Knowing how to ask a girl for her number can make any social experience an easier one. There are always those times when the need to ask a girl for her number arises, but the words don't come out right. Due to shyness, a crowded room, or even a few too many drinks, a simple question can seem impossible to some. These are a few simple ways to ask the right girl for her number, and get it.

  1. The first, and most important, factor in asking a girl for her number, and getting it, is confidence. The easiest way to gain confidence is to practice with women. This can be gained by asking women for their phone number every time a new woman is met. Even if the number is not one you plan on using, by asking over and over again, the fear of asking will go away as confidence grows. It is also easier to ask a woman for her phone number if you are not all that interested in the woman or her number.
  2. The second thing to work on is the approach. Remember to smile, and compliment a girl. Just remember not to compliment the girl too much or it will look like you are trying too hard. Another tip for the approach is to remember small talk, making the conversation comfortable between the two of you. Discuss where your at, or the time of year, as long as it gets the conversation flowing.
  3. The third thing to always remember when getting a girls number is not to fear rejection. If you are more worried about her saying no, it will come out in your body language and tone of voice. If this particular girl does not want to give out her number, there will be another girl and another opportunity. Fear will cause a no each and every time, so ask with the confidence that she will give out that number.
  4. The last thing to remember is to pay attention to the flow of the conversation. Once the small talk has been initiated, and the two of you have a good flow of conversation going, find an opening to slip in the question. There will be times when you can use the excuse of another party, or help with a project as to why you need her number. This makes asking a girl for her number more natural, and gives her a reason to say yes instead of no.
