Is it normal that I have never had a guy ask for my number before?

  • Please point out which clause of the Rules of the Universe states that all reasonably attractive women are entitled to be approached by at least one man and asked for their telephone number by the time they are 22 years old.

    In all my years (which total nearly three times yours), I never once asked a woman for her phone number. Like DeeJay, the possibility of being told to piss off always weighed much heavier than the possibility of getting a positive response. If a woman wasn't very obviously interested in me, I just could not be bothered to go through the whole tedious mating ritual

    If I was your age now and wanted to get to know a woman better, I'd be even more wary, since I'd assume that not only would I be told to piss off, an accusation of sexual harassment would be lobbed my way.

    The fact you haven't been asked for your number simply means that none of the men in the the subset of men you have encountered have felt like asking you for your number. It doesn't prove you're ugly or unappealing in some subtle way. It doesn't prove you encounter only men who are pathetically shy losers.

    Do you have any male friends whose judgement and honesty you respect? If so, maybe you could ask them why you're never approached?

    In any case, what's this really about? Are you craving validation by strangers, or do you just want to have a man in your life?

    If the latter, those cosmic rules don't prohibit you from striking up a conversation with an unknown guy who you find attractive and intriguing.
