You follow a certain set of formula, regardless of the situation

is insincerity if your friends get the number for you (and chances
are, they will probably fail), but what about friend's
introduction? I think it's kinda normal?
Even if you get their email/MSN - doesn't mean that SHE never gave
her number to other guys before you right? So it goes to show that
if you can't have their email or MSN, your formula crashes and you
are out of your wits?
What you are doing is the Dolphin Chase; guys trying to hunt down
stranger lady out on the street, hoping to pick them up. In the
first place, you have zero information about her, apart from her
physical look; that she's cute looking or whatever. So I would tell
you now, which decent lady would give her number to a stranger guy,
in view of a potential relationship with you? (Especially if she is
pretty or cute looking?)
Almost impossible unless the right setting and other factors is in
place.
Oh no, you speak about friendship first right?
Then again, which lady would try to futher potential friendship to
someone whom she has zero information about or worst, zero interest
to? (Especially if she is pretty or cute looking?) Because in the
first place, [b]it is YOU
who wanted to be her friend and NOT vice vista.
Unless say, she is open minded to such context, ultra friendly and
out-of-statistic women (which also includes very young
ladies).
Then again, such characteristic ain't the kind you are looking for.

The easier way is to have some form of friendship
connection with her. (I am using the friendster way of explaining).
Say if you are first/second degree friend, it is easier than to
randomly pick someone off the street or bar, in view of a
relationship. (That's why fling or STR (Short-term relationship) is
much more applicable instead of a proper relationship).
P.S: People needs familarity, especially ladies. You can begin when
you could satisfy this condition.
