Asked For Her Number And Didn’t Get The Response You Expected?

Here's the scenario:

You meet a girl in a bar, you talk for a while - she laughs at what you say, you make for an exit as you have to be somewhere, but would like to follow up the conversation - you whip out your phone as to exchange numbers - she looks at you funny and says "sorry, I can't" or "sorry, I've got a boyfriend". Erk...

Why did this happen? Ask yourself the following questions:
Did she look comfortable talking to you in terms of body language?
Did she invest in the interaction conversationally?
Did you make any connection? (i.e. you got to her)
Did she look like she wanted you to leave?
Was she smiling and laughing.
Did she touch you as you spoke?

It all depends on your interaction and you have to hit the key notes.

The idea is that there has to be sufficient ATTRACTION built - she needs to have some sort of memory of you and it being a positive one. (That guy rocks!)

Remember that to get that number (and for it to convert), you have to make sure you leave an impression, you are different from the rest in some way and that you guys are enjoying each other's company. A quick number close may not always convert. Leave an impression.

Here are some tips:

Have interesting things to say - conversational skill is key.
Like anything, if you lack - then practice.
Don't forget to touch her periodically - when she is investing and is having fun.
Be cheeky, remember to smile if you challenge her on anything or playfully argue.
80% of your presentation is your body language - be conscious of what it says.
The 20% of what you say - should be stimulating.
If she says she has a boyfriend - congratulate her! "Well done. That's fantastic. I have a girlfriend too" (Now you are on equal footing).

When you exchange numbers - remember to talk a little more before you head for the door, or back to your people (Don't just leg it!).
