I love to run. It is a great way to get in shape and enjoy the outdoors. It is also one of the best ways to get numbers. A lot of numbers.

See, when I am running I have an excuse to leave early. I also demonstrate value to the girl because I am a runner. Oftentimes I am running, I see a woman, I stop and say something along the lines of "Hey I am going on a run right now but had to stop because you are really cute. Do you have a phone number?" Aghast that I took the time and effort to stop my run just to approach them, I gain extra points when going in for the ask.

On long runs I have gotten literally a dozen numbers. Now of course not all of them respond back, but those that do I have had meaningful dates with. In fact I have found next to no correlation with the amount of time I spend before asking a girl and getting her number. The best thing is if she says no it is not like I have anything invested in this girl, I simply continue my run.

Be sure to run. It is great exercise and a fantastic way to rack up a lot of numbers.
