Closing the Deal
Closing is a concept that I’ve recently introduced to my friends when they’ve brought up failure when finishing a conversation with a woman they were interested in. They never seem to close, I said, and that’s important. If you’re talking to a girl that you are interested in, you have to get her phone number. Or else you’ll regret it and the moment is gone.
Asking for the number is a quick way to gauge a girl’s interest. If you get a delay then you know she’s most likely not too interested. If she spits out the digits immediately, then you know she’s very interested. Again, it’s a good way to see how she feels about you after a short conversation.
Now remember – just because you got the number doesn’t mean you are immediately “in”. You still have work to do. She may be trying to just be nice to you. (Of course, saying the word “no” doesn’t cross her mind as being nice. She’d rather lead you on.) And no one says you have ever really have to call her, but if you’re interested, do what you feel. Waiting a few days is the norm, but I suggest you wait longer, like 5-9 days to call her. The reason is that you want to build the mystery.
Guys will come up with various reasons not to close. Shyness and fear of rejection are the top reasons. If a girl initiates a conversation with you, then you know that she finds you good-looking and wants to talk. You gotta close in that regard, unless she brings up a boyfriend or husband.
Closing is important. If you want to get anywhere, you got to remember to do it.
