Clozer I enjoy reading your post and just wonder if you could go more in depth about the opening and what is being said after the opening to get her interested enough for the number close. How do you know when its time for the number close.
Thanks mchende. I recommend a lead in question before the number close. And I never ask for the girls number. I always say something like, "Here, send me your phone data" or "Give me your number."
My lead in questions might go as such:
- Do you have any foreign friends here in {city}?
- Do you want to practice English?
- Sorry, I'm in a hurry. My friend is waiting for me. I have to go now, but if you happen to think of a place where I can ???, can you send me a text? (??? is something you asked her about in the opener. After opening you go into personal conversation and then come back to opener theme, then lead in question and then number close)
Simple lead in:
- (pull out your phone) so do you have ??? too? (??? is your phone server)
- You look like an ??? girl
- (pull out phone) I have a ???
- Do you have infra-red send on your phone?
Number close:
- Send me your data
- Here, put your number in here.
- Okay, zero NINE zero... zero EIGHT zero (I start guessing the first three digits of the number which are either 090 or 080 here in Japan for all cell phones)
Point:
-Complex lead in gives a reason why she wants to give you her number.
- Simple lead in just jumps straight into the unrelated topic of what phone server you use.
- Before lead in you can give a time restraint: "I have to get going because...."
- Never ask for her number. Command it in a natural way. Be dominant. Don't be submissive and unsure about what you want to do.
