I agree Vicente, because she was embarrassed/shy due to nobody did the first step to exchange phone numbers.
So here is my translation:
I don't know if I did the right thing by not asking him for his phone number, and waiting for him to ask either Ricky or me for mine. I know he has already asked Ricky for my phone number, but I was embarrassed/shy, you know..

Actually Canencia, I think it will probably flow better if you'd say:
"I agree (with) Vicente, because she was embarrased/shy due (to the fact) that nobody (had taken) the first step to exchange phone numbers.

canencia

Now....I AGREE WITH YOU.
My native language is Spanish, so it is easy for me to see that a couple missed to exchange phone numbers. I'm not a translator, however I love to joint the forum and try to improve my poor English.

Canencia, I'd love to help you anytime you want. Here is a tip that might help you with your learning of the language; when you are watching your favourite movie, change the language setting of your DVD to "English". You'll be amazed at how much of the language (English) you will pick up. Don't forget to turn the spanish subtitles off!

Keep up the good work! :

BTW (By The Way), agree with you is correct!

Hi there! What's going on here?

Vicente... your suggestions are always very useful. I always learn a lot with you.

Though the Spanish version is not that clear, your interpretation sounds perfect to me!

"I don't know if I did the right thing by not asking him for his phone number, and waiting for him to ask either Ricky or me (for mine). I know he has already asked Rickyfor it, but I was embarrassed, you know.."

Best regards to you all!

Canencia, I had a look at it. I will send some suggestions when I get a minute.

Oh no vicente, your suggestions are OK, in fact they are invaluable. It is the fact that you said that your translation was the best, and (implied) that only you knew how to speak the language properly; that bothered me.

This is what you said, and I quote you:

And certainly you could omit the "for it" in my translation but in the U.S. most people would write it that way.
In that regard I believe my version would be better understood in the U.S.

I don't agree with either of your previous statements, but YOU are OK!
