Creative Phrasing is another way to jam her radar. We explained earlier how this is the key to scoring phone numbers. You also learned that when you ask permission (“Can I call you sometime?”), her mind will consider the negative possibilities first. (You’ll call her constantly, she shouldn’t share personal information with a guy she just met, etc.) That’s why the more strategic phrase is, “Stacy, I remember you told me you’re off on Saturdays. When would be the best time for me to call you, so we can figure out when to go to that art show I told you about?”

You make getting her number feel like a foregone conclusion. It’s as if you are saying, “obviously you’re going to give me your phone number, I just want to know a good time to ring you.”

This phone call is going to happen. The actual act of her telling you her digits is reduced to a minor detail, something you will take care of in a moment.

He has stated his intention: that he is going to call her when he knows she will be free to talk. If the last guy annoyed her by calling her as she getting ready to go to sleep, the Mack has eliminated that concern. He’s laying out the parameters of the deal: you tell me the time, and I’ll call you then.

You will encounter scenarios where there are obstacles you aren’t aware of. Let’s say the girl recently went through a painful break-up, and made a pledge to herself that she wouldn’t get involved with anyone new for awhile. She doesn’t tell any of you this…but it’s an invisible obstacle to your success.
