giving a woman your contact information shows that you have an interest in her, and her safety. that way she doesnt have to worry about who is getting her contact information. if they are interested in you, then they will call you. if not, you just lost a business card, no big deal.

Good point.

I initially thought the title of this thread said 'giving a card without contact info'.. Now THAT would be an auto fail .

But it is curious that some women that have posted in this thread find that card to be "pretentious".
I never got that idea from anyone I've ever given it to. But then I only use that method in certain situations and there's a certain way I do it. I think writing my cell number on the back of the card, in front of them, makes it look less planned & less douchy. Since they're in my wallet, they're usually a little bent so it doesn't look like I'm some kind of salesman who does it all the time.

I never just hand one over - if I do that, I'm looking for a professional contact, not a date.

No, I actually laughed out loud, and I'm at work. You seem funny; would you like my card?

Giving me a card tells me the guy sees me as a colleague or potential client or vendor. It does not say "romantic interest" in the least.

If a man wants to get to know me romantically, he'll just have to lay it out there, take the risk of a lifetime, and climb out on that dangerous precipice from which he may fall to his death, broken and bloody at the bottom of a chasm, never to be seen again from friends and family, and say those four utterly terrifying words, "May I call you?"
