What to Do After You Get Her Phone Number

OK, so you have approached a hot woman at the bar and managed to get her phone number. You might have felt pretty pleased with yourself. But now, what do you next? Do you call immediately, or chill and wait for a couple of days? How soon is too soon, and how late is too late?

The biggest misconception about calling after getting her number...

Guys used to believe that in general they have to wait for at least two days before calling - so that they don't come across as desperate.

Now here's the deal - in this age everything seems to be 'instant' - our attention span has become much shorter. The fact is that if you wait for more than a day or two then most women would think that you have forgotten about them. They will figure that you have lost interest, and they will too, soon after.

So here's what you should do...

You should call her within 24 hours upon getting her number. Look - if she has given you a real number it would mean that she is interested in you - so she won't really think badly of you when you indeed call. In fact, she should be looking forward to it! Trust me on this.

And when you do call...

Ensure that you have already got a few date ideas - don't let her figure out what you want from the phone call.

The call should be short - don't dwell on it too long. Just let her know that you want to touch base and then ask her out. Don't sound over eager, and just be laid back and let the conversation flow. Remember again NOT to linger on too long. Quit when you are ahead.
