Next situation, you could say 'hey, it was great talking with you! Are you free to meet up over coffee sometime?' From that you know if he's available (but not if he's single).

If he says 'yes' I, personally, would ask for his #. Two reasons: 1. it's your invite and you can control it and 2. as a women, just a precaution not to give out any personal information until there's trust.

You need to go on another ride~!

I really didn't want to vote "give him the #" but there wasn't one which said
[] "ask for his # so you can ask for him, next time you need a ride"

LOL! Seriously, I think there's nothing wrong with giving your # if you're comfortable doing so.

Nothing wrong with slipping him your number. Grab opportunities when they arise.?

Life is short and full of mistakes. Why not take a leap and see if one of those mistakes works out?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained! Definitely should have given it to him.

It's not inappropriate to hit on someone on the job if you feel a mutual connection and/or they are going beyond their job description to communicate with you.

I feel like I make mistakes all the time. I assume every woman isn’t interested in me. I start with that framework.

never miss an opportunity

I've given my number to a cashier at a store. He called. ?
It's inappropriate to give your number to a customer, not the other way around. Unless, of course, you're in a massage clinic or at the gynecologist office. ?

Move when opportunities present themselves. We only live once.

you don't ask, you don't get

As far as I know, it's ok to hit on men while they are working.
I'd never hit on a woman at work unless she was already letting me know it was ok somehow.

That type of job he probably gets it a lot and you need to way up the odds . A ) will you be extremely lucky and get a really nice guy . Or b ) get the guy who sleeps around while his wife is at home with the kids

I've been there. Imagination is a cruel thing. We can fill in the gaps with positive fantasies which lead us to think we've denied ourselves a life of happiness.

But in reality we don't know the other person. And I would also think about all the other women who might get in his taxi in the future. Would they be taken by his looks too. Would another phone number be added to his private contacts list?

Male beauty is very powerful. Our culture doesn't acknowledge this for some reason.

My brother was a cab driver and there are women who phone one just to have sex with the driver. The office gets to know who they are and sends the appropriate guy

I'm wondering how different this might have been if he had been an actual taxi driver. Who started and kept that conversation going? Would that have played out in an actual taxi?

That’s pretty funny, actually but I know the feelin exactly! I think it is time to get out more, stretch out of your comfort zone. I am trying some meet ups, etc...

Life as they say is too shit and too short - grab any opportunity you can for happiness.

You're paying him for the ride and he's relying on you to provide a good rating for his service. You might be reading too much into his good conversation.

Wear the green shorts, there will be more opportunities that manifest themselves.
