Thought it's a good idea to approach conversations with people you're attracted to without hesitation, there is such a thing as being too forward. When you want someone's number, don't let the very first words out of your mouth be, "Can I have your number?" To some (misguided) people, being this up-front is a way to demonstrate extreme confidence. However, to most, this simply appears bizarre. Unless you're an expert player or you're trying to experiment or challenge yourself, you'll probably have better luck with a more conventional approach. No matter how smooth and confident you are, rejection is always a possibility — even if absolutely everyone you talk to finds you irresistible, some will still be "taken!" Because you won't get the number you're looking for all (or even most) of the time, it's best to keep your expectations in check. Try not to worry about whether you'll get a number when you start talking to someone you're attracted to. Instead, focus on enjoying yourself, listening to your conversation partner, and making a connection with a new person. This way, if you do choose to ask for a number at the end of your conversation, you won't have any reason to be disappointed even if you get rejected — you still accomplished most of what you set out to do! Asking for a number is something you should do at the end of conversations that go well — not ones that don't go so well. If your conversation turns awkward for some reason (like, for instance, if you accidentally offend the person you're talking to) don't try to salvage it by asking for a number. Instead, either gracefully excuse yourself and end the conversation, or, if you really want the number, keep talking and try to repair the damage you've done before you ask. There's nothing worse than asking someone who's clearly uncomfortable for their number, so try to spare yourself (and your conversation partner) from this unfortunate outcome. As noted above, there are a variety of reasons (good and bad) why someone might decline to give you their number. If you feel the sting of rejection, don't take things out on the person who's rejected you. This person was never under any obligation to share their number, so no matter how lively your conversation was, it's not "wrong" of them to withhold their number when you ask for it if they want to. Reacting with anger or acting mopey after someone has refused to give you their number is always a bad idea — it can make you look petty, vain, and entitled under the best of circumstances, so just don't do it. Below are just a few perfectly legitimate reasons why someone may not want to share their number (there are obviously many more):  Being in a serious relationship Having just gotten out of a serious relationship Not being comfortable giving their phone number to strangers Not looking for romantic opportunities Not being as attracted to you as you are to them
