buzzie2 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I asked this guy I liked out, saying we should go out sometime. He looked nervous and then gave me his number. He had been flirting with me for months but had never asked me out. He is a bit on the shy side. He told me to call him whenever I wanted. But when I asked him if he wanted my number he said no, just call me. Why wouldn't he want my number?

MrCastle Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Could very well just be a shy thing. I do this sometimes just to guage interest level. Plus it puts a twist on things. I'll say--"Here's my number. Call me sometime." Puts the ball in her court, and shows where her interest level is at if she's willing to call me.
miss_jaclynrae Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I do it all the time at school when working on a project with a classmate: Me: Here's my number, call me. Them: Want mine? Me: No it's ok. In other words, I gave you my number, Ill put it in my phone when you contact me.
Jamone Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 In my experience of being a shy guy myself, girls often take my number with the usual "yeah we'll definitely meet up and do something" but never call. I suppose if you give him a ring then he'll know for sure you're interested. If he's anything like me he's probably been rejected a few times, which dents the ego a bit. If he doesn't have your number then he can't call/text when he gets the urge to...that way he doesn't stand the chance of getting rejected. That's my take on it anyway.
Feelin Frisky Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 too shy to initiate phone calls maybe.....ask him and you will know then what the real reason is....deb ^ most likely the answer. If he's shy--has this particular brand of social anxiety--it is likely that he'll over-think and obsess about it to the point that when he calls he probably would tip off his nervousness in voice flutter or saying something out of order and then be very harsh on himself if he thinks he screwed it up. He might even be booting himself in the butt right now for not taking your number. I know it all seems silly but shyness can be a mountain at first for a lot of people. (Then, like me, after the ice is broken they drop trow as if they've been intimate for years:laugh:).
