AugustSnow Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Two questions: Is it true that it's not a sign of interest if a guy gives her his phone number and tells her to call him and not ask for her number? If it's a good sign, how long should she wait until she calls him without appearing desperate? I've heard some people say if he gives her his number but not ask for his, then she should never call him, but I am very perplexed about this whole thing. Link to post Share on other sites
Gaeta Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I much prefer a man to give me his phone number than him ask for mine. I view it as a great sense of consideration for my privacy as I am a woman and don't want just any joe blow walking around with my phone number. Lets make one thing clear here. A woman showing her interest in a 'normal fashion' is not being cligny. Text the guy after a couple of days. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Oregon_Dude Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 When things are going well over OKCupid or whatever, I always give my number out. And they always text me. It shows confidence and puts the ball in her court. She's not worried about me stalking her. Win/win. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Author AugustSnow Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 I messed up the title, and I tried to make another thread with the correct title, but it got deleted. Anyways, I also wanted to add that I have heard that if a guy gives a woman his number, but doesn't ask her for hers that that means that he hold himself to a higher value than the woman. Is there any truth to that? Link to post Share on other sites

sid3 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I gave a cute lady my number a week or so ago. I did so due to a language barrier as well as attempting to be respectful. I'm not surprised I haven't heard from her yet, I figure she must be extremely shy. Her loss as I'm awesome. Link to post Share on other sites

I think anyone who's that picky about number-exchanges isn't worth dating IMO. Then again I'm FakeBatman so what would I know 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author AugustSnow Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 I wasn't being picky. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't misreading anything. I went ahead and texted him and let him know that I enjoyed the conversation with him earlier and he said he felt the same way. He then asked if I was busy and I told him I wasn't at that moment. Long story short, he called, and he started bashing women. How it started was when I asked he said he was home alone and him being isolated. I asked him why is that, and the first thing he said was lying, cheating and deceitful women and I could hear the bitterness in his tone. He even said he doesn't talk to his parents anymore. That kind of stuff upsets me because I just lost my parents not too long ago. You only have one set of parents and he came across as ungrateful brat to me. The conversation went south after that. I was so glad when that conversation ended. I hope to never hear from him again. Link to post Share on other sites

J21 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I dunno where you are getting these rules but it's nonsense. You are over thinking it IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
TunaCat Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 It's a good sign. It sucks, but women overall have to be more careful about who they give out their numbers to. If a guy gives his to a woman, but doesn't ask for hers, he is comfortable with her taking the initiative (some guys are traditionalists and want to make the first move) Or at least that's how I see it. As for the waiting before calling so as not to appear desperate, I call BS on that. As a woman, if I'm given the number of someone I am interested in, I'd call them that day. That shows major interest. If a guy is put off by the fact that I called on the same day he gave me his number, then he wouldn't be the one for me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

A woman showing her interest in a 'normal fashion' is not being cligny. Text the guy after a couple of days. Yes, and the guy just needs to make it clear the he's doing this out of respect to her. Otherwise she might just think he's being a big weeny. Link to post Share on other sites

A woman showing her interest in a 'normal fashion' is not being cligny. Text the guy after a couple of days. The very reason why I approach the tall, busty, voluptuous honey with the nice booty and legs that go one for miles. She is worth my attention. If I'm not worth hers, she will let me know by not making contact and that's ok. On to the next woman. I have no desire to feed the ego of any plain jane who yaps to her girlfriends about the phone number she got only to discard it and continue collecting numbers from other guys LOL! Then again, I don't go for plain janes anyways. More importantly the main reason why I don't ask for her number? Answer. There are nuff girls when approached who give fake phone numbers in return. It's ego feeding satisfaction for them. Link to post Share on other sites

sandylee1 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Back in the day I was told this meant he liked you. Otherwise he'd ask for your number and not bother calling. Unless of course he's given you a fake number. Link to post Share on other sites
