A young Nigerian man has gone viral after sharing his unique and unconventional approach for asking women out, which he claims has helped him filter out those who are not genuinely interested. This unconventional method has sparked a conversation on social media, especially among users who are curious about new ways to form connections in the dating world.
The idea, which was initially shared by [X] user @chinedu_10, revolves around a simple yet effective strategy: instead of asking women for their phone numbers, he gives them his. This subtle shift in the traditional approach, according to Chinedu, allows for a more straightforward way to gauge interest and avoid wasting time on those who aren’t serious.
Chinedu, who clarified that he isn’t a relationship coach, expressed that this method has consistently helped him form meaningful connections. He explained, “When I meet a lady who catches my eye, I don’t ask for her number. Instead, I give her mine and tell her to text me. It’s not about being proud or forming an ‘alpha male’ persona; it’s about respecting my time. If she doesn’t text, I’ve saved myself from wasting time on something that wouldn’t work out. Trust me, this works!”
The idea quickly gained traction and even inspired another [X] user, @Yorubatoast1, to give it a try. He tested the method with a woman he admired during their daily bus commute. Instead of directly asking for her contact details, he handed her a handwritten note with his phone number. To his delight, the lady texted him hours later, starting a lively and humorous conversation that left him feeling optimistic about the success of the approach.
In a follow-up post, @Yorubatoast1 shared his positive experience, writing: “I decided to try this method yesterday, and it actually works, guys. Don’t let Twitter women gaslight you; give out your number instead. If she’s interested, she’ll message you.”
