Interesting experience the other day.
I'm writing a 7 page paper and a stranger in my dorm (a very unugly stranger if you were wondering) comes up and starts chatting with me and my friend. Moments before exiting, said stranger writes his number on a page in my notebook. Then, he exits stage left.
Is writing your number down without being prompted a sign of confidence or total presumption?
I'm sure there are girls who do this, too. There are also girls who walk around in micro minis assuming we want to see their not so nice legs and perhaps that offends me even more but, I digress.
There's an art to exchanging phone numbers and it usually only works if it's so discreet and subtle that you don't even realize the motive or it's so blatant that it's endearing and undeniable. Like so many events in life, writing your number down all seductively in an effort to appear uber confident and make the other person swoon only works in the movies. The other person might swoon for a moment (in my case, I did) until they go, "wait. you're totally making an assumption. that's pretty idiotic, don't you think?"
Needless to say, I never called or texted said stranger and also needless to say, said stranger probably never noticed. We will probably go on to lead the lives we were meant to live. He will write his number down for unsuspecting females and I'll continue to well, blog about such incidents on free love. Everyone wins if you ask me.
Love freely,
