91

I was at an outing for my insurance office. Afterwork everyone was going to a local restaurant on the shore and they invited me.

While we were eating food my boss says " Alpha27145, do you have a girlfriend?"

I joked around and said "it depends on your definition of girlfriend"

Then he says "there's a girl named Hayley downstairs that you should meet"

So I go to the downstairs part of the restaurant and introduce myself.

I say hey my boss and the office are hanging out and they said I should meet you

Then after some chit chat I say "My boss isn't gonna let me back up without your number"

She hesitated a little probably shocked that I was so quick to ask. She wrote it down on those slips they use for orders.

I go back up to the table with my coworkers and smack that number on the table. They cheer like I'm a pirate who hauled in booty.

What I want to know is how fast should I move in to hangout and after that how fast to escalate.

This is just a big flex disguised as a question. Still a good story tho.

[–]mustache_ride_25 points26 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Hey guys I have a 12 inch dick, is that too long?

[–]frognads17 points18 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Haha pretty much.

[–]BurnoTaurus18 points19 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

How is it a good story?

The whole "my boss isnt gonna let me back without your number" thing is "Im using this as an excuse to get your number because im too much of a bitch to straight up ask for it like a man"

You're concealing your own intentions behind a proxy, one which also essentially forces the girl to give her number regardless of whether she legitimately wants to.

Slapping the number down on the table is a display of cock length to your coworkers that ultimately results in the reverse of what you intended. Even if the girl actually met up after that number grab, she knows getting her number was a pretext to you gaining favour amongst your coworkers. She'll start thinking "oh if I fuck him its gonna be really hard for them not to suspect anything"

She imagines the crooked smiles of all your coworkers high fiving you after you shove your tongue three feet up her snatch...

[–]Omesaa5 points6 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

His line was smooth. He got a number. His coworkers now like him more. Boss likes him more aswell.

And youre being upset and writing an essay how it wasnt cool. Nice!

[–]BurnoTaurus-1 points0 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Nice try, I just showed you how it wasnt smooth.

[–]Ohboohoolittlegirl28 points29 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Don't forget that she knows your boss. You saying, 'he's not gonna let me come back without your number' have her very little chance to reject your request. Especially if her boss and yours are friends..

Not sure whether pressured into giving her number or sincerely interested. Good job on the number and daring to ask, but it could be seen as forceful

[–]Standgrounding12 points13 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

I feel like she got pressured into that. Judging from the "shocked" face she made.

That's not going to end well tbh.

[–]jackandjill220 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Likewise agree.

[–]Alzatorus26 points27 points  (11 children) | Copy Link

DO NOT ASK HER ON A DATE! ..... Christ.... so many people saying to do this.... NO.... tell her that you’re doing something cool/interesting and invite her to tag along! If that goes well THEN invite her on a date.

e.g. “A couple of friends and I are going to ______ this weekend around ___am/pm. I’d like you to come, if you’re free?”

Then if that goes well, date her 1-1. You don’t know her so she will be much more comfortable in a group, especially if she can also being a friend (you can tack the “bring a friend” on to the the question above too)

[–]Standgrounding11 points12 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

This tbh. Make it casual bois

[–]Monitorul-5 points-4 points  (9 children) | Copy Link

Bad advice. Why would you invite her where there are other people around and you can't make any moves? Better to just ask if she wants to go to bar X at time Y, or coffee if it's in the day.

[–]Alzatorus5 points6 points  (8 children) | Copy Link

🤦🏼‍♂️... because...

  1. You’re asking her a question/permission which is beta... read what I wrote above... I was inviting her to tag along which brings up the sensation of ‘privilege’ as in you have chosen to let her hang out with you and not asking if she will ALLOW you to take her on a date, as you have just suggested doing... seriously, that is bad advice.

If you want to go down you’re route and have her one on one (awkward) then you need to say...

“I’m planning on going out for coffee Saturday and it would be cool if you could join me”

Stop asking for permission 🤦🏼‍♂️

[–]izzyinjurious1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Fuck, i usually go with: “Oi! Someplace 2pm don’t be late. Oh and dress cute” If they don’t reschedule I move on. Or I’ll say some other spot like a month later and then finally next. Thanks for the tip. I gotta do me and have them tag along.

[–]Domebeers0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

He wasn't saying anything about asking versus telling, he was saying it's a bad move to take her out in a group, and he'd have a better chance at fucking if it was a 1 on 1 thing. At least that's how I read it. Every non rookie knows the 'don't ask' stuff.

[–]Monitorul-1 points0 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

"I’m planning on going out for coffee Saturday"

Who goes to a coffee on their own? Saturday is also primetime. Just say "Let's go for a coffee, when are you free next week?" and once she says when she's available proceed from there.

>which is beta

lol sure thing buddy. And you're the uber alpha.

[–]Alzatorus2 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

You’ve entirely missed the point. It’s not about what you’re suggesting he say it’s about how you’re framing it. In everything you’ve suggested you’ve put her on a pedestal and put the power in her hands. I don’t believe I ever said I was the “Uber alpha” 😂 although the ‘Beta experience’ definitely left me in my early 20’s. At 30 years old I currently have 3 plates at 21, 20, and 28 and have no intentions of ‘settling.’ The key thing I’m getting at is you don’t want to be asking questions all the time, you want to phrase everything as a statement. Everything you’ve suggest has been in question format. It’s a turn off for women so you should avoid it.

[–]Monitorul0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Personally I don't think asking to see what days someone is available is such a problem. If she perceives this simple logistical step as "being beta" then it's already doomed from the start, because first she's a cunt for interpreting it this way, and second it's not worth it to put on a front for such a person, let alone before the first meeting.

If your shot in the dark suggestion misfires, in the best case she'll suggest a different time if she's really into you, in the worst and more likely case she'll ghost or make an excuse about a schedule conflict and leave it at that if you overestimated your own worth to this girl. Personally I prefer to make the process as smooth as possible without any holes for flakiness. This "When in the week are you free?/Ok let's meet on X for a Y" approach worked well for me in the past with Tinder girls that I had never met before and who had zero investment in me. Your plates already know you so you have more flexibility with what you can say to them.

My main problem with your post wasn't that though. It's that instead of inviting her to a 1-on-1 you suggested inviting her to a group outing with your friends, which is effectively friendzoning yourself since they will just get in the way of escalating, when you could have already had her isolated from the start.

[–]TheBunk_TB1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I do. I'm comfortable with myself. Saturday morning/afternoon are dead for the most part. (Unless you are in the gym), Good time for coffee.

[–]Monitorul-1 points0 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

You’re asking her a question/permission which is beta

Your own phrasing has a question in it: "I’d like you to come, if you’re free?" Sorry buddy, guess you're still beta. Back to the sidebar

[–]Alzatorus-1 points0 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Point absolutely missed.

[–]Killionaire2k45 points46 points  (6 children) | Copy Link

I'd give it 3-5 days before even reaching out to her

If you're going to text, don't be so available and respond right away. it will seem like you don't have shit you got to do and she will lose interest

Use the texting as a means to actually meet up with the chick and nothing else tbh

[–]Alpha271457 points8 points  (4 children) | Copy Link

I did already text and she did respond But I'll wait it out and barely text

[–]AlleyFrog9620 points21 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

But why? Just get to the point. Stop wasting time bro

[–]McVaghunter9 points10 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

This! Fuck waiting 3-5 days.

[–]ImBackBitch9260 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Guys actually believe that playing phone games raise interest lol. You think a woman cares if she writes a guy 5x in a row. And if he doesn't like her afterwards or says anything negative about it, she will get over it in a second and move on with no fucks given.

[–]no_re-entry9 points10 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I would say yes but it’s ok to build rapport along the way

[–]Clemotime0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Business days?

[–]velilo8 points9 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

This has #MeToo written all over it lmao.

[–]Kn3127 points28 points  (4 children) | Copy Link

I can't imagine a real alpha asking this question. She's one girl ask her on a date she ghosts you move to the next.

[–]MR_SKINNYPENIS6917 points18 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

My thoughts too. The idea that an alpha would ask such a basic question doesn't make sense. An alpha certainly wouldn't think much of this encounter and wouldn't cream his pants and go write a thread about it.

Not that I'm shitting on the OP. Well done for getting the number, OP.

[–]empatheticapathetic6 points7 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Going upstairs and slapping the number on the table tells you everything really.

[–]Endorsed Contributoritiswr1tten2 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

First of all, alpha isn't a noun

Second of all, the whole fucking point of ASK TRP is help with things you're not sure about.

[–]TheBunk_TB0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

To go full retard: Seeking Alpha is a noun. It is a website/company. According to the Assberger's Book of Knowledge (American Heritage Dictionary); alpha is a noun. It is the first letter in the Greek alphabet.

[–]PandaLitter2 points3 points  (16 children) | Copy Link

Is Haley related to your company?

[–]Alpha271452 points3 points  (15 children) | Copy Link

what do you mean related?

[–]whosaccisthis949 points10 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

As in, if you bang her are you shitting where you eat.

[–]Alpha271458 points9 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Nope I work in insurance and this girl is a server at a restaurant that my insurance office went to after hours

[–]PandaLitter5 points6 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

That's what my questions were asked for

[–]PandaLitter0 points1 point  (11 children) | Copy Link

How did your boss know Haley

[–]Alpha271452 points3 points  (10 children) | Copy Link

He knows the owner and goes there a lot. it was my first time there with my coworkers

[–]PandaLitter-1 points0 points  (9 children) | Copy Link

And where is Haley in all of this... That was my original question

[–]Alpha271456 points7 points  (8 children) | Copy Link

Boss goes to restaurant Boss knows owner of restaurant Boss goes there often Boss knows people who work there Girl works there Boss knows me and Girl are almost the same age

[–]PandaLitter-1 points0 points  (7 children) | Copy Link

Was I or anyone reading this supposed to know that set of relationships? I didn't see that anywhere in your post

[–]Alpha27145-1 points0 points  (6 children) | Copy Link

Wasn't necessary to explain the relationship

[–]HotelMohelHolidayInn6 points7 points  (5 children) | Copy Link

It is if your boss knows this girl or you work with her since she can likely get you fired.

[–]PandaLitter8 points9 points  (4 children) | Copy Link

That's what I've been trying to eke out but it's like pulling teeth

[–]Jesusfeminist7 points8 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Gonna go against the grain here and say that you are fucked. If the girl is good friends with your boss, like a family friend, you have no option to play her and everything wrong you do in your personal life with her might end up in your boss’ ear. You did the right move by flirting a bit and getting the number, but you should just ignore and not pursue this one

[–]1Terminal-Psychosis3 points4 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Yah, enjoy the minor victory. Stay cordial with her.

If OP does good at his job, he can judge better if he's in the clear.

Also, god damn, he needs to be reading the side bar.

[–]KungfuCatcus3 points4 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Immediately send her a dick pic. But not just any old dick pic. Go all out, nice watch, maybe a fake tattoo or two, and even consider putting a bowtie on it.

Don't forget: lighting is key. Work those angles

[–]Domebeers0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

THIS OP

[–]TheBunk_TB0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Dick Cheney pic. No one enjoys those.

[–]thebadguy8915 points16 points  (4 children) | Copy Link

Girls give their numbers all the time, because it's fucking awkward to reject someone in person. Ghosting is the de facto rejection method for the vast majority of chicks.

And you are a bitch ass for saying "my boss isn't gonna let me back up". Like wtf, you can't ask a girl out on your own?

[–]Alpha271451 point2 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

my boss never said I had to get the number, just a line I used

[–]thrwy7547911 points12 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Thing is, she may know that your boss knows the owner. Because of that she may have felt pressured to give you her number.

Not a good move, but you have her number, and she doesn't work with you, so give it a shot.

If things happen, hopefully your boss and the owner wouldn't be involved in any way.

[–]thebadguy893 points4 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

I don't give a shit what your boss said. The fact is the girl is going to think you're a pussy ass bitch for saying that someone told you to ask her out.

[–]FinancialThanks12 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Chill. You don’t understand the tone in which he said it

[–]I_LOVE_CHIPS2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Agree with top post. This thread is an ego stroke / humble-brag combo. Good job I guess.

[–]T-P-T-W-P2 points3 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

I’m only 24 but I remember doing shit like this with my friends in highschool. MAYBE as a drunk freshmen in college or something but then I probably regretted it afterwards. If you are older than 18 and regularly fuck, you aren’t slapping a chicks number down on a table in front of your coworkers lol. I thought this sub was better than this. Comment section reeks of NoFap pat-on-the-back “good job man!”. OP did something every single man should be doing on a weekly basis and then acted like his dick was big for being a step above a pussy. I mean I can’t really shit on OP too hard because he took step 1 in approaching, which is better than a lot of the weenies on here. But do better, act like you’ve been there before. Also don’t intermingle sex and work beyond that initial setup. I’m not going to be one of the guys that says don’t EVER fuck your coworkers or related peoples but it should be kept on the down low if it’s happening. You took a megaphone and blasted “I’m trying to fuck this girl my boss and possibly coworkers know!”. Not sure if genuinely bad things can come of that but I know for certain that nothing good beyond likely average pussy can.

[–]Alpha271450 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy Link

Well lucky for me I am in highschool so I'll step my game up in the future

[–]T-P-T-W-P0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Well that makes me sound like an asshole. But do act like you’ve been there before. And keep things close to the vest. You will never really benefit from telling people who you are or are trying to bang. And if you do go on to have sex with a bunch of women, you will understand my point of view. It becomes less and less special over time and eventually you’ll find yourself trying to figure out excuses to get a genuinely attractive woman out of your apartment ASAP after sex, or entirely disregarding chicks with red flags even though you’re sure they’d be fun to fuck with. Realizing they poop piss and fart just like you. Whatever it is, you’ll see that there are very few instances in which it becomes worth putting on blast for the world to know. And even fewer instances where it’s worth investing significant time and resources into. But good on you for taking initiative, you’re already better at women than a good portion of men all ages.

[–]Stupyyy1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Don't listen to people saying you should wait 3-5 days, that's a rookie mistake. Call immediately or asap.

[–]frognads1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Just fuck her right in the pussy bro.

[–]Domebeers1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

"My boss isn't gonna let me back up without your number"

Very close to cringe territory but I'm glad it worked. I mean, make sure that is her number lol.

If you do call her, I'd tell her that you made that up, so she doesn't think if she fucks you everyone in your office will know. "I just said that because (whatever you bantz with)"

[–]MasterShake7770 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Whenever you want!

[–]AnneStaz0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Haha. Who knows what will happen. But in my experience when all the boys are cheering and you make it some huge thing that she probably heard, now you've got so much pressure on her. If she does sleep with you shes assuming you're going to tell everyone. So be ready for flaking and/or her feeling mega uncomfortable man

[–]1Terminal-Psychosis0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Congratz. Do what ya feel... and read the sidebar please.

Here's a tip. Phone convo (text or voice) is only for logistics.

Set up a date. "I'm doing this n that, you're invited" works well.

Get the date n time set and get OFF the phone. You're a busy man.

[–]10points4gryffinddor0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Whenever the fook u want. Just don’t count on it turning into anything and it may just turnnn out.

[–]agjrpsl0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

She works in a restaurant and is a server. She probably gets hit on all the time. Waitresses can be pretty wild, and this should be an easy plate you can spin for awhile.

[–]Monitorul0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Cool story bro

[–]ToraChan230 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Your boss didn't come in clutch; he just facilitated one of the worst things a man can do in regards to women: shitting where they eat

[–]Classic_Touch0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Do not be surprised if she only gave you the number out of pressure because it was a work environment.

[–]masterpiece000 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Damn dude I hope this isn't all true for your own sake, if the boss said that you should of politely laughed it off and kept things professional.
For one thing it's a beta going up to a girl and saying 'my bad boss man made me come talk to you, i do everything he says', so i wouldn't be surprised if she flakes.

two, I'm sure in the moment it might of felt like it 'looked good', but this would stir the water among co-workers and or your boss, mixing sexual things and business lunches and then everyone going back into 'serious mode' at work the next week spells disaster, it puts you on a weird social plane with your workplace.
Start looking for a new job.

[–]TFWnoLTR0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Id have hit her up the next day trying to set up a date and feel out her response. If theres any coldness or doubt, throw that number in the trash. She probably feels like you only approached to impress your boss and won't be receptive to your advances.

It would have been better to say something like "My boss said I should come down and meet you, and you do seem cool, but I should get back up there since it's a work function. Give me your number so we can hang out sometime." That makes it seem much more like you're genuinely interested in her.

[–]PhaedrusHunt0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Jesus the amount of overthinking in this thread.

Dude just fucking ask her out when you feel like it. You shouldn't come off as a dude with all this free time and honestly you sound needy.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Its like no one fucking reads the sidebar these days.

You wouldnt be asking this question if you had more numbers in your phone.

Keep pursuing others.

[–]theory0feverything-1 points0 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Not too quick or else you'll seem like a fiend. I'd wait a week or two, but it doesn't really matter.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
