When a guy hits it off with you in public and asks for your phone number, giving it out is the right thing to do.
This means that you get to continue the conversation beyond where you met him, whether it was at a gas station, coffee house, library, gym, grocery store, courtyard, etc.
Why wouldn’t you want a great conversation to continue with a guy that was bold enough to start a conversation with you that you enjoyed in public?
Granted, there is a fear that this is a complete stranger and you don’t know what he is about nor his background.
Where there are a plethora of members of the opposite sex, you give yourself the greatest exposure.
When you attend an event at a location where there are plenty of women attending, there are more opportunities for you to be seen by them, which increases the likelihood you find a date.
This is intimidating to some guys.
Putting yourself in a social venue where there are a bunch of girls is nerve-racking when you aren’t used to being in these type of venues.
Putting yourself in environments where men frequent in mass improves your chances of finding a boyfriend.
If you stay cooped up at home alone most days, or always hang out with your small circle of friends at their homes, you make it harder to find a boyfriend.
Get out of your comfort zone by attending a sports event.
Yes, I know that you aren’t the biggest fan of sports.
