Is It Polite To Ask For A Man/woman's Contact Info In First Meet? by ilovelagos: 6:43pm On Oct 22, 2011
Is it polite to ask for a man/woman's contact info in first meet?
If it is ok, how would you start?
If you have been asked about it and you do not want to tell, how will you refuse?

you are not specific here.
If it's biz,ask. >> exchange cards or write down
If its a complete stranger, no thanks>> Walk away as fast as I can
If its somebody am eyeing, well courtesy demands that I do so.>>get to know their names first, buy them coffee and pick it from there.

Now your last question is funny. If you don't fancy the person just tell them No, I do not share private contacts unless we have something going on.

. This is the right Advice for every Nigerian Girl and Woman. But the "desperate for relationship" hordes will never accept such a wise advice. They can even give their numbers to monkeys in a tuxedo.

Wrong? Impolite? Selfish?   Worrahell?

Why shouldn't they ask for your number if they want to?  

They randomly meet you in a random place; find you attractive; want to know more about you and ask for your phone number (because odds are they will never see you again).

What exactly is selfish and Impolite about that?

If you ain't "feeling" the guy, then you can choose not to give him your number, but if you are liking what you see then why the long thing?

Too much effizy jo abeg----  grin

Awwww,

Babe mi.

I like this ur new picture ooo. So cute. Fyne gal no wrinkles  grin

@ Poster. Nothing wrong with asking, however it all depends on the "askee." What I'm saying is the askee would be the one to determine if this is an offensive request or not. I guess there's only one way to find out  smiley

I dunno about it being polite or not, but it's a turn off for some of us.

Many have been rejected for this reason.
I have to be really attracted to you at first sight not to say 'No' to your request.
There's time for everything. . . .After some Hi-s, smiles, meetings and repeated exchange of pleasantries, the time might just be right.

This isnt even a question of being rude/polite.my giving out my no on a first meet depends on who's asking and the style/method of asking.
we must have had at least a two minute convo in which i would have done my own lil assessment of your person.If i dig you and you sound sensible,you'll have it.
If i dont,then NO!

1. Is it polite to ask for a man/woman's contact info in first meet?
Answer: It is neither polite nor impolite, it's a simple case of a simple question being asked.The onus rests on the person the question is directed to, to answer it or ignore it.

2. If it is ok, how would you start?
Answer: Can I have your phone number please?!

3. If you have been asked about it and you do not want to tell, how will you refuse?
Answer: I am sorry, but I only give my phone number to people I consider to be my close friends and family. No hard feelings though.
