Women are a worse pursuit than video games. I actually stopped playing video games for 5 whole years to "put myself out there more" in my late twenties and I found it was entirely a waste. Just balance things better. If your buddy invites you out, actually go out, don't say no. Take time to do things etc...
Also, getting women's phone numbers is pointless these days. Instead of asking women for a phone number you should be asking to come over to your place sometime and then if they agree, you get their phone number. Don't go on dates with women, just bring them straight over to your place.
Getting a phone number, cool. Depending on the setting that doesn't really mean much, though.
Give a woman your phone number. If she has any interest she will hit you up. The way to do this depends largely on the setting and how you've interacted. Don't be a d-bag and leave your number on receipts for the waitress expecting results.
If you feel rapport with a woman and she seems reciprocal say "Hey, I would love to do (whatever activity) with you but I'm pretty busy, hit me up at (number) so we can set something up"
It doesn't have to be something dedicated, like hiking or wall climbing, either. You can frame this around a coffee/bar date. "I would love to know more about your thoughts on..." "Your taste in music is objectively shit, why?" "So where are you really from?"
I'm obviously kidding around a bit but giving women my number without taking theirs cut down on a lot of what I guess is called "low value women" these days.
