO intensions on ever seeing them outside of work.

[parallelism]

It depends on whether or not you're attractive.

If you're attractive, a girl will be flattered and excited by the fact that you lurked to get her phone number. If you're not attractive, she'll be extra creeped out by you. People might try to say I'm wrong. I'm not.

[andrew4045]
