How to ask for her number after two weeks of short replies
Get her number when she's been lukewarm. Stop the slow fade by shifting the conversation to real life.
Two weeks of matching with only short replies is a stall. She's not rejecting you, but she's not invested yet either. Short responses mean she's not thinking about you between messages, and the chat itself isn't moving anywhere. If you keep texting the same way, this dies quietly.
Getting her number here isn't about being smoother or funnier. It's about cutting through the low-energy exchange and proposing something real. Moving to a call or in-person plan makes her decide: yes or no. Right now she's in the middle, costing you time.
A good ask does two things at once. It shows you're not settling for text pings, and it gives her a concrete reason to care. You're not asking for her number to keep texting. You're asking because you want to move forward.

Two weeks of short replies means she's not curious
When someone is interested, they ask questions. They send longer messages. They match your energy or add to it. Short replies after two weeks tells you she's responding out of politeness or habit, not because she's thinking about who you are.
This isn't about her being cold. It's that the text thread hasn't earned her attention. She gets a notification, she glances, she types three words. That's the pattern. Staying in it another week won't change it. The longer you text like this, the more she gets used to you as someone who fills time, not someone who matters.
Move the ask into real stakes
Your number request needs to do two jobs. First, it has to name a real reason you want it. Not "we should talk more." Something like a call to hash out plans, or a specific thing you want to do together, or at minimum a time when you'd actually use it. Second, it needs to make the next step feel lighter than it sounds. You're not asking her to commit to anything. You're asking for a number so you can follow through on something already half-agreed.
The ask works best when it's casual and brief. One sentence. No buildup, no explanation of why texting isn't enough. If she says no or goes silent, that's your answer about what she wants.
Send it once, then stop texting
Send your ask during daytime, when she's likely to see it fast. Give it 3-4 days. If she gives you the number, great. If she doesn't reply or sends a short deflection, don't follow up with another message or a softer version of the same ask. She understood.
Don't text her again after that. You've said what you needed to say. Texting more at this point is you trying to convince her, and it never works. Either she texts back with her number or a reason to stay in touch, or the conversation is done.
Why these replies fail
“haha cool, by the way could I get your number so we can keep talking?”
It attaches the ask to nothing real and assumes texting more is what she wants, which her short replies already told you it's not.
“you seem really interesting, I'd love to talk on the phone sometime. what do you think?”
It puts the decision entirely on her without you suggesting an actual time, and the compliment feels like it's trying to soften her up.
“I feel like we'd get along better over text if we could just call lol, let me know”
It's wishy-washy about what you want and sounds like you're negotiating instead of proposing something.
Common mistakes
- Asking for her number without any reason ("can I get your number?") makes it feel random and puts pressure on her to decide about a stranger.
- Sending one more joke or compliment first thinking that will warm her up, it won't, and it extends the dead zone.
- Being vague about why you want it ("we should talk more") instead of naming a real next step.
- Asking via text after two weeks when a simple voice message or call request is faster and more honest.
- Waiting for her to ask for yours or show more interest first, at this point, you have to move or walk.
Questions people ask
- Should I ask for her number or suggest a call first?
- If you want to move fast, suggest a call time and ask for her number so you can call. That gives her one clear thing to say yes or no to. A vague call offer without the number just extends the conversation.
- What if she gives me her number but then doesn't reply when I text it?
- Give it one day. Then call her instead. A call is harder to ignore than a text, and it respects that she gave you the number. If she doesn't pick up, you have your answer.
- Is two weeks actually too long to be getting short replies?
- Yes. By day four or five, if someone is interested, the conversation usually has more energy or they've already moved to a call or plan. Two weeks of short replies means the other person is not sold on continuing.
- What if I ask for her number and she says she prefers to text?
- She's avoiding the ask. Texting is already what you're doing, and it's not working. Don't push. You can say "cool, let me know when you want to link up" and leave it there. If she comes back with a real plan, you know she was just nervous.
- Should I wait longer or try sending better messages first?
- No. Better messages won't fix low investment. You've had two weeks to build momentum through text and it hasn't worked. The only thing that changes the dynamic is a real conversation or plan. Asking for her number does that.
