i went to a party last night and met a woman. i thought she was with a guy who was there

but she wasnt and left alone.

how do you ask the host if she was single? should i have asked her at the party if she was dating the other guy? i dont even have a phone number or a card for her..

Contact the host, find out who she is and ask him/her to pass along your telephone number to her in hopes she'll call.

Why on earth didn't you follow her out and get her number when you saw she was leaving alone? The worst she could have done way say no and I've never heard of anyone dying from rejection.

If it's meant to be, you'll find out who this mystery woman who intrigues you is.

Good Luck!

If you're interested in finding out more, just ask the host who she is and whether she is available. Maybe the host can set up another gathering soon so you can see her again and get her number.

That is so normal for you fella's to assume that if a woman is "talking" to a guy that happens to be "hovering," then they "must" be involved. I bet the fella doing the "hovering" got her name, her number AND the possibility of a date. He "hovered" on purpose. In fact, he probably kept touching her too. I haven't met a man yet that doesn't do it. By him "hanging" around her constantly, it automatically makes other guys stay away. Hopefully in the future you will ask your host/hostess to introduce you to "them" so that you can find out if "they" aren't a "them" at all, but just some fella that "hovered" over a pretty girl so that he could dominate her all too himself. If you didn't get her number "directly" from her then she might think it a bit "creepy" for you to have it from other means. I would talk to the host/hostess and find out when the next opportunity might arise where you could casually meet her. I also hope that you have learned your lesson and will not hang around in the wings while all the interesting girls are being approached by someone else. Who's to say? She might have actually been hoping that someone like yourself would "save" her from the nonsense of whoever it was that "scared off" all possibilities of her meeting someone "she" found interesting. I am a single woman and this "scenario" happens to me regularly. But I am also one to politely tell them to stop hovering. They usually leave with a huff...... oh well. She may have only been being polite and not known how to get him away/off from her. :)

The latest newsletter I got from Lovesystems dot com covers exactly this scenario.
It's pretty simple to ask, "How do you know each other?"

there are so many ways to find out if she's single or involved. almost all of which deals with TALKING to her. i guess you didn't do that either.

sex descriminates against the ugly and the shy. what is your excuse?

asking the host isn't the most coolest thing... did you strike up a conversation with her? before she left, you should have maybe approached her and said goodbye and then asked her if she would like to meet again sometime... that would be the only sensible way to go about it. asking a girl about a bf should come later... if you have met her a few times, otherwise it comes off too strong.

I assume the host is a friend of yours? Why not just ask him? I don't see the problem. :)
