So right before I leave I would say

me :-"Nice to meet you .Do you stay close by? We should meet up sometime"
her-usually a yes/mild agreement
me-"What is your number"

Any improvements on this? How would you close? I've been burnt 3 times in this situation by-'You give me your number' so really need help here.

First, don't say we should meet up sometime. Be more specific, like "Hey there was this Japanese restaurant that made good reviews in the local paper. Some hotshot chef from Tokyo was flown in for this week only to cook. I am gonna go there on Wednesday night around 8." Build it up like any place that your gonna be is the shit and she would love to go. And just end it with "you should go with us"

Secondly don't say "What is your number?" It gives her a chance to say no. Don't give her any opportunity to drop you. What I do and works so many times is go out with a pen and paper. Pull it out and write your name and number on it and then tear the other half of the paper and hand it to her with the pen. Still have your number in your hands. She will always write her number down. I throw in a little "and draw a pic of yourself so I remember who to look for at such and such place" It will make her laugh for a little while and loosen her up. And then trade info. Remember to keep talking after you number closed and don't leave until at least 3 min of rapport building because if you walk away after just the number close she will think that was all you wanted.

A #-close I've used countless times is just saying "I gotta shoot off now, here, put your number in my phone" then I hand my phone to her with the bit to setup a new contact already set up, you need to do this with complete belief that she will comply, no hesitation.

2 slightly softer closes are "I gotta go now, what's the best way to get in touch with you?" put the ball in her court to offer her number over, or a facebook/email it's not the best but like I said it's a softer close. The other would be "I gotta go now, let's exchange info" saying exchange puts you both on the same page, you aren't 'taking' her number from her, it's the other half of the deal for her to get your number. Saying 'info' instead of 'numbers' is another softer approach to this because it's not as strong of a word, and it opens up the possibility of if she doesn't want to give her number she could say "is it ok if I just give you my facebook".

I'd recommend the first 1 over the other 2 everytime but just incase you're in a situation where a softer touch may be needed the other 2 can work well aswell.

You need to be specific with your time bridges.

Also take action to what you're doing you're coming off as needy saying do you want to stay close and saying what is your #.

Take the lead.

It's nice meeting you. Let's grab drinks on such and such date and time, put your # in my phone and then hand your phone to her with it already set up for a new contact entry.

By being specific you are showing that your schedule is not open and your basically saying I have this time open for you.

Makes sense?

Okay, thing is a phone number is everything or nothing. If you pull her phone number out of her hardly she likely to flake you. Although if it seems somewhat natural that shes at least a bit attracted or stuff shell give it to ya.

Tyler Durden says: Hey, gimme your number, maybe well hang out sometime.

or: Hey, I think your cool, lets do something in the future

Although its better if you have got some common intrests you have told her before, something like she likes art, hiking, animals or stuff. Thats what you get in the comfort phase and afterwards you can refer to it.
