Just gazing dreamily towards the woman of your dreams is of no use if you do not talk to her and get her phone number. A willingness to part with her phone number will indicate that the woman too is interested in you and is willing to take the next step. But you need to extract that number from her without it looking like a dentist extracting a tooth from a terrified patient.

Even before you reach the stage of exchanging phone numbers, you will first need to correctly understand the signals that the woman tosses towards you. If she likes what she sees then she is bound to look at you repeatedly. This could be your cue to approach her and start making a conversation. She might find your sense of humor extremely funny and might fleetingly touch your arms as she laughs her way into your heart.

On the other hand, the woman of your dreams might not be so expressive and might be quite shy or nervous upon meeting you. She may be interested in you but might not be able to send out the right signals loud and clear. This might get a bit unnerving since proceeding further may be met by outright rejection. Well, as the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained, so move bravely ahead. In such a case, make sure that there are few people around when you make your next move. This way you do not risk public humiliation or rejection. The next step, of course is to get the woman's mobile number.

Asking for the mobile number directly could pose a problem. However, a few indirect moves will enable you to get that number without problems. The first method is to help out the woman with any problem that she might have mentioned during your informal talk. When you approach her in a supermarket you could ask her for her opinion on what would be a better sauce with this pasta. You could use this informal approach to start a conversation with her, as you are not approaching her in a non-threatening way and she will relax.

Another way of approaching her, say you are at an art gallery and you are both in front of a painting that might have a striking blotch of red on it. You could make a comment like "Wow, did you spill your red wine on that, listen you better run you could be in a whole lot of trouble. Listen I'll cover for you"

What this does is gets you in their in a non threatening way and allows you to strike up a conversation and let her put her guard down and that way you have a better chance of getting her number.

While it would be quite easy to get a number from a woman who is openly sending out signals, a shy woman will be reluctant to give her number and might even give you the wrong number to throw you off balance. Instead of getting humiliated at a later date, you can simply turn the tables right there by dialing her number from your mobile and tell her that you are calling her up at that very instant to give her your own number as it will appear in the received or missed calls list. Well, if her mobile phone rings with your number on it then you are through otherwise the woman's bluff would have been called, albeit at your expense. This would surely mean that you are barking up the wrong tree.

Hence, while it could be quite easy to get a willing and interested woman's number, you might need to use the above moves to get a shy or reluctant woman's number. Check out the truth right there and if all goes well, you could be cooing sweet nothings in your woman's ear within no time.
