Get her number when she mentions switching apps
She wants to move off the dating app. Use that momentum to exchange numbers before she disappears into the void.
When she says she's been wanting to switch to a new app, she's usually signalling that the dating app feels limited or slow. She might mean texting, Instagram, or something else. What matters: she's ready to take the conversation somewhere else.
This is actually your opening. Most guys either ignore the hint or panic and ask for her number too formally. The move is to acknowledge her comment naturally, make it about continuing the conversation (not securing her contact), and suggest the switch before she loses interest or matches with someone else who acts faster.
A good reply treats the app switch as a normal next step, not a big ask. It shows you're on the same page about wanting to actually talk.

She's already halfway out the door
When she volunteers that she wants to switch apps, she's not testing you. She's bored with the current platform and ready to move. The dating app conversation has an expiration date on it. If you stay in the app for three more messages back and forth, she'll either match with someone who moved faster or she'll just stop replying.
She's also signalling that she's willing to give you her number. People don't say this to guys they're not interested in. The hard part is already done.
Make the switch feel obvious, not like a question
Your reply should acknowledge what she said, agree with her (don't make her right), and propose the next step as a natural continuation. The goal is to sound like you both want the same thing and you're just making it happen.
Do not ask her permission or phrase it like a request. Avoid 'Can I get your number' or 'Want to exchange numbers.' Instead, treat it like an obvious move: suggest you text her, mention the app you're switching to, or just indicate that texting makes sense. Let her respond with her number rather than forcing her to negotiate the terms.
Send it fast and don't chase if she ghosts
Reply within a few hours. The longer you wait, the less momentum there is. She might have said that to three other guys too, and one of them will move first.
If she gives you her number, great. Text her within a day or two with something short that builds on what you were talking about. If she doesn't respond to your suggestion to switch apps, move on. She either got distracted, matched with someone else, or wasn't as interested as the message made her seem. Do not send a follow-up message asking why or trying to convince her.
Why these replies fail
“haha yeah i hate this app too. so what's your number”
It jumps straight to the ask without building any momentum, making it feel like you only cared about getting her digits
“that's great that you want to switch! let me know if you ever want to move this to text”
You're agreeing but then passing the work back to her, giving her the job of deciding whether to text you
“texts way better. whats your number”
The casual tone helps but the message is still just a demand for digits with no attempt to continue the conversation naturally
Common mistakes
- Asking for her number without addressing what she said first, making it feel transactional
- Agreeing but then not actually suggesting the switch, leaving her to do the work
- Getting too formal or stiff about it, like you're nervous about asking
- Waiting too long to suggest it, letting momentum die over multiple messages
- Acting like you're doing her a favor by texting her instead of staying on the app
Questions people ask
- Should I suggest a specific app or just texting?
- Keep it simple and suggest texting. It's direct, universal, and she'll know what you mean. If she wants to use Instagram or something else, she can say so when she gives you her number.
- What if she gives me her number but never responds to my first text?
- Send one text that continues the conversation you were having. Wait three to five days. If nothing, move on. Do not send a second message or ask why she ghosted. It happens and there's no recovery move.
- How long should I wait to message her after she gives me her number?
- Text her within 24 hours. The sooner the better, as long as it's during normal waking hours. A few hours is ideal. If you wait more than a day, you lose the momentum from the conversation.
- Should I make a joke about leaving the app when I text her?
- No. You've already bonded over that. Move into a new topic when you text her, something that builds on what you know about her or something that invites her to reply.

“Used it for a couple hours and set up a date the same night. Not even kidding.”
