The complexity of getting married

Sign your name. How will she know who it is?

At this rate I would have to take multiple re-births to find out the conclusion of mamoon's love story :tanvir
 
Going into contacts and texts of another person's phone is terribly rude.

Oh wait just tell her that u were adding ur phone number to ur cousin's phone as he had the wrong number so u had to go to 'contacts' and u then fell upon her number.
 
You don't go to contacts to add a number. You dial it on the number pad and press the add to contacts button. You don't have to go through the other contacts.

The moment has come, blimey.

U wanted to re check after saving it so went to contacts.
 
Text seems fine.

I was thinking the same - that is exactly what she'd ask you.. "How'd you get my number?"

So what options do we have here?

A) you can tell her the truth (and risk spilling all the beans)
B) you can tell her the half-truth (lost my contacts, asked a cousin to forward everyone else's numbers to me.. she sent me yours too) - this one's lame, I know.
C) Or you can just be coy about it...... "I have my sources ;)"

Lets see what everyone else has to say about this.
 
Now that everything is looking bleak, you can simply text her and if she asks about how you got the number, say this (here's my past post):

"Oh yeah, actually I was talking to [common cousin name] that day and the topic veered towards the family dinner we all had. I told her that that dinner was fun and it was nice to hang out with my cousins and maybe I should plan something where we cousins just get to meet and go out somewhere. She asked me - "ok fine but do you have the number of all the cousins" for which I said no and so she gave me the numbers I didn't have including yours."

Just say the event never materialized. Maybe sometime in the future.

So go ahead and text her. Its a chance you have to take considering every other avenue is gone.

Now you have a ready made chance to enquire about her (her not coming to this event). Play the curiosity angle and most likely she will be fine with it.

Actually B is the best. Tell her that u lost all ur contacts and u told ur cousin to forward all the family contacts and hence got her's as well.

A question to you cos you are a girl - Would you be cool with it?

I don't see anything wrong with it but just enquiring.

Personally, I would raise my eyebrow at it, but would tell my mother about it.

Yet, this will make me think about the guy in question for a very, very long while.

It can come down to personality as well. I detest cheap thrills, and have thankfully never been wooed like that.. But this is different, firstly its in the family (so there's lesser pressure as compared to pursuing a totally random girl). And secondly, I feel PB's more "out there" (given Mamoon's take on her tweets and all). She might just enjoy the chase.

Either way, I don't think she can just shoulder past that easily. A coy reply like that is likely to linger on in her mind for a while. And perhaps, that could be the breakthrough required in Mamoon's case..

It's almost like inception :batman:

Might just work, but it would have to be worded really well..

Or Mamoon could just combine B and C. Say C first, then judge her - if she gets too defensive, say B.

No, i don't think so. It will show that Mamoon respects her and will do the way she wants it.

Perhaps, this could be a contingency plan if C and B fail, respectively - it would just prove that PB feels nothing for our boy here, and he'll be better off pursuing something else.

Might make that good, final impression as a method of last resort, but nothing more.

Haha...thanks for the reply.

Wanted a female's take on it.

Yeah "C" does have its value.
 
Personally speaking, I would first go with "C".

If things are not going well, I would tell her the slightly lie version of A (as mentioned in my post above).
 
The message on her inquiring about the source , " If you mind having me your number then i could delete it "

Certainly, appeasing is better than offending.

With all due respects bud, a female will lose all respect for you if you do that.

Its what most guys would do. Get someone's number somehow and get defensive the moment they are put in a little bit of pressure.
 
Lets wait for her reply (if she does in the first place).

Maybe she won't ask me how I got her number? :yk2

Definitely, this is the right move if she insists about the source.

He could tell her that as she did not like his move , he would completely retreat rather than becoming a cause of discomfort to her.

. How is this for a follow up text? :yk

Kidding of course, trying to lighten my mood for the next extremely nervous 13 mins.
 
Its important to have a plan.

In a panic you might mess up it. Especially if there is an uncomfortable delay in replying when she asks THAT question. So think it over now.

Do iPhones in Pakistan show if the recipient has read the message? With a "Read" or tick etc? I'm not sure if that is to do with the network or not.

Do you think girls like aggressive guys who will keep intruding her time and again?
 
Yeah, and do keep us posted should you find yourself in a confused state.. (which I've a feeling you most definitely will :)) )

Anyhow, good luck! The wailee quom here at PP will be here to help :P

Yes if your iMessage is on. She has an iPhone but her iMessage isn't working I guess.

Otherwise could have texted her all night for free. Now have 4 texts only and no friends come to aid when you need them.

All the 1000 posts are multiplied by zero then.

Don't send her second sms unless she replies, just don't.
 
Mamoon describe your feelings?

This is one of those moments when Misbah tries a reverse sweep to win a final against India, the ball gets high in the air and you don't know whether it will go over the head of the fielder or not.
 
Should I add my name or not? quick. I want to get over with it.
 
Ease off on those emotions, bro. Wouldn't want to scare of PB now when you're FINALLY going to make a move.

Pait kharab hogaya hai. :dav
 
I hope everything's okay?***

The reason for that is because I feel it adds a tad formality to the text.

EDIT: You need to stop delaying this, bro. This is more frustrating for us
 
Go to sleep. I doubt if she'd reply immediately. Might be sleeping. :yk2
 
not sure about "missed you". Gives away your intention cos the message is out of the blue.

Nah, I think he implies that generally she was "missing," and he felt her absence as opposed to Mamoon directly "missing" PB.

Adding we should make it a little better. Shows that as a mezbaan/host, he missed her.
Hey, we missed you today. Hope everything's okay?
- Mamoon
