I would appreciate a woman doing this because I'm pretty signal blind. If I ask for someone's number and they give it to me I still don't often register inherent meaning to it, it was a nice chat, maybe they want to have another chat? But if she's like "you should fucking ask me for my number" then even I can pick up on that one.

u/AccursedFishwife 15d ago edited 14d ago

Don't worry, most women don't do this. I travel often and enjoy chatting with locals in bars, but it's not cause I'm flirting with them.

When I want to be friends with some of the people I meet while traveling, I ask them for their socials. No yelling involved. OP sounds like a psycho; like, who even demands things of strangers, wtf

u/[deleted] 14d ago

Someone who you've just had a wonderful 3 hours chat with lol. If she wanted to be friends she'd have done as you said in your comment. But doing it the way she did conveys the wanting of something more than just a friend lol

u/Undietaker1 10d ago

Who takes this as she was actually frothing at the mouth yelling at him in pure anger and not lighthearted 'yelling' at him for not asking her number in a playful way.

You're the real psycho here. Learn context.

u/airconditionersound 13d ago

But what if she asked you for your number?

1

u/Alternative-Cod-7630 13d ago

Probably if I'd be ok with it. I've burned through numbers before. It's physically, financially and mentally taxing, but I don't learn, crazy is my thing.

u/slapurmeatonmygrill 15d ago

Coming up and yelling at us is the only clear way to get the message across. Even then we still can’t be sure she’s interested 😂

u/Rough_Maintenance306 15d ago

Is she into you?

93

u/blue-mooner 15d ago

Really no way to tell 🤷🏻

u/Easy-Bake-Oven 15d ago

She could just be Canadian.

u/lonegrey 15d ago

Then she'd be sorry

u/BubbaFettish 15d ago

If she storms back into the bar and yells at you for not asking for her number, you date and eventually get married. Is she into you?

There’s no way to know for sure. She maybe trying to teach you a lesson about how to ask girls for their number. The whole thing still could be an elaborate Gone Girl thing.

u/slapurmeatonmygrill 15d ago

Thank you for the lesson milady, I bid you adieu tips fedora

u/DoubleTheGarlic 15d ago

My wife and I have been married for 3 years, together for 11 total. Do you think she likes me? Still unclear.

13

u/slapurmeatonmygrill 15d ago

Still on the fence

52

u/Q_S2 15d ago

Facts. Especially nowadays. Can't even be courteous without being worried you'll offend someone

5

u/slapurmeatonmygrill 15d ago

Atleast I know that if they’re offended then it’s clear that she’s not into me..or she still is? 💀

u/MrPoisonface 14d ago

oh, now we are tiping to the other side of this coin, "she is definitly in to me"

u/RedditTipiak 15d ago

That and the full legal name "first name middle name last name". Probably transcends cultures.

u/EmeraldEmber- 15d ago

Just pass them a card that says yes or no like an adult

-72

u/LectureTrue4216 15d ago edited 15d ago

Or just ask for their number. Passing cards is what teens do

u/DoubleTheGarlic 15d ago

That's the joke ya loon

u/TheBrit7 15d ago

It's a joke chill lol

It went right over your head, didn't it? r/woooooosh

u/Judithsins 15d ago

just ask him yourself?

u/OpenSourcePenguin 15d ago

Exactly, some BS like this works for only some people especially if they are attractive

u/Sensitive-Reading-93 15d ago

Bruh literally. He probably just thought she is drunk and chatty xd. Like... If you are interested and not afraid just shoot your shot.

-22

u/mrdunderdiver 15d ago

Sounds like she did

45

u/Judithsins 15d ago

no, she didnt. She asked HIM to ask for HER number instead of her just asking him directly for his number. Maybe I wasnt very clear in my initial comment but she didnt, she yelled at him.

-2

u/Loveemuah_3 15d ago

She’s a lady. She wants to be pursued .

u/ruthie-lynn 15d ago

You know because you are him

u/WoopsieDaisies123 15d ago

He knows because he can read the words that she wrote lol

72

u/Constant_Cultural 15d ago

My cousin had a similiar experience. His now wife met him in a group and he didn't ask her for her number. They met by chance later in the same parking lot again. They are together for 20 years, married for 17 years.

137

u/Frostvizen 15d ago

And she never stopped yelling at him

42

u/New-Patience5840 15d ago

Legend has it he now leaves the house regularly to avoid said yelling. But not to that same bar.

12

u/ShivayBodana 15d ago edited 15d ago

Yup she just married him so she can yell at him everyday.

-13

u/Royale_WithCheese_ 15d ago

Probably. If he was dense then, he’s probably still too dense to see that dishes need cleaning, laundry is piling up, child is crying, wife is overwhelmed etc laziness doesn’t change. She approached him and hooked herself to that anchor though. Learn the lesson ladies

19

u/ThisismeCody 15d ago

Who hurt you?

-14

u/Royale_WithCheese_ 15d ago

Common sense. Do you have any other input besides what’s been parroted by common sheep?

12

u/thissongiswhack 15d ago

If people consistently tell you that you’re a nightmare to be around…I guess calling them sheep is a hell of a cop out

-5

u/Royale_WithCheese_ 15d ago

I meant the common sayings that’s all over the internet. Not something that’s constantly being said to me. Your reading comprehension is something else. How does “who hurt you” translate to “nightmare to be around”?

6

u/thissongiswhack 15d ago

I was making what is known as an inference. I saw that you were being needlessly aggressive towards an imaginary person, and when a real person asked the reason for this aggression by using a well known idiom, you responded with further aggression and called them a “common sheep”.

The phrase “common sheep” led me to believe that this kind of backlash is something that you are used to, and that you likely see yourself as being above others. I then made the inference that you are a nightmare to be around.

If you need any further help with your own reading comprehension, please let me know and I will walk you through it.

-2

u/Royale_WithCheese_ 15d ago

Oh look, a Redditor responding like a typical redditor. Yup, you got me good. Least you can feel like you won one thing in life. My charity for the day is done. That’s all wrong but that’s more so your biased interpretation. Let’s see how many similar responses with the same brain cell will respond in the same way

7

u/trumpshouldrap 15d ago edited 15d ago

I'll help. The first commentor said "who hurt you?" pointing out that your first comment is cynical, lacking in substantive proof, and sexist. The second commenter followed up by relaying that such a comment might suggest you're a nightmare to be around. Then you doubled down with the comment I'm replying to ironically demonstrating your own lack of reading comprehension.

In conclusion, you did a bad job in this human interaction you attempted. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

u/Royale_WithCheese_ 15d ago

Thanks autistic Redditor

u/trumpshouldrap 15d ago

You're welcome! Enjoy the crushing loneliness.

u/Royale_WithCheese_ 15d ago

I see you’re projecting. Your crushing loneliness is purely your doing. You know that right?

u/Midnightbitch94 14d ago

I'm interpreting this as hilarious sarcasm. 🤣

u/Glittering_Spirit207 15d ago

Similar experience - met my husband at church. After the program we spoke for roughly 3 hours. I had such a good time talking with him. We said our goodbyes but didn’t exchange numbers. Next day I called up a friend to get his number. The rest is history been married 13 years now 😀

32

u/theaveragemaryjanie 15d ago

I actually like this story better, because less yelling.

u/thirteenth_mang 13d ago

but didn’t exchange numbers. {{this is where the yelling happened}} Next day I called up a friend to get his number. {{oh and here}}

u/CrunchyBonesDaddy 15d ago

Sometimes I think there's something akin to the cat distribution system, but for people, and this feels awfully close to it.

35

u/CartographerOk7579 15d ago

And you’ve been yelling at him ever since…

15

u/LectureTrue4216 15d ago

Why not just ask him yourself?

u/technobrendo 15d ago

You're husband is obviously not an Ace of Bass fan.

u/Salt_E_Dawg 15d ago

Hostage situation?

u/CosbysLongCon24 15d ago

All part of his plan tbh. If you came back he knew he had his hooks in, if you didn’t come back then he knew you weren’t worth anymore of his time. 🤷🏼‍♂️

u/devdruid 15d ago

Never stopped yelling since 🤣

u/bombbodyguard 15d ago

Had to divorce his first wife though, but new wife won in the end…

Did he yell back at you for not giving him yours?

u/gijsyo 15d ago

Childish toxicity.

u/Lex_Orandi 15d ago

Flip the genders of this story and you’ve got a sexual harassment charge. What a time to be alive.

u/bisaccharides 15d ago

She spent 3 hours in a bar and then went to the parking lot? Did she get a DUI that night, too?

u/jaydeflaux 14d ago

If you wanted his phone number, maybe ya shoulda just asked...

u/Sad-Ad-6894 15d ago

Good looking or not, not interested in a girl who can not controll her behavior

u/DiscountEven4703 15d ago

I bet she is loads of fun lol

Read My Mind or I will get angry!!!

u/Fluffy_Heart885 15d ago

You women and your entitlement . What if the guy was in a relationship? What if he was gay? What if he didn’t want a relationship? What if he wasn’t in a position for a relationship? I don’t see this as cute and romantic . I see it as coercive . She stormed back in and yelled at him . If I a man, had a conversation with a woman at a bar , I go in my car , get angry, come storming back in and demand she gives me her number , I’m a creep , a weirdo, and security is tackling me.

Just because someone engages in conversation with you does not mean they want a relationship of any kind. It’s all cute when it ends up this way but what about the times it doesn’t ? What about the times when the signals get crossed and one party doesn’t want any further involvement beyond the conversation? Then one person stalks the other , be it their Facebook page or walking down the street . How many women have been drugged and seriously injured because of such interactions like this? Men too?

It’s just funny when the tables are turned. If a man did this it would be frowned upon, invasive , predatory , can’t take a hint , etc.

u/Kuzkuladaemon 15d ago

There's a girl that works at a Kwik trip in town. We just casually started talking like we've always known each other and it's a delight whenever I see her. I'm married with kids, so will not pursue, but we both feel the weird connection. She definitely has good friend potential but my wife is the jealous type, so I basically don't have any friends.

3

u/worstnameever2 15d ago

My ex wife was jealous and controlling. Gradually made it's way to physical abuse. Lifes much better after the divorce.

u/Kuzkuladaemon 15d ago

Happy for you. Who knows what my future holds.

WHY DO WE MEN!!! almost always need to ask you women out. ITS FUCKING REALLY easy to say if you want to meet again.

Lucky for you you did ask him out but on a strange "lovely" way.

Too late for regret my dear.

Also, wrong place.

Yknow what? I respect that 🤣😭 maybe I'll give it a try

u/lonegrey 15d ago

... meanwhile, if he had, you would've rejected him and posted on social media how all men are scum and are the same.

u/Brief-Pair6391 14d ago

And i wonder if he's ever questioned his decisions and path choices

u/tideshark 14d ago

u/beautifulworld369 13d ago

He really passed the ultimate test handling your rage before the relationship even started. Talk about a trial by fire!

u/HellyOHaint 11d ago

Why get angry and yell? Why not just ask him yourself instead of being mean?

u/RepulsiveAd1092 11d ago

Love it! I'd do that too.

Wow. That is the "You miss 100% of the shots you never take" story of the decade! I'm glad to hear such love exists.
