Thread fishing line through the eye of the hook or swivel then fold it over the eye so the tag (short) end runs parallel with the main (long) line for at least 6 inches (15 cm). Keeping the lines doubled, wrap the tag end back up and over the 2 lines to create a small loop on 1 side. Make sure you are wrapping the tag end around both the lines but not the loop. Put 1 hand near the eye of the hook and the other on the tag end. It can be helpful to moisten the end of the line to improve your grip when tightening the coils. Apply a little lip balm to the lines to keep them moist. Hold the main line in 1 hand and pull down as you use the other hand to slide the coils toward the eye to snug up the knot to hook or swivel. Use a knife or scissors to carefully trim any excess off the tag end.

You don't want to end up in the situation where he so regrets that you got hold of his number that he goes and changes it just to be rid of your texting and calls! The phone number is just a small step in growing your relationship, so spend a lot of time on all the other important aspects, such as getting to know him face-to-face and hanging out together. Use the phone as a tool to make meet-ups, not an excuse to pour out your heart. Don't text him too much. Good job if you get his number, but don't annoy him and make him regret his decision. Be mature with what you say, and have fun!
