If a guy gives you his number...

[supawoman]

I need an answer from the guys here (or girls). This guy I've fancied for ages came up to me a few days ago and asked if I'd do him a favour (I'd only been talking to him a couple of times before), he wanted me to check out something for him at work and he said he'd give me his number and I could text him about it. Does that mean anything?? Be completely honest with me here!

[wickedbusa]

Call him back, you never know. I actually gave my number to the girl I am dating now and she called me back. We have gone out a couple of times and it has been nothing short of wonderful!!! If you are interested in him, why not give him a call. If I gave you my number and you called me back, I would like it

[Jamiegirl]

I think that this may mean something. He did give his number I think maybe he needed an excuse to give you the number so he didnt have to say he was interested. who knows some guys are shy like that and have a hard time approachinf girls.

Well, it's "the thing to do" when a guy wants to know you better and gives you his number. So then it's your own free will to call or not. I thought the "text message" thing you've mentioned were quite interesting, why not just phone?? I guess perhaps he's much more comfortable with text messaging than talking on the phone.

 

I think it can be a sign of a friendly gesture (to get to know you better), or it can be a courting strategy for a non-aggressive guy's approach. The only way to find out is to call him.

[supawoman]

I guess I'll have to. Yeah we're both kinda shy so texting would definitely be better but maybe he just wants the info from me and that's it. I dunno, I spose I'll find out when I do text him...

Thanks

Well, you can text him about whatever info he wants, but then add a little something else after that. Ask him a question, or make a comment that could lead to more texting/conversation.

 

I made the mistake once of being too "to the point" with one guy and I regretted it. He called about one thing, and I simply answered his question, and that was it. I think he might have been interested, because we'd had some interaction before the call.

 

If you leave the door open with your guy, then if he's interested, he'll walk through. If it's really just about getting info from you, then at least you'll know. Good luck!

[supawoman]

That's a really good idea, I'm gonna try that. Now I just have to figure out what else to say...

Thank you!

[Spirits Away]

That is an awesome idea.

Tell us how it went, we wanna know

[supawoman]

Yeah it is, I'll let ya know tomorrow night cos I have to go back to work first, to get the info he wants.

[supawoman]

Ah he called in to the office instead and I was on lunch AHHHH! He asked for me but one of the other girls had to deal with him. I'm so mad cos I've no excuse to text him now. Grr!

[supawoman]

So, should I text him anyway or would that be too obvious??

[Celadon]

AArgh! Sorry to hear it happened that way.

 

Well, is it possible for you to text him and make sure he got what he wanted? Like, 'just checking to see if you got the info you needed. I can help you with additional stuff if you want.' Or does he know that you know he got helped already?

[Spirits Away]

hehe

 

I think if he's interested in you, there's no need to rush things. We hardly back off once we're interested in a girl. But just don't lead it to one of those mind games or else the chances of you guys getting to know each other will become slim

[supawoman]

I did it! And I'm beginning to regret it now cos he hasn't answered back. Ah I'm scared!

[Celadon]

Supawoman, I'm glad you did it! I know it's a little scary putting yourself out there, but I still think that's better than wondering "what if ..."

 

We're all afraid of being too obvious, but I don't think that texting him is as obvious as, say, throwing yourself all over him at bar.

 

I hope you do hear back from him! But even right now, you can be proud of yourself that you are the kind of woman who takes action when she cares about something. It's better to take a little risk than be a coward. No risk, no reward. It shows you have confidence.

 

If he doesn't respond this time, just wait, like Spirit's Away said. There may come another opportunity, or he may contact you for another reason. Don't stress too much about it, okay?

[supawoman]

Yeah, it's weird but I'm kinda glad I did it, even though I know he's not gonna text me back now. It'll be interesting to see if he says anything when I see him in a few days...

[Celadon]

Great! Let us know.

[Spirits Away]

Exciting eh =)

[Senbonita]

It was fun, I hope you come back and tell us what happened cause Im all up in your business now girl! Go supawoman, its your Birthday
