Looking for women's opinions about disposing phone numbers

If that's what you want to do, mate.

I would say at least keep the ones that aren't useless to you.

If you're looking for one thing from a girl and she's not offering, you don't have to waste your time or hers.

But try to ponder what the benefits of having her around would be.
If you honestly see none and she seems non-instrumental to you, then by all means, delete.

Just try to look at them as if they were male friends. If you have to stop and think "why the hell would I want to keep this person around? They're totally useless!", then you needn't bother.

If that's what you want to do then it's fine. It's not really super harsh since you're not obligated to be friends with someone that you like but doesn't feel the same way about you. Maybe it's too painful to be friends with someone that you have feelings for?

Some of the best relationships begin as friendships. Don't you think it's worth hanging on to those phone numbers for girls that would make good friends? I hear guys say sometimes that they enjoy having female friends for a female perspective on things. In addition, how do you know that eventually the friendship won't progress into one of the best relationships you've ever had?

Food for thought.

you're acting like a child. if a girl isn't interested in you in that way, you don't see any value in just being friends? that's like a little kid who knocks over the entire display of Tonka trucks because his mom won't buy him one. besides, girls can change their minds about people and if you just burn your bridges, like you're doing, then you're really putting yourself at a disadvantage.
