what's the best reply to "why do you want my number?"

Anything that doesn't imply you want to bang them, or overtly implies this.

So ranging from "I know some kids who need a grandmotherly figure to bake cookies for them, I'll give you a call to coordinate"

to

"How do you expect me to spend a night railing you otherwise?"

I do not know the ideal answer, but I can give you mine.

"Because I would like to find out whether I want to sleep with you".

Now, you have to be able to back that up, because you are now inevitably going to have an interesting conversation, but the idea is that if she is interested she will be like "oh...." and if she is not, well, glad we cut through the BS so quickly.

I am not sure if I would recommend this to anyone else though, you have to truly mean it.

if they say that you are asking wrong. you need to stop appealing to their brain (with conversation lol how bout that weather we're having M'lady" and start appealing to her clitoris. Start getting touchy and feely from the get-go. turn her brain off and get her wet right away. start making out or something. then go to her place or yours. the number part will be really easy then

I would say the best way, or at least what's working for me, is don't ask.

Lead them into it, make them offer you their number. I've done this a couple of times now and it's worked well. If you can make a good enough impression, make SURE you establish contact, even if it's arm contact or putting your hand on their lower back while walking them somewhere, that's a good half the battle right there.

Then when it comes to the crunch, make out like you haven't really considered numbers. They will offer it if they like you. And you've also established a dominant position.

The two times I did ask for numbers well... I got them, and they both flaked on me.

"Do you always ask dumb questions?"

facial expression like someone just told me a stupid unfunny knock knock joke. "why do you think I want your number?"

aguy01 · 2014-05-02T00:38:26+00:00

I've always gone with "Why do you think I want your number?"

"Depends; do you swallow or spit?"

I don't ask for numbers.

I manipulate a girl's emotional state so that she volunteers her number, or asks me for mine.

"so we can continue this conversation at a later date / over the phone"

/while giving them "fuck me" eyes

Your non-verbal response is way more important than your verbal response. I might even respond with just the look.. that look that says we BOTH know why I want that number.
