Yes. Sometimes it's just about the fact that you were able to get the number. Sometimes you just want options, and sometimes you're genuinely interested. Now, usually it's the latter, but it's tough to say.
If I didn't have a cell phone with me I might write it down then lose it, and be pissed. Of if I felt the connection wasn't that great I wouldn't waste my time calling. Nowadays I think if you are going to ask for a number you should call it, otherwise you just wasted your time (and hers) talking to her. Some guys are shy or don't know what to say for good phone conversation. Dealing with women and being the initiator and often the leader of interactions can be a difficult skill to learn. a lot of girls give out their numbers and it doesn't mean they are interested, so a guy can say if girls don't really care why should I? Two wrongs don't make a right, and for every guy that burned you like this, if you do it to the next guy you just help repeat the cycle. If he asks for your number and he didn't call when he said he would, (unless there is a valid reason he tells you) his word kinda sucks and you should forget about it and move on.
Or how about this a girl gives you her number without you asking and when you call her she gives all these excuses why not to talk or hang out or even worse she don't answer her phone? why do girls do that?
Because you're coming off as needy? Or I never give my number to people I'm certainly not interested in. She might have second thoughts about you? - 10 months ago

Yeah right....Im not a nerd for one and if I've known the person for over ten years and they've known my family then that's kind of awkward don't you think? - 10 months ago
I've done this a few times, gotten the girls number and never called. Usually I'm drunk and making worser decision. I don't call because I either don't remember or am afraid of what I've said in my drunken state to want to deal with it for the call.
Lesson: if you're dealing with a drunk guy, make sure your guy remembers you or don't expect him to call you.
He was sober... Very sober. On the other hand, I was the drunk... After 1 glass of wine. - 10 months ago

You know... when guys go out to clubs / bars it's to meet girls and get numbers. Sometimes it's just the goal of the night and after we get the number our confidence gets better. The number is simply a task to be accomplished regardless of interest. - 10 months ago
I think it's simple; if you get the number you should call. Otherwise, why get it? Plus, it's kind of rude not to call. Seems kind of like making a date, then not showing up. I do agree though, it can make you extremely nervous doing it. I guess you should never get a girl's number if you don't think you can follow through.
I've gotten a number before. Then I made the stupid decision to drink a lot more. I then made a stupider move and pulled out the number to show it to my friend. When I woke up from my drunken sleep, the number was gone. DAMN YOU ALCOHOL!!!!!! DAMN YOU!!!!!
Haha, this was definitely not the case with the guy I spoke with... He was driving that day... Hm, no offence, but you guys suck. Nah, I'm over it. I was kinda dreading it anyways... Totally double standard! - 10 months ago
Why did you get too nervous? The girl was out of your league or you were too shy? - 10 months ago

I didn't know what to say when I call...lets say I went out to a club, and met a girl, and I was talking to her, and then I got the number...next day, I didn't know how to say, hey, is me the dude, you met last night...back then, I wasn't as confident. - 10 months ago
What if you we're totally sober, complimented the girl etc. Used about hour to talk to her? Would that make you more gutsy? - 10 months ago

I suppose, but young guys are afraid of anything to do with a girl. I can't tell you how many situations I wish the girl would have taken my number and called me. I would have had many more dates! - 10 months ago
Question Asker
Haha :) The thing might be that it kinda bothers me that the guy hasn't texted or called, since I'm generally the one fending them off. On the other hand he gave me his own number, so I guess it goes both ways. Argh. - 10 months ago

If you have his number, then there it is...He may figure you are two hot for him and that you should make the first move! - 10 months ago
Yes this had happened to me, and it turned out that this dude was really cute and nice. it turned out that he wasn't nice enough to give me a call. we actually exchanged numbers, but HE TOLD ME he'll call. in this case, I guess I didn't bother calling him because of the idea that he didn't man up and stayed true to his word.
Yeh Ive have some people ask for my number and then never given me a call. But even though I don't give out my number to just anyone usually I forget then moment that I do give out my number so I don't really have any expectations if they will call or not.
I mean just think about it. If a guy asks for your number and then doesn't call, you have to ask yourself was he really that great anyways? Plus he might not have called for a different reason then what you may be thinking.
Like maybe he just got scared shitless and was scared of rejection and talked himself outta it. Maybe he left the country and never came back. Or maybe he was just doing that so that he could prove to himself that he could get some chicks number.
The point of the matter is .. that when this situation happens to you all you can do is scream "NEXT!" ... why waste your time? Lol
