Good on you for not listening to your buddy. Unfortunately he has the mindset of “impress her” you don’t need to wait or impress anybody lol. You just shoot your shot. If anything shooting your shot is impressive.
If it fails, learn from it and move on. You still win either way, because you’re gaining a reference experience.

I wish I used this a week ago. From now on.
[–]RaydenPearce 12 points13 points14 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
We all missed oportunities so don't dwell too much on it. Focus on the "from now on" as you said

Im so old, people dont ask for phone numbers anymore :D Sharing Instagram details is sort of a 4th date kinda deal
[–][deleted] 10 points11 points12 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I’m there with you, man. I’m not a youngster either.
I used to ask for phone numbers, but girls would offer their Snapchat’s. I don’t use SnapChat and IG seems like a better option since everyone seems to use it.

the person not in the vibration can never ration it. The inner man always got the right apprehension n deserves an ear

What a great response.. I like that
[–]BadHoundBay 8 points9 points10 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I normally make an attempt to go for phone numbers instead of social media. Also, you might want to try asking for the date before going for contact info. Ask her nonchalantly if she'd like to continue your interesting/enticing conversation over a drink/coffee/bite to eat sometime. And if she agrees then go for the contact info (phone number preferred). That way, you already have something to talk over text i.e. the impending date, and you can get her schedule for it. Instead of beating around the bush.
But great job man!! You are right, sometimes doubt comes from outside influence and sometimes from within. Good on you to maintain your self belief and a great show of balls to ask her out in front of everyone else!!

That last paragraph was needed, rejection can make things worse.
[–]Joe_Doblow 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
I don’t f with ig so I don’t know how things work but why not ask for her # instead?

I answered this earlier, but in case you didn’t see it:
[–]Joe_Doblow 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Have you ever dated a girl who originally gave you her ig?
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Yeah, twice actually. One last year and one recently, who I’m still in touch with but she lives in another state.
[–]Joe_Doblow 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
How’s your ig? Normal or does it look like your life is the type of life a girl would want to slide into and ride the wave
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
My stories are generally humorous.
My actual pictures are mostly just my current car at various locations and some pictures of me at unique spots. I suppose it could be said anyone viewing my IG would assume/know I like going to places.
I also have a very active social life, so though my follower count isn’t huge (under 190 atm), I know everyone who follows me.
[–]Joe_Doblow 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That’s decent
[–]youareameathead 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I would also like to hear from others about the opposite version of this? I know that in some cases, one might have thoughts on their head that their interaction is going bad, but it actually isn’t. Anyone have examples to share of this?

Your “friend” was jealous. Sorry but often people see and he’s things they want do they hose down your experience. You can overlook-but frankly-he was wrong-your approach was spot on-so trust your gut and be yourself. Getting a lull in a conversation is often inevitable. The way you did it-giving her unneedy space-she was glad you asked later. Your friend sounds needy and jealous. Say nothing but be wary.

Start distancing yourself from this guy and watch how the interactions with him change.
[–]-WolfieMcq 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You’re too close to see it cause you’re uncertain. Expecting a woman to hang with only you when others add to the group isn’t mature and a tight leash isn’t a good idea. Make a note and in the future don’t volunteer much to this guy. See how much he follows through. See if he stays negative no matter what. Red flags need to be seen for what they are. I, a single female, where I have a nice intro to a great guy-and his alleged friend came over to break it to me he’s gay. Secretly. Don’t tell him I told you but he’s gay and just likes to lead girls on. It’s despicable. Even the-he’s married and just trolling bit-cause the alleged friend is jealous. Watch your back. Face your fears. Be kind, mannerly and be yourself. Have fun! You have good instincts. Keep us posted.

Imagine asking for an IG like a 10-year-old autist instead of asking for a number like a normal person
[–]YourNewProphet 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
we are getting old. nowadays people tend to behave like "10-year-old autist" and it is considered normal because majority of society are like that, next generations will be compete degenerates.
[–]ReaganSage22 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Or perhaps it’s the less threatening option since I can block someone who makes me uncomfortable on social media but a lot more information can be found with my phone number
[–]SmelliottSmoGalores 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Wow thank you for sharing that, going forward I will be following your advice.
[–]FlanneryODostoevsky 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Its even more important to remember that when shit dont go right.
[–]Study_Live 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
What if I don’t have an IG
[–]Micah_JM_JP 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You probably should get one. But if you don’t have one just grab her number and text her when you’re ready to set plans.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This sounds like it was a shit test she was pulling on you, and you passed it for sure. I see chicks do this all the time with guys they seem interested in. Its a cold shoulder and a new conversation with the group, but in your view. Shes trying to see if you will let her get away with it. You recaptured her attention, good job.
[–]Perfect_War5446 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
A big mistake you made is that you asked for the IG instead of the number. But other than that, great job
