However, like most girls, I have random bursts of confidence that have given me the chance to meet amazing people… Here comes an example: A few years ago I was on a train journey from Manchester to Blackpool when I noticed the most ADORABLE guy.

He had that delightful vacant indie look about him. I found myself glancing up and smiling at him the entire time, he however, must have been so freaked out by my display that he didn’t say a word and kept looking down at his comic book (Yes! He reads comic books, and that happens to be a turn on for me… go figure?).

As the stops until between the train’s current location and Blackpool station begin to get fewer and fewer – although he could get up and leave at any time – I felt like I had to do something, he could be the one! So I scribbled my name and number onto a piece of paper, and as I stood up to leave the train I handed him the note.

I was strong and didn’t look back.

On the walk away from the station I felt amazing. If he doesn’t text me I haven’t lost anything because I don’t know him. But he had to appreciate what it took for me to do that…

He text me within minutes.

This guy has been one of my best friends for almost 5 years now, but he certainly didn’t text me that first time because he wanted to start a beautiful friendship. He was curious, and impressed by my bravery. He has told me since that he’s never seen anyone sexier than the girl I was when I handed him that note.

However… I do understand that handing out your number to a perfect stranger probably isn’t the safest idea, so thankfully I have a solution. There’s a brilliant new website called losemynumber.co.uk that is perfect for this. Basically the website provides you with a secondary number that gets diverted to your phone. You can disconnect the number if you tire of the guy but it’s a great thing to have if you want to be more outgoing! Plus, the website is completely free so no excuses!
Happy flirting ladies.
