Are you looking for answers about problems with your AOL service?

I’d like to recommend that you ask AOL directly since they are best suited to help you.

For AOL support, you can visit the AOL support site or even call them at an AOL toll free number.

just asking for the email is good enough
and it’s not that awkward sounding

What, it’s true!
Take it from a girl. If a guy wants my email they should just say so.
Confidence is key.
I’m being honest. No jerkiness intended

Nope…Most people wouldn’t think a thing of it especially if you are good friends.

Yeah, no reason needed. I can’t imagine anyone turning around and saying ‘why?’ and if she does, just be honest. You wanna chat.

I think asking for her email straightforward is okay considering that you are friends.

But if you’re awkward about it, I have ideas.
1.) Find a very funny email. Tell her about it. Casually slip it in the conversation. Then say it’s really funny but it’s better when she reads it for herself. Then go “I should forward it to you. Wait. I don’t think I have your email address. What your add?”

Alternatives to the plan: Find a very public warning email. It has to be something that is serious and factual. E.g. FDA (USA) advisory: all drugs containing Phenyl… are being recalled. Please stop taking them. It’s been linked to stroke,seizures… check out www.fda.gov/cder/drug/infopage/ppa

Tell her that it’s important that she knows what medicines to avoid. and tell her that she should inform her loved ones too.

2.) Find out if she has something that she could send to you through email. Then tell her “send it though email.” Then give her your address.

This could be pictures, school related files etc.

I still think that being honest is the best plan here though.

If you’re in one of her classes (preferably English or Journalism or something where you write a lot of papers), get to know her a bit, then ask if she can help you proof read your papers over email. That’ll work.

Sure. I’m glad to help. Good choice on being honest. So did you get her email already?
