Here is the short of the story: I go to the pub down the block every monday afternoon for a burger and a beer... Mostly because the bartender is a very attractive young lady about my age (25). This past monday, I got some food to go and she put a note with her number in the bag. I didn't notice it until just now when I went to eat the food.

Not having dated for quite some time, I am wondering if the Two Day Rule (if you don't know what that is, go rent "Swingers" and be quick about it) is still the widely accpected method.

Also, I'm wondering if a text message is kosher. I have pretty bad hearing as well as a healthy amount of tinnitus, so its kind of hard for me talk to folks on cell phones.

Thoughts? Suggestions? The last time a hot girl gave me her number was... Well, never, so I'm thinking it's a good possibility that she saw my t-bird outside and thought I was a celebrity

Don't wait. Playing games sucks.
Text her.
Tell her you just found her note, "what a pleasant suprise", ear problems make phone calls difficult.
When and where would she like to meet?

You got bar food to go on a Monday, and didn't eat it till Tuesday? Isn't there some kind of rule for that? You better call her NOW!

And hear lies your problem. You young whipper snappers got it all wrong. You have to accept her rejection and/or hide your excitement for a date face to face!!!

Sheesh! When will these kids ever learn??

...and this is why I'm asking. If I were the initiator here,I would have done...nothing at all.

I don't get out much and I watch far too many movies, so my best idea thus far has been to burn something into the grass outside the bar and grab a trench coat and a boom-box with a super-cool mix tape... just hold that sucker over my head and hope for the best.

I don't think any of the quiet heroes in those classic films of my younger years ever had a note dropped in their doggy bag... so I'm guessing my first instinct might not be the one to go with.

IMO I would go back to the bar and talk to her, find out what time she gets finished and ask her out then and there.

Text messages are so impersonal and can't readily be guaranteed to be understood the exact way you mean them.

Get the tinnitus fixed so you can talk to her on the phone and whisper sweet nothings when you can't be together.

Go for it, or as an old Aussie song used to go, "Don't you ever let a chance go by no lord, don't you ever let a chance go by....."

No, no, no! Take her to the restaurant where you sweep up, fix a couple of nice TV dinners, and play the saxophone for her while she toys with the food. Bonus points if you can arrange a pair of claymation burgers to double-date with you.

Now that the obligatory silliness is out of the way, get you rear back there in person, ASAP! Show her this is important to you!

Finally, a reasonable response. In fact, I think I'll just return next monday and pretend not to have seen it... it could easily have flown out of the bag on my ride home.

I really think that I am better at acting surprised than at "small talk" or whatever it is that people do in real life.

And besides, you guys with the encouraging words about strolling back in there and having something "awesome" to say are clearly missing 2 points:

A) she gave me her number.
B) the food is not that good.
3. I am Irish and the Man Above has seen fit to give me almost no balls. This is not to say that Irishmen have unfit landing gear, the rest are probably huge.

I don't get it, you asked for advice on how to react to a hot woman giving you her number, then you say you're not going to do anything about it?

Are you mad or something? What have you got to lose? If you go in there, or call her and it works out, you win, you're better off than you are now. If you go in there or call her and she's changed her mind, you're still no worse off than you are now. Even if it's just for a ride on your bike, you may have made a new friend and who knows where that will lead.

If she gave you her number, she must be at least passing interested.
