It's never too soon, but not all guys will ask right away, since some will wait out of shyness, fear, intimidation or lack of confidence or self esteem. He might like you just as much as or more than another guy that would have given his number to you, or who would have asked for yours, on the first day.

Where I live, it's not uncommon for girls to ask for or give their numbers just the same, so try that out, if you like him enough. He won't like you any less for it, and you'll probably get things rolling alot faster and smoother, since alot of guys mean to do something, and procrastinate for a month or more, even if it's given or receiving numbers in regards to those they really like.

If anything, he'll see your confidence and really admire and like you for it.;)

Odds agony auntNo such thing as too soon. Plenty of guys try to exchange numbers within the first few minutes of meeting a new girl, and in my experience, they all take it as being pretty normal. Sometimes you don't need to say a word first.

tennisstar88 agony auntDid he ask you for it? If so then by all means give it to him. There's no rules or limitations on giving a guy your number.

Hi there. Usually, a guy asks for a girl's phone number. It seems a bit arrogant I think. Why I say this, is if he gives you his number he is effectively saying, "I want you to call me, because I won't call you".

If he is to do that, he's being very pushy and demanding - expecting you to call him. In other words, he wants you to chase after him, so he doesn't have to bother. Don't go there. Let him chase you. If he's keen enough, he will chase you.

And if it hasn't happened yet (the giving of phone numbers), then give it time. There's no set time, it will happen when it's meant to and not before. Don't try to ask him for it, and don't offer him your number either. If you do offer him your phone number, it will make you look needy and desperate. That's not a good look, and not very attractive to men either.

Just enjoy your life and be friendly to him. Don't let him see that you are too keen. It might make him back off altogether as you could appear pushy.

What is very attractive to men, is a young woman who is confident, self-assured, independent and just a touch unpredictable - to make life interesting. A woman who is a bit of a challenge. Not too much though, you do want to be approachable. The trick is, it has to be genuine (from the heart), not pretend. Otherwise, it will come across as false and will be very transparent and insincere.

Just be yourself and relax. Also, be open and honest in everything that you say and do. As long as it all comes from the heart. Then you can't go wrong.

Hope this has helped you. Take care and best wishes.
