How to get a girl’s number. The right one.
I got a slew of prank texts last weekend on my Smart phone and it irritates me. I used to get it all the time in my Globe phone, including lewd calls because I was featured on TV and a national daily (But this is another story.) I really disdain things like these because I feel it’s an invasion of privacy. And I am a very private person. Okay okay, so I have a blog. But I only started one to keep my sanity (or is that too late?)
I’m notorious for not giving my number to just anyone. It dates back to college when I’d give excuses like, my dorm doesn’t have a phone (no cellies then and if you had a pager, you are ubercool and everyone wants to be friends with you), my tita is strict, my aunt’s phone is private.
Fast forward to more recent, double chin existence, my excuses have spawned to “Sorry, this is a business phone.” If the loser persists, “Errr…it’s a communal business phone.” I’d occassionally say I don’t memorize my number (which is true too) or occassionally just ask them to give me their number and I’d text them later. Because if I get my phone out of my miniscule weird bag, everything will fall out. Actually these are true, or at the very least half-truths. If it’s people I think I can be hang out with I’d ring back, or just give my number.
A couple months back though, I had a funny experience. One bloke actually was cheeky enough l to make me prove I gave him the right number. This guy offered to give me his number, got his phone and typed his contact details, email et al. I think I offered to just type it in mine so he didn’t have to pay roaming charges, but he casually said it’s okay. After, he asked me for my number. And texted it in front of me. And waited for it to send! When my phone beeped, I realized what just happened and laughed.
Hahahahaha! This guy’s definitely a player. Either that or a desperado who’s been given lots of wrong numbers. I found out much later his job is in Risk Management. hahaha! I guess he must be pretty good.
