If you’re vibing with a girl and your conversation is wrapping up, you might want to ask for her number. Being direct and asking for it is a solid approach, but it’s not very witty or creative. Instead, try a funny line to get her number and stand out from the crowd. In this article, we're providing 50+ funny and unique ways to ask a girl for her number. We also spoke with dating coach Imad Jbara for tips on how to get a girl's number in a natural way and keep her interested over text.

How to Get a Chick’s Number

Introduce yourself and ask her questions to start an engaging conversation. After you’ve been talking for a while, ask for her number directly. Dating coach Imad Jbara says you should always “give a reason” to get a girl’s number. For example, you could say you want to continue the conversation or arrange a date.

  1. Have your cell with a new contact option opened so it only takes a second to type in. You can use this line on a complete stranger or someone you’ve known for a little while! [1]
    • “I lost my phone number, but I bet yours is a perfect replacement.”
    • “I swear my number was here just a second ago... but now it's gone. How about I get yours?”

  1. When she asks what’s wrong with it, tell her that the only way to fix it is to add her number. This line is even funnier if your phone is actually cracked or broken in some way! [2]
    • “I think my phone is broken… it won’t let me text anything other than your number. Want to fix that?”
    • “My phone seems to be glitching...it’s only showing the number of incredibly cute people. So, could you help me out with yours?”

  1. This line works best if you use it on a girl you’ve talked to a few times before. Have the “add contact” screen up and ready before you hand your phone over so it’s ready to go. She’ll probably chuckle as she adds her name and number into your phone. [3]
    • “Would you hold my phone while I use the bathroom? And put your number in it while you’re at it.”
    • “Hey, would you mind holding my phone for a second? It’s feeling a little heavy without your number in it!”

    • “I’m not clingy, but my phone might get sad if I don’t get your number.”

    • “I’m not great at trusting people… but I’m willing to make an exception for your number.”

    • “It’s obvious we vibe with each other, so I think it’s only right I have your number to keep the good times rolling!”

PDF download Download Article
  1. If you’re looking for a line that stands out from the crowd, this one's for you! Framing your line around fate is super charming and romantic, and it’s not as common as a cold ask or giving her a compliment. It'll probably be a refreshing break from other lines she’s heard before, making her intrigued enough to give you her number.
    • “This feels like fate, so let’s make it official: your number in my phone?”
    • “I know this sounds crazy, but ’ve always believed in destiny and it just told me to ask for your number.”
    • “If fate is real, then I think this is the moment we’re supposed to exchange numbers. What do you think?”

“Are you an angel? Because I’ve been texting heaven asking for your number.”

PDF download Download Article
  1. When all else fails, using a pick-up line is a solid choice. Keep in mind that your confidence and delivery are key, and don’t overthink it. If she seems super outgoing, feel free to drop a bold or borderline cheesy line. If she’s more reserved, stick to something subtle and sweet. [11]
    • “Are we at the airport? Because my heart is taking off. Can I get your number to keep the flight going?”
    • “Is your name Google? Because you’ve got everything I’ve been searching for. Mind sharing your number?”
    • “Is your name Wi-Fi? Because I’m feeling a connection. How about we exchange numbers and see if it gets stronger?”
    • “Do you have a map? Because I keep getting lost in your eyes. Want to give me your number and make it easier for me to find you again?”
15

“If you gave me your number, I’d give you something even better.”

PDF download Download Article
  1. This line is risky, so save it until you’ve been flirting for a while. Since it implies you want her to send you a dirty text , you’ll definitely want to make sure that she’s interested in you. Some signs include: prolonged eye contact, mirroring your body language, touching you, and playfully teasing you. [12]
    • “I’ve never sexted before. Maybe you can teach me?”
    • “I want to tell you something, but it’s too inappropriate to say out loud. I’ll have to text it to you instead.”
    • “I’d love to keep this conversation going, but I think we need a little more privacy. What’s your number?”

How to smoothly ask for a girl's number?
WikiCheetahTamer353

There's a girl I run into a lot on campus. I don't know her, but we smile at each other and I think I'd like to ask for her number, but I don't know how to do this without seeming...Idk, like a creep? Or desperate? Is it weird to just........ask a stranger for her number? If not, how do you do it (with at least a little rizz)? What do you even say??
Connell Barrett

The best way to ask for a girl's number is to not ask so much as lead. Strike up a conversation the next time you see her. While you're talking, give her a compliment, like, "Hey, I enjoy talking to you, you're really funny, you're really witty, I've enjoyed this. Let's trade numbers," then take out your phone and assume that she feels the same way. Feel confident about it. Don't say, "Hey, can I please maybe get your number?" Instead, be confident and approach it with an attitude of, "Hey, of course we're going to trade numbers, we clearly like each other."

Remember that the phone number should be exchanged as a byproduct of a nice flirtatious connected conversation. It's not a trophy. It's not the reason for the conversation. It's simply a byproduct of two people connecting and getting closer, who want to see each other again.

That's all great advice. I'd also add that in order to not come off creepy (which is something I worry about sometimes myself), it helps to have an actual conversation with her before asking for her number. So if you only like this girl because she's cute and smiles at you, maybe your next step should be chatting with her for a few minutes and then ask for her number if you feel like you're vibing.

You're at school, ask her what classes she's taking. If you're at a cafe, ask her if she's tried the new crazy beverage. Simple conversation starters that can get the ball rolling. Like the commenter above said the phone number is a byproduct of connecting and a sign you both want to get closer and see where that connection can go.

    Not necessarily! Try to have a specific reason in mind when you ask—if you were both talking about your favorite TV shows, you might say "Could I have your number? I'd love to text you once the new season premieres next week."

      Tips

      • Jbara says you should always “give a reason” to get a girl’s phone number. If you talked to her about your favorite show, for example, you could say something like “give me your number so I can text you when season two comes out.” Providing a specific reason will “make her more enticed.” [13]
        Thanks

      • Imad also recommends “using your environment to help you.” If you’re at a library or bookstore, for example, you could approach a girl for book recommendations to “build conversation and take it to the next level.” That way, “she’ll feel more comfortable” and it won’t seem like you’re just trying to get her number. [14]
        Thanks

      • To keep a girl interested over text, Imad says to “be illogical and fun.” It’s easy for things to “get misconstrued over text,” especially if you don’t understand the other person’s tone or sense of humor. If she asks “how are you,” you could respond playfully by saying “the usual, just saving the group of kids from a burning bush and helping the old lady across the street.” [15]
        Thanks
