A friend of mine and I were discussing and the topic of giving a new woman your business card to reach you if, for some reason, you can't collect hers e.g. your phone is dead, no pen, in a hurry, etc and the reason is obvious/made known to her.

He says he has noticed that none of them actually use it, no matter how good the flow was between them.
I think I also remember this behavior waaay back in the day though I never thought much about it.
A conversation would only transpire if he met them again by coincidence and collected their number for real, afterwards the usual process occurs, so obviously it's not a case of her not feeling him.

Women share why this is. Would you miss out on the love of your life because you are too chicken to connect with him with his card? Do you hold meeting on the matter with your jealous friends who tell you you would be fuccing up by using the card? Or is this just another fickle behavior attributed to your gender due to fish brain etc?

Do share

Good question.. Ive never contacted any guy first who gave me his card. It just seems too formal. But the ones that contacted me I dated..

Example.. a psychotherapist gave me his card ... I never used it.. but he called me and started flirting.. We dated for a while.. I think its too awkward to call from a card though. It seems too businessy

Hmmm

In otherwords, women are chickens

Yes... I suppose.. But its just my nature I would never call a guy first anyway.

I think sniper summarized it already. It makes the whole thing looks too formal. If it were to be like you already started a conversation and the circumstances surrounding the whole thing makes it difficult to get the lady's number or give out your number in an informal way, that's a different case. But some random guy slipping out his business card, dt's a lil bit on the weird side.

Ain't every thing business these days?

Should punny hunting be too?

Depends who the person is but if I was let say attracted, then I don't mind contacting. Normally, I just email leaving my number for them to call.

I actually prefer business cards than exchanging numbers because it can be quite awkward standing let's say in a busy street, shopping mall, bar giving a number out. I don't like doing it so I'll rather someone hands me their business card. Plus, I will know what they do so to know whether to call or not.
