I've always had better luck giving my number than asking for hers. Dating in general is just riskier for women, and they can be reluctant to their phone number to a man they don't know. But by giving her your number, you establish a little trust, plus give her the option of going further or not.
This. You may not get a call, but if you'd asked for her number, you may have gotten a fake number. Or her voice mail, with no return call from her. Giving her your number means you're not putting her on the spot. That, in and of itself, is a big relief. It comes across as thoughtful enough that she'd be intrigued enough to call you, even if she was undecided about you to begin with. And if she liked you, or enjoyed the convo, she'll call you for sure.
Thank you Ruth. Good to hear from a woman. I think when a man gives a woman his number it gives her the opportunity to choose. Wonder why so many woman have a hard time with this?
Guy gives girl number. She texts/responds. He takes it from there.
Any woman that expects the man to do 100% of the work is going to be in for some disappointment.
Why bother giving her your number? Just give her your ****ing phone (ready on the dial screen) and ask her to key in her number. I've done this, and they always, always call to make sure their phones ring. Then both of you have each other's number.

Numerous downsides to this.
1. You're putting her completely on the spot. If she's not interested, she has no way out.
2. Phoning the number she keys in = kind of like a police tactic. You're implying you don't believe she was honest and gave you a real number, until you hear her phone ring. That's a really negative message. And
3. It sends an intimidating, almost controlling message. It could freak some women out. It's overbearing.
So, you joined here just to say, "give her your ****ing phone"?

Phones are nasty, I won't touch anyone elses phone unless I just have a major necessity to do so.
I have asked a woman to send me a text so I get her number, then she usually sends a quick text with some emoticon. Or I will ask for her number and when she asks for mine, I've already sent her a text.
Depends on how confident you are she'll contact you.
If you can tell she's very into you, or you don't care much either way, you give her your number.
If you think she might be wishy-washy, ask for her number, that way you can contact her and hopefully over time she may become more into you. She could be shy, or take a lot to trust a guy or willing to meet new guys, so she may just need some reassurance.

I only do this when I can't remember their name.. That is seriously a signature move at the bar..
"Here, you put it in"
Or if that doesn't work, you can do a much more risky move and:
"How do you spell your name again?"
That works if it's like.. Halie, Hailie, Haylee, etc..
If it's Amber.. expect to get called out haha.
