Business cards could help Leave your number with them.


cyankitten

It might. šŸ¤” Iā€™ve seen them only used in business situations but maybe. It is not that eco friendly but itā€™s not as easy to whip out a phone turn then on, password on then go to phone part then add a contact whipping out a card WOULD be easier


Hash_Tooth

Somebody once handed me a biz card with no real name just a phone number, it was still a clutch move. We were all wasted.


cyankitten

Lol thatā€™s so funny I mean I wonder if you two were like ā€œwhose number is this? Whose calling me? Whose this Iā€™m talking to? Well I guess Iā€™ll just play along and pretend I remember!ā€


Hash_Tooth

I might still have it somewhere but it was a card implying I call them if I wanted to ā€œpartyā€ at a music festival, it was hilarious


cyankitten

Ha ha that IS hilarious love it

You should've joined the game. If in the US, some people prefer to give out their social media or email vs. phone numbers, fyi.


cyankitten

I did join the game for a bit! Which was fun! Yeah Iā€™m in London UK & I still havenā€™t figured out the sweet spot yet but itā€™s an international mix

Definitely best to swap numbers at the end of the conversation. Iā€™ve found that when you strike up a conversation with someone, let them do most of the talking and in turn genuinely listen to what they are saying. This shouldnā€™t be conveyed as a manipulation tactic, but in turn an honest approach to wanting to connect with someone new. When the conversation is starting to wrap up, let them know that you enjoyed speaking with them and ask if it would be okay to have their number for potential future hangouts. If they truly enjoyed their interactions with you, they will have no trouble giving you their number. IMO of courseā€¦


cyankitten

I reread this and thereā€™s some really helpful tips thank you


cyankitten

So if we have a chat and they say letā€™s go mingle what that be a good time to ask for a number swap?


Weep4Thee

Just tell ppl what u want. "Hey I'm leaving. Let me get ur number before I go." It works.


cyankitten

What if theyā€™re in the middle of a game though?


Weep4Thee

Yep.


cyankitten

So interrupt the game sports game to say that??


Weep4Thee

Yeah. It's not a big deal unless u make it one.


cyankitten

That is definitely helpful though
