What should I say to this girl?

    Basically, I was out last night, and I met this really cool girl, and we hit it off right away. At the end of the night she gave me her number to call her.
    Unfortunatly, I didn't give her mine, and when I got home, I realised that I had forgotten to press save, and had completely lost her number. Aaaaggghhh!!!!

    I thought about whether I could find her some other way. I knew which college she went to, and her first name was quite unusual, so I did a quick search on myspace, and found her profile.

    Now, I want to contact her, but I'm afraid that I might come across as some sort of creepy cyberstalker, for tracking her down this way. Does anyone have any advice for what to say in my message, to avoid coming across this way?

    maybe tell the truth... that you lost her number+ typed her name into a search etc.... she'd prob find it quite amusing... (it might be creepy if her name was common+ it took ages to find... you might get away with it, as her name is unusual..)

    'Hey, lost your number the other night, sorry I forgot to press save! But, luckily it's pretty easy to find anyone online these days. Did you have a good night?'

    Something along those lines.

    Contact her, tell her she was easy to find and that you lost her number. Go for it. She probably wont think you're a "cyberstalker". If she does, forget her.

    You have no other choice. She too may be cursing that she doesn't have your number and wondering why you haven't called.

    Try honesty?

    ya i like what spinandscribble says, honesty and all that, it will give you both something to laugh about and definitely not a cyberstalker

    Thanks for the advice. I sent a message based on spinandscribble's idea. Wish me luck.

    ??? Why does she have to know if you looked her up? She doesn't know you lost her number.

    Well, I think what he meant was going to send her a message on myspace.
    Myspace doesn't give out phone numbers.

    truth is in situations like this, its best to put yourself in the other persons shoes and write what you'd like to read yourself if you were them.

    That is the best advice right there...
