This seems neat for anyone of you trying to get a girl's number: http://www.askmen.com/news/dating/how-to-get-a-girl-s-phone-number-using-math.html

I think it is a good icebreaker as well. And yes the formula works. I tried it with my own number.
Talk to a girl for a while then ask her number because you want to meet up some time. That's my philosophy.

Maybe she'll turn you down, I know. But then she never really wanted you anyway.

I know my technique isn't very high tech and it involves having to deal with rejection, but I think it at least gives you a decent idea of whether or not the girl wants you.

Yeah, parlor tricks will win over a certain type of woman. I'd rather be honest and just ask, "How can I text you?"
The biggest obstacle in dating is ego. We fear rejection when hooking up and when we're in a relationship we think ours is different from everyone else's and different rules apply. Truth is all this is very simple if you're honest with yourself.

So for the first time in three years of living in the US, I experienced something I was used to back home: being addressed by a number of guys by vulgar sexual words. It hit me hard because it was 8 am in a familiar neighborhood on my way to school, and because i didn't expect it. There is a big difference between when you receive "flattering" sexual words, as unwelcome and sometimes painful as they are, and when those words are violent. To me, the difference doesn't come from the flattering-violent distinction though, it's just that i feel extremely diminished and low in the latter case. I was struggling with it back in Iran, that why do i let such a thing make me feel so down and defeated, and i never had an answer, and i still don't.

As in a woman who doesn't mind a good joke? :p I think sometimes we take life too seriously. Personally something like this would make me laugh because 1. It is unique. 2. I tend to have social anxiety so I am a little bit more difficult to talk to than the "regular" woman. My point is, sometimes icebreakers are nice. It does not always have to be so serious all the time. :)

Human beings can be such assholes sometimes. Hoori, this may sound absolutely cliche, but this is a reflection of them and whatever the hell they are struggling with within themselves and has absolutely nothing to do with you. I know it can be hard to shrug off sometimes but as long as you keep saying to yourself, "this is not about me, it is about them," it will eventually stick. I dealt with a very similar situation just yesterday. Some very hurtful words were said to me because the guy was trying really hard to get my attention and could not. I just shook my head and let it slide off. Unfortunately the idiot drove away too quickly because the only thing I would have asked him was if saying that to me made him feel better about himself. You are beautiful and sweet and one of the best women I know, so do not let any moron make you forget that.

I know, what you say is absolutely correct but see this is exactly why i find it strange that I cannot outgrow this felt humiliation.

I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. They probably do it because they know they're low-class shit and this is their way to try to feel superior.

It is not that you cannot. It just that some things take a little more time and some effort. Keep working at it and you will be good to go after a while. I didn't always think like this. When I was younger crap like that would have totally gotten to me so I do understand why you feel that way. It gets better. *hug*

This may be it, though. This could be "the year"

You may have to embrace the inevitability, Abel.

Unless Steve Bartman decides to pay a surprise visit in October, which would be the greatest fucking thing to happen in the history of everything

As in people who don't like you and or have a low opinion of you, i think it's healthy to have such people in one's life

I'm living pretty close to school and in a very safe neighborhood (i have even walked home at midnight). Outside of that I'm hanging out with groups of friends so Philly has been really safe for me in the past three years.

People who don't like me/have low opinion of me haven't made it obvious to me :p I see what you mean but i disagree with you.

It's an emotion. You don't have to control or understand it. You just have to feel it. And given that there is no real reason to feel this way and assuming you don't have deeprooted issues, I'm sure this emotion is going to fade very soon.

Youuu beautiful woman. I wouldn't worry about what some dick has to say.

I've had some hurtful things said to me, even things said behind my back but I learned to shake it off.
