Collymore) Newsgroups: net.singles Subject: Picking up on Women's Signals (Part II): Phone Numbers Message-ID: <886@abnjh.UUCP> Date: Thu, 11-Oct-84 12:18:08 EDT Article-I.D.: abnjh.886 Posted: Thu Oct 11 12:18:08 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 13-Oct-84 06:38:50 EDT Organization: ATTIS, NJ Lines: 21 A point to be considered when asking for a woman's phone number is this: Don't ask for a woman's phone number unless you seriously intend to call her! I have learned that when a woman gives you her phone number, you are getting a very valuable possesion from her. By so doing, she is making her privacy very vulnerable. The giving of a phone number (at least for most women I've met and talked to) is a sign of trust, and also of interest in you. If you do not call her back after receiving her number a woman may be very hurt, or at least disappointed (and maybe insulted). Realize what you're being given here, and what is being communicated. Temper this with courtesy, and consideration for the other's feelings ("Do unto others, as you would have others do unto you."), and you may just find your social life improving. Jim Collymore
