| How To Get A Friend Number On Facebook |
Step 1: The Reconnaissance Round
Tip: Reading on mobile? Zoom in for better comfort.
- Subheading: Facebook Stalking...Ethically Let's be honest, a little social media snooping never hurt anyone (wink). Their profile picture might be from 2012, but have they tagged themselves at a restaurant you frequent? This is your golden opportunity! Casually comment, "Hey, I saw you were at [Restaurant Name]! Love their [Specific Dish]. Maybe we should grab some sometime?" This plants the seed of a potential hangout and subtly nudges them towards a phone number exchange.

Subheading: Dropping Hints Like a Boss Sometimes, you gotta be a little more direct. Here are some conversation starters that ooze nonchalance:
- "Ugh, my phone died and I can't get a hold of my [Delivery App]! Anyone have [Friend's Name]'s number? Pizza depends on it!" Double bonus points if it's a Friday night.
- "Just joined this new group chat app, but I can only invite people by phone number. Wanna join the meme mayhem?"
Step 3: The Hail Mary (For the Daring Only)
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.

Subheading: Because Sometimes You Gotta Be Bold This tactic is for the adventurous. If the above methods fail, and you're feeling a Hunger Games level of desperation, boldly message them:
"Listen, we've been crushing these Facebook memes together for weeks, but jokes are way funnier when they're not delivered through text alerts. Hit me with your number, friend!"
Remember: Confidence is key, people!
Important Note: If all else fails, there's always the good ol' fashioned "Hey, what's your number?" approach. Just be prepared for a response that might involve carrier pigeons or smoke signals.
Disclaimer: These are just tips, and success is never guaranteed. There's a chance your friend might be a social media recluse who communicates solely through interpretive dance videos. But hey, at least you tried, right? Now go forth and friend-zone-phone-number-extract with reckless abandon!
