Default Lets see how subtle you lot are (getting a phone number)

Ok, I'll probably regret asking this on here, but it should be a giggle tomorrow.

How would you subtly get someones phone number when their at work?

Senario is, they work in a Tesco local, so its faily busy and a colleague is always within earshot.

Randomly stab at the keypad until you chance upon the right number

Scoose me missus, I seem to have dropped my phone somewhere in the shop, can you phone it with your mobile so I can scout around and look for it? Meanwhile fone is safely tucked in your pocket on silent, but you run around the shop like a headless Rat pretending to look for it, then you run up to her shouting 'Thanx for that I found it, I'm in a hurry at the moment but I repay the favour sometime soon! By the way you have fantastic ****, thanx again!!' Sorted!!

I see you have adapted your "I've accidentally dropped my pen-while the girl in the short skirt bends over the freezer routine" which you were telling me about a few weeks ago

Just ask her for it, if she's a nice, polite girl but doesn't like you she'll give you her number but will change a digit so you'll not lose face in front of her

If you are after the phone number to get closer to the person, you know, invite out etc for a drink then just ask. Look confident and smart when you do ask though. No point trying to woo her via text's when she doesnt know who it is

Or just write your number down and give it to her, if it's going to be tricky to get hers. She may not want to be seen fraternising with customers anyway, I'm not sure on Tesco's policy regarding this kind of thing but I can't imagine they would be too happy.

Quick way of not getting a date = getting her a bollocking at work.

Just ask her, but be subtle about it. Has she given you any buying signals or do you think she is just being polite and friendly as part of her job?

Just say to her "If I was to ask you for your phone number what do you think your response would be?". Then, if she says no you can say "OK, I won't ask then"

Surely all you need to do is to be honest. When she knows you are interested then just ask.

That happened to me once when I was 17-18. Nice lass (outa my leaque though) gave me her number but swapped the last 2 digits around. Rang it up and nearly arranged a date with some old goat. I assumed she had a sore throat

If they sell flowers you could always write you number on the gift tag thats comes with them. Then pay for them and just walk away, when shes says "you forgot your flowers," say "there for you."

Cheesy, but she might be into that stuff.

Surely it is more manly to just ask the girl? that will show confidence & you aren't afraid to take a chance. Dating is a numbers game, the more times you ask for the number the odds will get better.

Be straight & direct - except when following Tam's advice on uphill gardening

Give her your number. She might think you're a stalker if you ask for hers.

Good idea, only prob is your limited to girls that work in florists or flower selling places
On a plus point, quite often the ones that work in flower shops are pretty

It did work though

I know how this love story ends.




With a lifetime ban from Tesco and a restraining order.
