why not? I still haven't figured out what my league is, and if he doesn't call, what have I lost, really? If you're going to do this, you can't invest too much emotionally in the outcome b/c you never know what he's got going at home. Many many people are at some stage of a relationship. You have married men w/o rings, men with SO's and therefore no rings, gay men who aren't obvious, men who are trying to start a relationship with someone else, or men who are just getting out of a relationship and aren't ready to start a new one. Really, what are the chances that he will call even if he's well within your league? Just hand him the number and assume he won't be calling and be ready to tell yourself that it's for one of the above reasons and not b/c he's not interested.

If a girl is attractive to a guy she can write her name and number on a used piece of toilet paper and most guys wouldn't blink.

Nothing wrong with a nice little note, I think most guys would be flattered at the least. I'm 42 and it wouldn't bother me at all. Even if I didn't find her attractive it would bring a smile to my face and brighten my day.

In a way you have a point, however a lot of people just hand out their business cards as they're trying to drum up business. So you would have to use the approach a tad differently.

So, sit down tonight and write up a stack of personalized hand written messages that look like you just wrote them on the spur of the moment and add a personalized comment, like, "Love your beard, Mr.!" and keep them in your purse for when opportunity calls. You could file them under categories like blonde men, bald men, bearded men, well muscled men, etc. I mean, I would hate to be caught out w/o a piece of toilet paper when I need it most. (Sorry, I'm just being silly.) And hey Bobs, you got your star!

How about make an imaginary business with yourself as the CEO and your cell phone number. It could be something really odd like a business that makes clones of peoples pets or a butt implant manufacturer.

Happened to me before, the recptionist at my dentist sent me a note in the mail saying how she liked me and stuff and listed her number. Not knowing exactly which one it was at the office next time I went I secretly found out and she wasn't my style other wise I would have followed through.

So yes it could set things in motion depending.

It's an odd story I'll keep personal, but he initiated it by the way he looked at me and me at him at this place and I asked the guy that worked there if he knew this guy and he said, "he comes in about once a week." So, I left my business card with him with a note on the back and in a week, flowers arrived at my office.
Awwwwww....what a great story! So romantic

I've done this. I was visiting my mom's church. I noticed this guy and he noticed me. He would come over to speak to my mom. Turn and say, so how are you childfree. I'm good. My mom said, he would ask about me, when I didn't show. I dropped mom off and left a note on his car. A week later he called.

Ladies, you ever notice some guys are more attractive with their trap shut. He was a total and complete azz.

One of my best friends is a guy. He said, he would love it.
