The Crazy Way I Scored His Number!

"My friends and I have this notebook, and whenever we hang out we all write in it so we can look back and remember all the crazy times we've had. One of our favorite hangouts is the diner right by our high school, and one night we had a waiter who was kind of cute and super funny! After joking with him the whole meal, we took a chance and asked him to write something in our notebook. We were expecting some cheesy joke, but instead got his name and number!" —Kelly, 17, AZ

"I was out with my BFF and she introduced me to her friends. I was instantly attracted to one of them, and added him on Facebook a few days later, and he posted a status that he had a new phone and he asked people to text him their number. I knew this was my perfect opportunity to be funny but cute! I commented, "Can I get yo numba" (like in the skit on Mad TV!) and crossed my fingers that he had seen the show too! He sent me his number the same day and said he loved my sense of humor!" —Stephanie, 22, NY

"I was talking to this cute guy in my math class about how hard our test was going to be and asked him if he wanted to study together. He was playing with his phone, and I wasn't sure if he was nervous or disinterested. I touched his hand and asked him if I could program my number in his phone so we could schedule a date. He texted me the next day!" —Taylor, 19, NJ

"I was on a plane and a cute boy sat next to me. It was a long flight, and after talking for a while, we both fell asleep. When I woke up, he was still sleeping—on me! He was so embarrassed, so I jokingly said, ‘Come on, at least ask for my number first!’ He laughed and told me I was funny—and then asked me to put my number in his phone!" —Jenna, 19, NJ

"I was waiting tables at a jazz festival and I spotted a cute guy. I wrote my name on a little napkin and brought him over a sweet tea with it. I winked and then walked away, and later he asked me to dance at the end of the night. It was super sweet! And the best part was, he got my number and texted me the next day!” —Haley, 20, FL

"A boy I work with took my phone and hid it from me. To find it, I stole his phone and called mine with it. I got my phone back and his number!" —Erica, 20, NJ

“My friend and I were getting ice cream, and there was a really cute guy working the register. On the way out, I stopped by his register again, but he wasn't there. His co-worker (who happened to be a friend of mine) was there instead, and I slipped her a napkin with my number on it and told her to give it to him. He ended up texting me after his shift!” —Kaila, 20, WI

“I was at a highlighter party and wrote my number (in highlighter, of course!) on a guy's abs. It was raining outside, so I told him to put it into his phone before it washed off! It was bold, but guys love confidence!” —Hayley, 20, KY

My friends and I always split into two teams and play the number game. If you are in a public place with lots of cute guys you see which team can get the most numbers first! We've met tons of guys this way and its super fun! —Bella, 20, CA

“Last summer I worked at Starbucks and there was this really cute guy who would come in all the time and ordered the same thing. After weeks of seeing him, I finally worked up the courage to prepare his drink for him (before he even ordered it!), and wrote my name and number on the cup. He smiled when he saw my number as I handed him his drink—and he texted me later that night!” —Nikki, 17, FL

“I was at a grocery store when I saw a really cute boy. We locked eyes and I immediately walked down the aisle he was in. Looking for an excuse to talk to him, I just casually went to go to grab a bag of chips and stood on my tippy toes and looked over at him like I needed help, since I'm super short. He came over and "helped" me and I got his number!” —Alex, 15, OH

“My crush and I got in a little Twitter conversation and started flirting. He mentioned that I should text him, but told me I couldn't just have his number—I needed to earn it. I decided to play along, because it was fun and flirty! He asked me questions to see if I ‘deserved’ his number. We were probably blowing up everyone's Twitter feeds, but I eventually ‘earned’ his number, and now we’ve been dating for over a year and a half!” —Anna, 18, IL
